My English is not very good, but I must say thank you Flowmosa! Day 1 shrimp fishing was a huge surprise for my family. In Spain we eat gambas (shrimp), but we never fish them inside a room! So funny! We catch many, grill them with salt, and eat for dinner. Spectacular taste! Also, Flowmosa gave us a giant 9-seater van, so comfortable for my old legs. The tour is not expensive at all, big value!

We travel with my family and we are so surprised! For this price, Flowmosa gave us a beautiful, giant 9-seater van. So much space for legs and all our big bags! The driving to Taipingshan mountain was very smooth. The accommodation for 2 nights was super clean, big rooms, and very cozy style. I think this tour is a crazy big value, not expensive at all for everything included! Flowmosa is the best for families!

Very good tour from Flowmosa agency. It was my first time in Taiwan and everything was easy. Guide speak good English and help with all translations. Mountain walk in Taipingshan was beautiful, and hot spring water is perfect. Milk Sea paddle board (SUP) was the best part of trip, amazing blue water. High quality service for good price. Thanks Flowmosa team for good memories.

I don't speak English very well, but no problem with Flowmosa. They take care of us like family. The scallion pancake DIY at the farm was so tasty! And the tea farm experience was very peaceful, nice smell. The pizza at Drifters Pub at the end was actually very good for a place so far from Italy! Flowmosa choose very nice hotels for the two nights, very clean. I recommend this tour for everyone who love relax and beautiful sea.
Alejandro Gomez, Aug 2026
Wow! What a beautiful country Taiwan is! Flowmosa made our holidays perfect. Day 1 shrimp fishing was so funny, we catch the shrimp and eat them directly, delicious! The hot spring was super relaxing for the body. The SUP activity at the Milk sea is a must do, very beautiful photos for my family. Flowmosa guides have big energy and big smile all time. Don't think, just book with them, very good!

If you want to escape the hustle of Taipei, let Flowmosa plan your trip to Yilan. As English speakers, we were worried about communication in the countryside, but Flowmosa handled everything seamlessly. The private van was incredibly comfortable, which was great for the mountain roads. Shrimp fishing on the first night was a hilarious and authentic cultural experience. Flowmosa curated an itinerary that balances relaxation with high-quality local experiences perfectly.

I love the Day 3 morning so much. The E-Shan Tea Farm is very beautiful and quiet. We make our own 'tea-smoked eggs'. It is crazy because the egg shell changes color with smoke, and the smell is amazing! I never eat egg like this in Europe.The grandmother at the farm was so sweet, she don't speak much English but she show us with big smile. This DIY is a very beautiful memory for me!
Giulia Rossi, Aug 2026
I love the culture part of this tour. Making the green onion pancake with my hands on Day 1 was so nice. And the tea farm on Day 3, the smell of tea eggs was incredible! The final pizza at Toucheng beach was surprisingly very good (and I am Italian, so I know pizza!). Very good organization, no stress, very safe for solo girl.

It is difficult to go to Taipingshan mountain if you don't have car, so this tour is perfect. The agency organize everything very good. Mountain forest on Day 2 was beautiful with fog, and hot spring after hiking was total relax. Traditional Taiwanese food was interesting ,we try many things we never see in Europe. Very good price for weekday with hotel and dinners included. Thank you!
Elena Gómez, Aug 2026
I don't speak perfect English, but the guide was so patient and friendly! For me, Day 1 shrimp fishing was crazy and so fun, we laugh a lot. And Day 3 Milk Lake SUP... oh my god, the water is like blue milk, so beautiful for photos. The tour is very relaxed, not running too fast. The hotel on weekday was very quiet and clean. I love Yilan, it is much better than crowded cities.
Sarah Jenkins, Aug 2026
I loved how this itinerary flawlessly connected Taiwan's farming culture with its wild nature. Pulling organic scallions from the mud and visiting the eco-friendly tea farm were deeply grounding experiences. Hike in a mossy primeval forest on Day 2, and paddle on the ocean on Day 3—it's the perfect nature therapy!
Lukas Weber, Aug 2026
This itinerary is a masterclass in showcasing regional culture. Visiting the Kavalan Distillery was a bucket-list moment for me—the tasting session was highly professional. I also deeply appreciated the eco-friendly focus at the E-Shan Tea Farm, learning about organic farming directly from the locals.The juxtaposition between mountain hiking on Day 2 and ocean SUP on Day 3 shows how geographically diverse Taiwan is. The agency ran everything like clockwork. Efficient, sustainable, and authentic.

