What Our Customers Say About Us

Hassle free every penny was worth it..

Brought my senior citizen parents with me and decided to buy tour tickets instead just to make sure that we'll be able to release lanterns at the event... A must-attend festival indeed before you die. Thanks again MyTaiwanTour for this convenient tour!

Angel , U.S.

Great guide and great family tour

Our guide, Esther, was awesome! She was able to give us a bunch of history and was accommodating with our two elementary-age sons. The tour is great for young kids when they won't make the full day. Ending at Din Tai Fung is a great concept.

Matt P. , U.S.

Great Introduction to Taipei With Flexible Itinerary

Jett rearranged the typical itinerary to accommodate our wishes. Provided us with excellent commentary about Taiwan, made sure that we were perfectly placed for the changing of the guard, took us to a great restaurant and then guided us through the museum.

Richard J , U.S.

Seven day private tour

Highly recommended. Debby was easy to deal with and more especially patient as we changed our itinerary constantly. Gordon our driver was fun and friendly and happy to change the itinerary to suit the weather, our changing moods, and levels of tiredness.

Douglas99 , U.K.

Like Good Friends Over a Cup of Tea

The best part of this tour is the people who guided us along this trip. The trip was engaging like we were traveling with good friends whom we just actually met that day. These guys created a memorable experience on our Taiwan trip.

Stephen C. , Philippines

Amazing day with Kevin visiting Jiufen and Taipei!

Kevin picked us up with a big smile and a warm welcome to Taiwan. Kevin kept us so entertained and informed that we almost forgot it was raining. We had to alter our day some because of the rain but Kevin had many options for us. We had the most enjoyable day!

mcguireshanealan , U.S.

Excellent private tour!

Excellent guide, very knowledgeable. And great driver! They were able to give us different routes to get to our destinations! Very friendly and kind, too. We were really able to see the main spots in Jiufen and Yilan. The food they recommended was great as well.

Faus Y. , U.S.

Excellent introduction to Taipei

We had an absolutely excellent visit with David. He was a wealth of knowledge not only about tea but about Taiwan itself. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone spending more than a few days in Taipei.

Andrew W. , U.K.

Recommended Tour Around Taiwan - A Journey of Connection

Read a fantastic story from our customer about her trip across Taiwan, visiting many breathtaking natural sites.

Jiufen - A Place of Remembrance

In the enchanting town of Shifen, a second-generation Chinese family from Aruba found solace and unity as they crafted a lantern in honor of their late son, Jordan. With the lantern's heartfelt message glowing against the night sky, their shared moment of remembrance became a poignant memory etched in time.

Taiwan Tours & Vacations

When Portuguese sailors first saw Taiwan off the starboard bow in 1544, they christened it Ilha Formosa, the 'Beautiful Island'.

And can you blame them? For 400 years communists, capitalists, imperialists, and everyone in between have fought over its mist-shrouded forests, soaring peaks, and plunging coastal cliffs. These days it’s definitely a case of ‘come for the adventure, stay for the stir-fries’, with some of the best fusion cuisines around, top road cycling, excellent mountain trekking, and world-class coffee to boot. Also variously known as the Republic of China and Chinese Tapei, Taiwan is a destination that has most definitely come into its own.

Best time to visit taiwan.

While there’s really no bad time to visit Taiwan, some months are more predictable than others.

September to November is the best time to visit when you’ll find balmy nights, rich autumn foliage, and off-peak prices.

Traveling in spring (March to May) is down to luck: it could be clear skies, monsoonal rain, or even a sandstorm blown over from   China .

Swimming is best mid-year (June to August) when the weather can heat up, but there is always the small risk of typhoons.

Geography and environment

Taiwan is a little like   South America   with its spine-like ridge of (often impassable) mountains running southwest through the center of the island. The beauty of this setup is that topography and environment can change very quickly.

You can be cycling through low-lying rice paddies around Taitung one day, traversing the high forest passes of Yushan the next, and then finishing up on the white northern beaches around Fuguei Cape.

Generally, the central national parks and east coast are the most spectacular regions; the west coast is flat and highly developed with urban areas spreading over the river basins and flood plains that lead to the sea.

Festivals and events

Public holidays that may impact travel include:.

Founding Day of the Republic of China

Republic Day Holiday

Chinese New Year

228 Peace Memorial Day

Qingming Festival /Tomb Sweeping Day

Children's Day

Dragon Boat Festival

Mid-Autumn / Moon Festival

ROC National Celebration Day

Please note dates of Taiwan's public holidays may vary.

Top 5 attractions in Taiwan

1. sun moon lake.

