  Wushih Harbor

  Departing from Wushi Harbor, this whale and dolphin watching tour offers a thrilling encounter with Taiwan’s rich marine life. As the boat heads into the open sea, the coastline gradually fades, replaced by endless blue horizons and fresh ocean air. Experienced guides share insights about local ecosystems, adding depth to the journey. With a bit of patience and luck, pods of dolphins often appear, playfully riding the waves alongside the boat. At times, whales may surface in the distance, their powerful yet graceful movements creating unforgettable moments. The sound of the ocean, combined with the excitement of spotting wildlife in its natural habitat, makes this experience both relaxing and inspiring. This ocean adventure is more than sightseeing—it is a chance to reconnect with nature, appreciate marine conservation, and create lasting memories on Taiwan’s northeastern coast.
