A Great Day Trip

Jiemin_X, May 2026

If I could give higher rating than the full score, I would rate this 120-150%. Felix - the tour guide and driver - speaks both English and Mandarin. He’s like an elder brother taking care of everyone and accommodating additional stops as much as he could. We had 6 people in the tour group coming from different countries, which is just nice. We ended up with extra adventures to experience the traditional railway Bento at Fen Qi Hu (奋起湖) and tea tasting in a tea farm in the mountains. Everyone in the group enjoyed the trip very much and we appreciated Felix’s effort of making this trip so worthwhile. It was really a fun day!

Into the Cool air of Alishan National Forest!

After traveling in busy and hot Taiwan cities, it was such a pleasure to head into the clouds with Mr. Cook. The forest and the quaint train rides are absolutely lovely. Mr. Cook did a great job of engaging the folks on our tour with history, stories, and some fun that made for a great outing.

A five star tour to Alisan's forest.

The day tour was the perfect experience as Alishan's forest is not the easiest to access. From the pick up in the morning, the drive to the place, the acitivies offered everything was well organised. Thank you so much to our guide Mika who was as friendly as professional. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful scenery

PEIFEN_L, Nov 2025

The way all the way to top of mountain is around 1.5 hours. I got car sick because the road is winding. However the forest is beautiful. We walked to the top and took train down. They have a food court in the recreational area, you can buy local lunch there. The trip is finished at around 5PM, the tour guide will drive you back to the original place.

Our guide, Cook, paced...

Our guide, Cook, paced the walk well to get us to the end before the heavy rain. He also took our photos at the best photo stops.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear that Cook guided you efficiently and captured great photos at the highlights. It’s wonderful that you could enjoy the tour even with the weather.

The tour guide is great!...

The tour guide is great! Great photo taking skills and rich history explaination! He makes the tour so much more interesting!!! Car is quite comfortable too.

Great time with Captain Cook!

Joey_F, Mar 2025

Captain Cook was great! Awesome bilingual (Chinese and English speakers well accommodated) experience. Comfortable vehicle, great narration throughout the sites, and he was helpful with navigating food and souvenir purchases. Be aware that there are a LOT of stairs in the experience, and you will need to bring cash (recommend minimum 800 NTD per person for food, Alishan railway ticket, bus shuttle, and some souvenirs)

120% Recommended! 120% Recommended!

Thanks to our guide Mika, really amazing! Being both a driver and a guide, one person is in charge of everything, and has been patient in explaining the history, culture and various interesting little stories of Mount Ali. The driving skills are also good, the mountain roads are many turns, but the whole process is steady, reassuring. The Mika people were also warm and took care of everyone in the group and the atmosphere was always good. The whole group felt relaxed and happy playing. If you want to go to Alishan and don't want to toss traffic yourself, this group really recommends it! Five-star rating.
