What To Expect

YehLiu Geopark

Yehliu is a cape on Taiwan’s northern coast best known for Yehliu Geopark, where sea erosion has shaped honeycomb and mushroom rocks such as the iconic Queen’s Head and Dragon’s Head. The area is mostly flat but offers little shade, so sun protection is advised during summer.

1 hour • Admission Included

Shifen Waterfall

Shifen Waterfall is Taiwan’s most famous cascade, fed by the Keelung River, and measures about 20 meters (66 feet) high and 40 meters (131 feet) wide. Reaching the viewing platform takes about a 30-minute walk, partly shaded and crossing a suspension bridge.

Our tour was truly awe inspiring from the Geopark and all the magical stone shapes, the breathtaking suspension bridges, stunning waterfalls to the adorable rainbow of sights and senses in the old towns. We really really appreciated all the kindness, wisdom and guidance of our Amazing guide Jennifer. She made our day truly special to remember 💕💕💕
Perfect Day trip if you have only a short time to explore Taiwan

Wonderful day traveling to the Geopark, coastline, waterfalls and cool little old town, Shiflen - all not too far from Taipei! We also painted a lantern to release into the air- so fun! Our guide, Jacky was awesome!! He was very knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited, and knew all of the great places to pose for pictures! The car was very comfortable and he had it stocked with water bottles. Bring cash for the little towns, the museum gift shops take credit cards. You may want to use an umbrella as you walk around - the sun was intense! Ask for Jacky - you won’t be disappointed!
Great experience

Our guide was friendly, competent, and enthusiastic. However, she communicated only the basic information about the locations we went to. We were hoping for more history, background, and especially stories, of which there were very few. She also was a bit too enthusiastic about getting us to buy souvenirs.
Fun but lots of stairs.

Our tour guide Nicolas Ying was great. Very personable and shared interesting facts. We enjoyed all 3 of the places on the tour and would recommend it. We especially enjoyed releasing of our own lantern. Just be aware that there are a lot of stairs on this tour - to the waterfalls and in Jiufen. The Yehliu Geopark involved walking on a lot of uneven surfaces. In Jiufen, we were taken to a restaurant for lunch. The restaurant has stunning views but was expensive and the food not great. You are paying for the views. We would have preferred eating food from the different stalls in Jiufen.
We would do it again in nicer weather with the same quide.

Danny was amazing! We had an incredible day even with the rain, exploring the Geo Park, hiking to waterfalls, exploring towns like Shifen and Jiufen. Thoroughly enjoyed our day including the very authentic Taiwanese lunch and the oolong tea in the afternoon with Danny. Highly recommend this outing and ask for Danny!

Our private tour to Jiufen, Shifen, and Yehliu Geopark was absolutely unforgettable, and that was all thanks to Ben! From the moment he picked us up, Ben was punctual, professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing Taiwan with us. Throughout the tour, he provided fascinating insights about each destination and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. What truly set Ben apart was how wonderful he was with our children. He was patient, friendly, and made sure the whole family felt comfortable and engaged throughout the day. Ben is also hands down the BEST tour photographer we’ve ever met! He knew exactly where to position us for the perfect shots and captured beautiful photos at every stop. To top it off, he even took the time to edit the photos before AirDropping them to us. The pictures turned out amazing and are memories we’ll treasure forever. As if that wasn’t enough, we accidentally left our stroller in his van after the tour. Ben went above and beyond by personally dropping it off to us the very next day. That level of kindness and customer service is incredibly rare. Ben didn’t just give us a tour—he created an exceptional experience for our family. If you’re considering a tour of Jiufen, Shifen, and Yehliu, do yourself a favour and book with Ben. He is truly outstanding and deserves recognition for the incredible work he does. Thank you again!!
