Every year, the “Yehliu Night Tour” features light shows, water projection, etc, attracting over ten thousands visitors flock to see the Queen’s Head illumined at night. Besides the Queen’s Head, other remarkable formations such as the Sea Candles, the Fairy Shoe, the Ginger Rocks, the Elephant Rock, the Ice Cream Rock, the Kissing Rock, and the Princess’ Head, are worth taking a look at.

5.00Had a fun time, every stop we had a good amount of time except the last stop at the Queen's head, that felt rushed since it was the end of the day. Though each stop was really cool and I enjoyed it.
Wonderful Tour

5.00Tony was terrific. He was informative as a guide and gave us plenty of time at each location. We were never rushed. On a side note, I messed up and went to the wrong location to start the morning. Tony drove to my family and pick us without complaint. He really was great. The tour location were also beautiful. My family loved the tour

4.00Guide's accent was a bit of a problem. Frequent loud beeping in bus, maybe from turn signal. Interesting geology. Fun hot air balloons.
Great English speaking guide. Driver was good and car was clean.
