— Q & A —
- Q. Is there an age limit for boarding?
- A. There is no strict age limit, but as the trip lasts about 2 hours at sea, it may not be suitable for those prone to severe seasickness. Passengers with heart disease, high blood pressure, mobility impairments (unless accompanied by a caregiver), and pregnant women over 26 weeks are not allowed to board.
- Q. Can you see whales and dolphins on rainy days?
- A. Rain does not affect whale and dolphin sightings. Only strong winds and rough waves impact visibility. Hualien Port, located near the Kuroshio Current in the Pacific Ocean, boasts a 95% sighting rate, making it Taiwan’s top whale-watching location.
- Q. When is the best season for whale watching?
- A. The best season is April to October, but as long as the weather is suitable, tours run from March to November in Hualien, where the blue skies and clear waters create an unforgettable experience.
