Jay – India

I honestly don't know how much it would have been to do so this on my own, but it seemed like a fair price. Anne, the guide was very polite and certainly likeable. The transport was VERY comfortable, as they evidently intentionally limited the number of participants to ensure that the transport would feel very ample. I thought there was "enough" time for each place, but I also felt that the visiting time at ANY of the sites could be extended.

We had an amazing time on this day trip! Everything was well-organized and smooth from start to finish. Our tour guide, George, was the highlight of the day. Incredibly helpful, friendly, and full of interesting insights that made each stop even more meaningful. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. Thanks to him, this experience was not only enjoyable but truly unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Taiwan!

Full description

Take a day trip from Taipei to explore the best of the northeast coast of Taiwan. Visit the scenic town of Shifen, stroll along the old cobblestoned streets in Jiufen, and marvel at Yehliu Geopark's unique landscape. Choose between a shared tour with other travelers or a private tour.

If you select the shared tour option, make your way to the meeting point in Taipei. If you select the private tour option, you'll be picked up at your hotel. Once you are with your guide, drive toward Shifen.

Upon arrival in Shifen, discover a town rich in culture, history, and natural scenery, including Shifen Waterfall. Create a Chinese lantern with a wish written on it, then release it into the sky.

Next, continue to Jiufen to continue exploring Taiwan's history and culture. Walk along the famous Old Street and admire the Japanese-inspired architecture. Have the chance to eat local food (not included) while you're there, too.

Later, visit the natural classroom Yehliu Geopark. Explore the bizarre terrain formed by thousands of years of geological movement, which have forced the mountain to jut out of the ocean. Admire the Queen's Head rock formation and more before returning to Taipei.

For the 9:00 AM departure, the itinerary follows this order: Shifen Old Street > Shifen Waterfall > Jiufen Old Street > Yehliu Geopark.

For the 12:00 PM departure, the itinerary is as follows: Yehliu Geopark > Shifen Waterfall > Shifen Old Street > Jiufen Old Street.

However, the order of attractions may be adjusted based on the conditions of the day. The above itinerary is for reference only.

*Please note that if the Shifen Waterfall suspension bridge is undergoing annual maintenance, an alternative route will be taken, which may require additional walking.

The tour is very well organized and our guide, Lindl, was lovely. The places visited are nice. However, it must be noted that they are extremely touristic. Avoid if you don't like crowds!
