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.

Although many of Taroko Park is under repair after the 2024 earthquake, Alex was able to take us to various sites of the most impressive park. Be prepared to climb steps.

We had a fantastic day, the tour was very well organised. Lion was very informative which made the journey and sightseeing even more interesting. We will definitely recommend the tour if any of our friends visit Taiwan. Lion took us to an indigenous restaurant where we bought lunch (NT$ 400) and he was keen to tell us all about the different dishes which was helpful.

The guide didn’t give us an option for food and we ended up paying more then we would have liked to with no choice in the matter and the food was average.

We loved our experience with this tour. We had Sam as our tour guide and he was incredible. Given the circumstances with the earthquake, we were still able to visit so much and learn a lot as Sam was very insightful. We totally recommend this tour if you are in the Hualien area!
