We compared prices on 8 popular tours on the same day — Jiufen, Alishan, Taroko Gorge, Sun Moon Lake and more. Plus cancellation policies, app UX and an honest pick for every traveler type.
Klook launched in Hong Kong in 2014 and is now Asia's largest activities booking platform, with over 500,000 products across 100+ countries. Its core strengths are first-time user discounts, Klook Cash rewards accumulation and a clean, polished app UX — ideal for travelers planning multi-country trips who want everything in one place.
KKday also launched in Taiwan in 2014, but with a focus on East and Southeast Asia. Its strength lies in small-group tours from local operators that you simply won't find on Klook — particularly in-depth workshops, local cooking classes, cultural experiences and night market food tours. KKday also has granular guide-language filters that Klook lacks entirely.
Short answer: Neither platform consistently wins on every product — both have better prices on different activity types. We recommend installing both apps and comparing before every booking. But if you can only use one, read on to find out which suits your travel style.

| Tour / Activity | Klook (per person) | KKday (per person) | Winner | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🏞️ Jiufen + Shifen + Yehliu Group Day Tour | ~THB 790 | ~THB 720 | KKday ✔ | KKday typically runs smaller groups (8–14 pax) vs Klook's 16–30 — better experience AND cheaper |
| 🌳 Alishan 1-Day Tour from Taipei | ~THB 1,290 | ~THB 1,190 | KKday ✔ | Both tours spend only ~3 hrs in Alishan itself — format similar, KKday ~100 THB cheaper per person |
| 🌅 Sun Moon Lake 1-Day Tour | ~THB 890 | ~THB 890 | Equal | Very close pricing — check current promotions on both apps; flash deals can flip this either way |
| ⛰️ Taroko Gorge Tour from Hualien | ~THB 1,090 | ~THB 990 | KKday ✔ | Note: parts of Taroko remain closed post-2024 earthquake — read current itinerary details on both platforms before booking |
| 🚠 Maokong Gondola + Tea House | ~THB 490 | ~THB 550 | Klook ✔ | Klook's gondola + tea package is consistently better priced — KKday often sells these standalone, making the bundle pricier |
| ♨️ Beitou Hot Spring Day Use | ~THB 690 | ~THB 750 | Klook ✔ | Klook has more hot spring hotel options, lower starting prices and more frequent Flash Deals for Beitou |
| 🎫 Taipei Fun Pass / Klook Pass Taipei | ~THB 890 (1-day) | No equivalent product | Klook ✔ | Klook Pass Taipei is a Klook-exclusive product — not available on KKday. Worth it if visiting 3+ attractions in one day |
| 🍰 Pineapple Cake DIY Class | ~THB 890 | ~THB 750 | KKday ✔ | KKday has artisan local operators with groups of ~6 — more hands-on and cheaper. Klook's versions tend to be larger and more "touristy" |
