Tour Overview

[Early Summer Water Fun] Choose from the "Rapid Star" and "Upward Star" boats!

Hualien's Xiuguluan River rafting boat upgrade! Comfortable boat, easy rapids, low capsize rate

You can purchase additional transportation to arrange round-trip transfers to Hualien City, or a one-way transfer back to the original meeting point!


Rafting on Hualien's Xiuguluan River is one of the most popular water activities in eastern Taiwan. Experience the ever-changing canyons and turbulent meanders with a boat upgrade. Whether it's the comfortable self-draining boat or one of Hualien's signature models—the Rapids Star and Upward Star (with no fear of being covered in the event of a capsize), these boats offer a safe and exciting way to experience the thrill of the valley streams in summer. Hualien's Xiuguluan River rafting also offers a convenient pick-up and drop-off service from downtown Hualien, which can be added upon request.

- Boat Introduction | Hualien Xiuguluan River Rafting -

▲ Self-Draining Boat
The unique air-cushioned design of the boat's bottom provides exceptional comfort and excellent drainage, eliminating the need for constant scooping.

▲ Rapids Star
The signature model of the Hualien Xiuguluan River raft offers optimal maneuverability in the water, with a bow-shaped wave barrier for added excitement. Maneuvering is effortless and easy, ensuring a thrilling and safe experience.

▲ Upward Star
Hualien's exclusive patented "Won't Cover You" rafting system, featuring a collision-type design with double-pointed ends, protects riders in front and behind, increasing the thrill of rapids and preventing you from being covered in the event of a capsize.
