Taitung County has launched the “Low-Carbon Light Travel Green Island GO” campaign, integrating a local low-carbon industry alliance on Green Island to introduce low-carbon travel packages during the off-peak months of September and October. The initiative encourages visitors to explore Green Island via island-loop buses, bicycles, and on foot, and to bring their own utensils and toiletries. To promote and reward the concept of green travel, the county government will subsidize operators NT$400 per participant (limited to 2,000 people) during this period. Operators will then offer discounted package tours, with the lowest-priced regular two-day, one-night Green Island tour starting at just NT$4,190.

Uni Air operates three round-trip flights daily, with four flights on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. It has also packaged an environmentally friendly Uni Holiday Green Island Low-Carbon Tour, available for groups of two, with a two-day, one-night stay starting at just NT$4,190 per person. The package includes round-trip flights from Taipei to Taitung, round-trip ferry tickets from Taitung to Green Island, accommodation, transfers between Taitung and Green Island ports, breakfast, and a complimentary 24-hour bicycle rental – even more cost-effective than purchasing discounted advance round-trip flight tickets alone for NT$4,100. Departure dates range from September 1 to October 31.
