It is said that people who see the dolphins will be super lucky. They drove from the pier of Jiaoxi yesterday to find dolphins near Guishan Island. Despite the wind and waves, the ship's shaking level caught up with the Antarctic through the Drake Strait, and there was no seasickness in the Drake Strait. It was still seasick yesterday.
These are nothing, fortunately, I saw thousands of dolphins jumping and chasing at sea, and have been chasing our boat to jump. It is said that the dolphins have six or seven-year-old IQs. It is really like this. Applause them. They seem to understand and understand, they will give you a 360-degree flip of the sea ballet, which is super good.

There is a saying in Taiwan: "Taiwan is going through, and Kameyama Island can't get there." Kameyama Island was a military control. It was said that the island was previously a snake snake research institute opened by the Japanese. Kameyama Island is an active volcano, the youngest and the only volcano that will surely erupt. At 9 o'clock in the morning, we boarded the boat from the pier. We will head towards Guishan Island, first visit the side of Guishan Island, then sail to the deep sea to find whales and dolphins, and then drive back to the other side of Guishan Island. And finally returned to the dock. The whole process takes about 2 hours, and this trip to the sea will take half a day.
Guishan Island, also known as Guishan Island, is a famous landmark in Yilan. It is also an active volcano in Taiwan. It is named after the turtle. Kameyama Island was once listed as a military heavy ground because of its obvious terrain. The geological conditions of Guishan Island are unique, forming many spectacular scenery, such as Kameyama Asahi, Kohshima Tobacco, Turtle Eggs, Turtle Rock, Tortoise Hat, Turtle Tail, Eyeglass Cave Stalactite Wonderful eight scenes such as Qiqi. The island is rich in natural resources, topographical landscapes, coral reef coasts, and popular whale watching.
The moment I saw the whales and dolphins in the group was very shocking. Some whales and dolphins have a 360-degree flip directly at sea, and even 2 laps or even 3 laps, attracting applause and exclamation.
Recommendation: You can sign up for a half-day tour of the local whales and dolphins, or find a hotel to help you. The captains are more experienced and have professional detectors to track the position of the whales.
