It was fun in the approaching typhoon conditions. - We enjoyed the forest of cedar and cypress trees in Alishan. The guide's English was easy to understand and his Japanese was pretty good. Trains were suspended due to the approaching typhoon, but they were able to adjust their schedules on a resourceful basis, which was a great pleasure.

good experience - This Alishan day tour was an amazing experience! The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the itinerary was well-organized with just the right amount of time at each stop. The Sacred Tree Trail and the Alishan Forest Railway were especially memorable. Transportation was comfortable and on time, making the whole trip very convenient. It’s a great option for travelers who want to explore Alishan without the hassle of planning everything on their own. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chiayi or looking for a stress-free way to enjoy Alishan’s natural beauty and fresh mountain air. Would definitely join again!

Great time with Captain Cook! - 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)
