Sun Moon Lake - 1 day

Great Tour with Great Guide!
We were 4 girl friends celebrating 35 years of friendship. We decided to go to Taiwan for the food. But we also wanted to see the sights. We found David online and it was the perfect start to our trip. He fetched us at the airport at 9am and we proceeded with the day tour of Sun Moon Lake. We had a very nice Caravelle van to ourselves, he gave us delicious guava to munch on, and water. He was very flexible when we decided to go to the Ropeway as well. The only blight was the rainy weather which of course was no one's fault. At the end of the day, he dropped us at our hotel. It was a very good use of time and we learned a lot as David used to be a professor as well. He also gave us food recommendations and the ones we tried was spot on. The price was reasonable and we paid at the end of the tour. We highly recommend David to everyone!

Perfect Day at Sun Moon Lake
I had a fantastic trip and boat ride. The area is very lovely in natural beauty. We had a nice lunch with local food. It was nice to get out of the big city of Taipei.
Response from the operator: Thank you. We can do better with your review..

Well worth the long drive seeing Sun Moon Lake in a day
I highly recommend this tour. the long drive from Taipei (3 hours) is worth it though it would be easier from Taichung. Traffic in Taipei is worse especially in the evening. This might extend the driving time. David, my guide brought some fruit for the tour but obviously forgot about some water. He was super early. So we left 10 minutes earlier from my hotel. Instead of doing a boattrip on the lake I decided to be driven around the lake - around 20km. There are some good stops at temples or the marinas where the tour boats leave. David had a few stories to tell about the history and also stopped in the beginning at a tea plantation to let you taste the local tea. Before returning back to Taipei we stopped at another temple that was destroyed by the 1999 earthquake. The epicenter was close to Sun Moon Lake. At the temple you can see the power of the 7.2 magnitude which lasted about 2x 90 seconds. The photo stops at the lake are veey goid as you can see all sides of the lake. David didn't tell the truth about the depth of the lake which I foubd out afterwards. So if you like to know more do some research yourself. Lunch is on your own once you get to Sun Moon Lake as it'll be around 12pm when you start at 9am. You still have enough time at the lake though the drive is very long. Highly, recommend this tour uf you want to see nature away from the big city of Taipei and New Taipei.
Response from the operator: Thank you for this real and trustworthy review. Tour guides and drivers of My Taiwan Journey always want to extra steps to make our guests' journey more colorful and interesting. Always bring our guests' to the picture-perfect spot to take the unforgotable pictures. Thank you. See you next time.

Taiwan Nantou 1 Day Tour
My trip with My Taiwan Journey has been a great one! We hired David to bring us around Nantou for 1 day. He is a punctual and meticulous driver. He greeted us with freshly cut fruits when we first met him. Since our trip conincides with the typhoon season, he took the extra mile to bring umbrellas and towels for us when we were caught in the rain. On top of that, he is a knowledgeable tour guide. He accompanied us to certain tourist attratcions and gave detailed explanations. I will definitely recommend David to my friends! :-)

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
One-day Sun Moon Lake Tour Package: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taipei.
How much does One-day Sun Moon Lake Tour Package cost?
+
Prices start at $550 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Taipei usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does One-day Sun Moon Lake Tour Package take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Taipei is not rushed.
Is One-day Sun Moon Lake Tour Package worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Taipei, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule One-day Sun Moon Lake Tour Package?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is One-day Sun Moon Lake Tour Package suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book One-day Sun Moon Lake Tour Package?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Taipei can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Taipei and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does One-day Sun Moon Lake Tour Package start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Taipei within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Taipei?
+
On Outty we rank every Taipei experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour, Private Tour to Jiufen, Yehliu Geopark, and Pingxi, Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Taipei?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Taipei?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
