What To Expect
YehLiu Geopark
Yehliu Geological Park (野柳地質公園) resides within a cape 1.7km long and is home to some of the most famous eroded rock formations in the world.
Golden Waterfall
Golden Waterfall is located near the Gold Ecological Park (黃金博物園區) in Jinguashi. Although real gold flowing from these falls would be too good to be true, the water is certainly a beautiful gold color as a result of the combination of regular rainfall in this mining area and the abundance of heavy metal elements deposited in the riverbed.

Full Day of sites and sounds

4.00We didn’t have a lot of time in Taipei so we looked for a tour that would give us the most bang for our buck and show us the highlights of what this wonderful city has to offer. Johnny was funny and entertaining as a tour guide. He was accommodating and thought of the little things. The only thing that I would add to this tour description is the extensive steps and walking at the Falls and at the market. Walking the staircase down or up was a bit nerve-racking, especially at points, where there was no handrails. At the Falls there was no accessibility accommodations so I might include that and future tour descriptions. Otherwise I would gladly do this tour again.
Great experience

5.00I went with my parents and sister in May 2025. The guide is wonderful and gave us lots of information of the sites. He also went above and beyond for us when it came to finding food we could eat. Even on a rainy day, this tour was a highlight during our Taiwan trip.

5.00We had the most incredible day exploring Taiwan with our tour guide, Oliver. He took us to Jiufen, Shifen Waterfall, the Golden Waterfall, the Yehliu Geopark, and even made a special stop for us to light a lantern and make wishes—plus several other thoughtful stops along the way. His timing was *perfect*; we always arrived just before the big bus tours, which made every experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Oliver was not only knowledgeable—sharing fascinating history and stories about Taiwan—but also genuinely personable and so easy to chat with. By the end of the tour, it felt like we had made a new friend. I can’t recommend this tour enough. Skip the crowded big bus options and book this tour instead. You’ll get a much more intimate, meaningful, and memorable experience. Highly recommended!
Perfect tour❤️

5.00Very nice luck. The geopark is fantastic❤️ Excellent and super nice guide and spoke good English. Also told us a little about what we saw along the way, not just about the places we visited.
Fun and enjoyable

5.00Mr. Martin Yang did a wonderful job taking my party of four around. He has great sense of humor. The world is small, we met a couple who joined us on the tour. They are from CA. We had great chat.

3.00To be clear, this is not a tour, it’s a shared taxi ride and they drop you at locations and you will navigate your self. Our driver didn’t speak good English.
Wishes are on the way...:-)

4.00We had an interesting tour. Much seen, exciting country. Our tour with 4 people, we and 2 Chinese women from Australia were carried by taxi driver James in his somewhat unclean taxi. All points on the tour were safely approached and the entrances to the spots were shown. But that was all the so-called "fluently English speaking" tour guide did. Conversation was not possible, especially as it was easier for him to talk to the Chinese women..... a pity, because we have heard from other tour guides who have led this tour english and have told a lot about the country and people. We were so sadly denied that. TOO BAD! ..but we hope that our wishes that we sent with the lantern will come true.!!.
Fun day
