Yilan: Take a yacht to watch whales and dolphins and enjoy the beautiful sea view - Guishan Island

Guishan Island is a volcanic island located in the Pacific Ocean. It is named because it looks like a turtle and is one of the famous landmarks in Yilan. If you want to go to the island, you must apply in advance. A maximum of 1,800 people are allowed to go to the island per day. The number of participants is evenly distributed in four time periods: 08:30 / 10:30 / 12:30 / 14:30. The maximum number of participants in one time period is 450. However, if you just want to take a yacht around the island to watch dolphins, you don’t need to apply in advance. The only ferry service to Guishan Island is from Wushi Port in Yilan. It is about a 5-minute drive from the nearest Toucheng Station. Dolphin watching is a very popular itinerary for Guishan Island tourism Because the waters near Guishan Island are relatively shallow, it is easy to attract fish to gather here The captain said that April to September is the best time to watch whales and dolphins at Guishan Island, so it is a popular activity during the summer vacation. I recommend that you come at this time so you are less likely to be disappointed! We were so lucky that we saw a large group of dolphins after about 15 minutes of sailing. Dolphins will keep jumping out of the water and some will keep chasing whale watching boats by the side of the boat. It's really super cute! It's an eye-opener and totally worth the price!! In addition to whale watching, the Milk Sea is also a popular check-in spot recently. The Milk Sea is a phenomenon caused by the eruption of underwater hot springs, which makes the originally deep blue ocean appear as white as milk. The gradient created by the milky sea and the deep blue water is so beautiful!! There are also many people who play SUP here and take beautiful photos. If you don't go to the island, the whole trip can take about 1.5-2 hours At the end of the trip, I recommend you to find a seafood restaurant in Wushi Port to eat and taste fresh seafood dishes. I recommend that if you come to Yilan, you can also go to Guishan Island to watch whales and dolphins and see the beautiful Milky Sea!! #Taiwan Summer Vacation Activities #Yilan Attractions
