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.
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.

We joined the tour and had a really good experience. Everything was very well organized from start to finish. Our guide Steven was on time, gave clear information throughout the day and was very helpful whenever we had questions. The explanations about the places we visited made the tour much more enjoyable.The schedule was also well planned and we never felt rushed. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable day trip. For those who have limited time, I would definitely recommend this tour.

We had a great tour with guide Steven. He is very knowledgeable and knows the places to visit well, knows the backroads to avoid traffic. He is very flexible adding stops whenever we saw an interesting spot. Kudos.

Vincent was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and he helped us to make our first day in Taiwan special. I couldn’t recommend him enough and he was kind enough to adjust our itinerary when we asked.

Just wanted to compliment BUBBLE who was our guide for this tour. He was extremely professional, helpful, kind, and also funny - it was such a pleasure doing the tour with him, and I hope he gets the recognition he deserves. Thank you for the experience, and thank you for sending Bubble! Bless you all.

Our tour guide, Bubble, was excellent. He did a great job explaining each site we visited. And he provided wifi and water in his van. He’s very thoughtful in assisting elderly family members while walking, offering suggestions on where we can exchange money without fees, and cracked a few jokes along the way. We enjoyed the trip tremendously.

Our guide and driver, Vincent, was excellent and really made our day tour of northern Taiwan a highlight of our first time visit to Taiwan. Very informative, considerate, safety focussed and just a fun and really interesting person with a diverse background. Of the many private and group tour guides we have had throughout our travels, Vincent is definitely one of the best we have had.

My family and I had an absolutely amazing time with Vincent Hsu. He was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made the tour engaging and exciting. He went above and beyond to make our visit to Taiwan excellent. The Geo Park was beautiful and unique. Vincent did a great job at pointing out different highlights and explaining their history. Highly recommend this tour with Vincent!!

I had a fantastic 8 hour tour with Paul and highly recommend his tours which are a great value for what he provides. He is a 10 of 10.. and more. The communication before the tour was clear and efficient and his arrival was prompt - in fact, he arrived early to be sure he was on time. His SUV is comfortable and spotlessly clean and he provided water. Paul went above and beyond in asking what parts of the tour were most important to me allowing me to provide input. He also is very safety conscious letting me know if the sidewalk or path was slick due to rain. He knows the best place for steamed dumplings and another for tea service. He took many great photos of me which he sent me. If you would like someone who has enthusiasm for his job and is knowledgeable of Taipei, you will be happy you chose his tour!

We had an amazing time with our guide Vincent Lee. He was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited, super energetic which created a really fun atmosphere, and took really cool photos of us in unusual places. He also provided really good food recommendations and took us to cool places outside of the official itinerary. On a more general note, I think this trip is really worth it, particularly that otherwise it would be really difficult to see all these places, especially in one day.