As an Aussie, I'm pretty spoiled when it comes to nature, but Yilan blew me away. Day 2 in the ancient, mossy forests of Taipingshan felt like exploring a real-world Jurassic Park, and soaking in the blue geothermal waters of Jiuzhize right after was pure bliss.The tour guiding was flawless—English-friendly and super accommodating. Ending the entire trip at Drifters Pizza Pub in Toucheng was a genius move. Great craft beers, fantastic wood-fired pizza, and a cool beach-vibe crowd. It’s the ultimate way to wrap up a 3-day adventure.
Melissa, Aug 2026
Living in a city-state, we always crave nature. Yilan is so close to Taipei but feels a million miles away. This weekday tour was perfect—no weekend crowds! The SUP experience at Guishan Island was deeply bucket-list worthy, we hate to leave Yilan.
Eric, Aug 2026
If you think Taiwan is just night markets and skyscrapers, you’re missing out. This 3-day Yilan tour was hands down the highlight of my Asia trip. The Kavalier Distillery was world-class, but the real shocker was the 'Shrimp Fishing' night—drinking cold beer while catching my own dinner was a peak local culture experience! And Milk Lake? Unreal. Doing SUP next to an active volcanic island with that milky blue water looked straight out of a fantasy movie. Highly recommend this itinerary for anyone wanting adventure without the crowds!
Mia Anderson, Jul 2026
I wanted to see something beyond the usual tourist attractions, and this was exactly what I was looking for. The traditional culture, local farms, natural scenery, and outdoor experiences showed me a more authentic Taiwan. I would choose this kind of travel again!
Clara Fischer, Jul 2026
This 3-day tour stole my heart. I loved the hands-on farm experiences—making our own green onion pancakes from scratch at the farm and picking tea leaves on Day 3 were so rewarding and fun. The scenery throughout the trip was breathtaking; Taipingshan feels like a magical, misty ancient sanctuary. Ending the tour at Drifters Pizza Pub with a cold craft beer felt like hanging out with friends. Everything from the cozy transport to the smooth pacing was perfectly curated. Highly recommend!
Anna Kowalska, Jul 2026
Some tours are either too busy or too slow, but this one had a great rhythm. We had exciting activities like SUP and exploring the mountains, but also relaxing moments with good food and conversations. It felt comfortable from the first day. Btw, the milky ocean and turtle island are incredible!!
Julian Vance, Jul 2026
My partner and I wanted a nature-focused getaway and this tour delivered beyond our expectations. The organic tea farm experience on Day 3 was a beautiful, relaxing morning, and the afternoon SUP experience at the volcanic Milk Sea looked completely surreal. We also loved the cozy vibe of ending the entire trip at Drifters Pizza Pub with craft beers—it was the perfect touch. The transport was very comfortable and the planning was seamless. A deeply rewarding 3-day escape!
William Harris, Jul 2026
Yilan has a special atmosphere that is hard to explain. This trip gave us enough time to enjoy the scenery instead of just passing by. The mountain views at Taipingshan were incredible, and the hot spring afterward was exactly what we needed. A very memorable few days.
Hannah Morris, Jul 2026
I booked this tour to escape the busy city of Taipei, and it was the best decision ever! The itinerary is incredibly well-thought-out. Day 1 at the Kavalan Distillery and making our own scallion pancakes was an awesome start. But Day 2 blew my mind—hiking through the misty, fairytale-like forest of Taipingshan and then soaking in the natural hot springs was pure magic. Paddling at the Turtle Island Milk Sea on the final day was a bucket-list moment. Our guide was wonderful and everything was stress-free. 10/10!
Abby Walker, Jul 2026
Before this trip, I only knew Taiwan through Taipei. Yilan completely surprised me. The countryside, fresh food, ocean views, and slower pace showed me a completely different side of Taiwan. The scallion farm experience was simple but so enjoyable, and I loved learning about everyday local life.
Marco Rossi, Jul 2026
I honestly didn’t expect shrimp fishing to be one of my favorite activities, but it became one of the funniest moments of the trip. Sitting together at night, trying to catch shrimp, chatting, and enjoying local dinner was such a unique experience. The next days were even better with mountain views, hot springs, and the amazing Turtle Island SUP adventure.
