Taroko National Park
One of Taiwan’s most famous destinations, Taroko National Park is known for its marble canyons, lush forests, and towering peaks. The Liwu River has carved the stunning 18 km Taroko Gorge, where sheer marble cliffs rise above turquoise waters. Our visit includes highlights such as the Taroko Gorge Entrance Arch, Visitor Center, and scenic viewpoints along the gorge. Although some trails remain closed due to the April 2024 earthquake, your experienced guide will take you to the best open spots with breathtaking views and hidden photo opportunities. We dedicate a significant part of the day to exploring Taroko, with short walks, plenty of photo stops, and a relaxed pace. Sightseeing duration may vary with traffic, weather, or park rules, but your guide will adjust the itinerary to ensure the best experience. This full-day tour usually lasts around 8 hours, so starting before 8:30 AM is recommended.

5.00While it might be a little more expensive than others, the tour was very personalised. Our guide Vincent was very familiar with the National Park as he used to work there. So we got a lot of first hand information. Vincent was awesome, the day was well planned and delivered, and communication was excellent.

5.00An absolutely amazing tour! Although parts of the park are closed we felt like we saw so much. Alex did such an amazing job, taking us to so many locations - and they all varied so much that it was constantly entertaining and fun! We learned so much history, more than any museum we have visited. Thank you to Alex, and absolutely book this tour!
