Itinerary
Day 1
Taipei
On arrival at Taoyuan International Airport, you will be collected by a private driver and transferred to your hotel in Taipei. Your first evening in the Taiwanese capital is at leisure.
Please note: Although this is a private tour, the included sightseeing will be conducted on a shared basis, meaning you will join other travellers for the included excursions. Please also note that sightseeing may take place in a different order to that listed below - rest assured all Inclusions remain the same.
Day 2
Exploring North Taiwan
Taipei - Yeh Liu - Jiufen - Shifen. Leave the city behind as you set off from your hotel in Taipei for a full-day shared sightseeing tour exploring Taiwan’s dramatic northern coastline and charming mountain towns.
Your first stop is Yeh Liu Geopark, a surreal landscape of honeycomb rock formations, sculpted by sea and wind. You’ll have time to walk along the coastal trails and view its most iconic feature, the Queen’s Head - a naturally formed stone resembling the profile of a queen. The park is a fascinating showcase of geology, and you can spot formations with names like Fairy Shoe and Sea Candles along the way.
From Yeh Liu, continue inland to Jiufen, a former gold mining town perched on the slopes of the mountains. Wander the narrow alleyways of Jiufen Old Street, packed with teahouses, souvenir shops, and local snack stalls. Enjoy time to explore at your own pace and enjoy lunch at leisure - perhaps try traditional taro balls or a steaming bowl of fish ball soup with views over the East China Sea.
In the afternoon, head to Shifen Waterfall, sometimes called Taiwan’s “Little Niagara.” A short, easy walk brings you to a viewing platform overlooking this impressive 66-foot cascade, surrounded by lush greenery.
The day ends at Shifen Old Street, set along a historic railway line where trains still pass directly through the centre of town. Here, you’ll have the chance to write your wishes on a colourful sky lantern and release it into the air - a local tradition believed to bring good luck. Afterwards, return to Taipei, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel in the early evening.
Day 3
Taipei
Your short break in Taiwan ends after breakfast and hotel check out. A private transfer takes you back to Taoyuan International Airport for your onward flight.
