If I can read your mind, your question is not precise. I gues you want to go to Barelang, stay to eat, and come back? In that case, negotiation with the driver should be for 4 hours (1 hour to go, 2 hours to eat and relax and chat with your friends, 1 hour to get back).
The official prices from Formosa taxi sign would suggest something like 400k, but I was always able to get the 4 hours for 350k or even 300k (both you and the driver know that you negotiate for 4 hours, but you will probably get back earlier than that).
I am SURE that now hard bargainers and business experts will jump on me saying I was overpaying like a typical tourist, that someone got the same service for 250k, etc. Ok, sorry.