One of Asia’s best-kept secrets, Sun Moon Lake is easily the equal of any Como, Bled, or Windermere. It’s a huge blue oasis hidden among the green peaks of Taiwan’s central mountain ranges. By day it’s merely beautiful, but in the blue-gold light of dawn, with mists rolling over the water and local fishermen paddling past, it’s like something out of a fairy tale.

2. Taroko Gorge

They have to shoot a James Bond chase scene through here, that’s all there is to it. Taroko Gorge was made for the cinema. It’s a winding maze of looming marble crags, huge cut-out roads tunneling right into the mountains, rushing river gorges, and looping alpine passes. If you are ever being chased by gangsters in your supercar, you want it to be here.

3. Qingshui Cliffs

Just google an image of ‘Qingshui Cliffs’ before we continue. All done? Now you know what we’re talking about. They’re basically a 21 km stretch of sheer jungle-covered cliffs plunging straight into the East China Sea, with a tiny highway clinging on about halfway up. This is not a journey for vertigo sufferers, but for fans of jaw-dropping natural wonders, it’s a must-do.

An easy one to tick off, since it’ll probably be your first stop in Taiwan. The northern city of Taipei is the island’s capital and offers a beating, chaotic counterpoint to the Zen-like beauty of the southern national parks. If you think it’s crazy by day, just wait until night, when a neon glow lights the sky and lantern-lit markets spring up in the colorful Songshan district.

5. Penghu Islands

Penghu is one of Taiwan’s hidden gems, an archipelago of 90 islands between the mainland and China. They’re remote, but worth the journey, with brilliant beaches devoid of crowds, glorious temples, towering basalt columns, and genuine old-fashioned Chinese hospitality. Penghu is also a windsurfing mecca and a nesting ground for rare green sea turtles. Not bad for one tiny volcanic island chain.

Further reading

Taiwan travel faqs, do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Do I need a visa to travel to Taiwan?

TAIWAN VISA

Nationals of most countries are eligible for the visa exemption program, which permits a duration of stay of 30-90 days. Please check with your nearest consulate for your specific eligibility.

Is tipping customary in Taiwan?

Tipping is not really common practice in Taiwan, except perhaps in the more high-class hotels. Most restaurants have a service charge built into the price, and taxi drivers will usually return your change to you.

What is the internet access like in Taiwan?

As one of Asia’s more tech-savvy destinations, cyber cafes are common in the major cities. Free Wi-Fi can also usually be found at the local library.

Can I use my cell phone while in Taiwan?

Cell phone coverage is excellent in Taiwan, apart from some of the more remote mountain areas. Ensure global roaming is activated before leaving home if you wish to use your mobile while traveling.

What are the toilets like in Taiwan?

Modern flushing toilets are commonplace in Taiwan, although it can be hard to find a public toilet in large cities.

Can I drink the water in Taiwan?

Water in Taiwan is usually filtered, and therefore safe, but use your common sense. Restaurants will generally filter their water, as will most of the drinking fountains. If you can’t find these in the more rural areas, bring some purification tablets to treat the water.

Are credit cards accepted widely in Taiwan?

Most hotels and department stores accept VISA and Mastercard, but Diners and AMEX are not usually accepted. For restaurants and small stores, cash is the normal form of payment.

What is ATM access like in Taiwan?

ATM access in Taiwan is exceptional, with most of their ATMs able to withdraw money from anywhere in the world using the Plus or Cirrus system. There is usually a TWD 20,000 limit for cash withdrawals.

Is Taiwan accessible for travellers with disabilities?

We’re committed to making travel accessible for everyone, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Taiwan generally has   accessibility   in mind when building new infrastructure, however, as a mountainous place there are many natural barriers to those with limited mobility. Outdoor activities such as hiking or visiting national parks are common on itineraries and may be off limits to wheelchair users or travelers for who steps or uneven ground are an issue. Wheelchair-accessible tour buses may be able to be booked in advance and taxis are good value. MRT trains have accessible facilities. Many hotels and guesthouses will have barrier-free rooms, but often cafes and restaurants have seating on upper floors without lifts. Outside Taipei and Kaohsiung cities and towns can lack sidewalks.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Explore Taiwan

I was in Taiwan on my solo trip. After checking out of my hotel at 11.30 am, I got a message that my flight was delayed by 5 hours. I was elated as I got a few more hours to roam around the beautiful city of Taipei, but I had to keep my luggage somewhere. There, among the many boons and banes, technology became a savior for travelers like us. Suddenly, my experience in Europe flashed in mind that I realized there must be luggage storage rental services in Asia as well. Well, luckily I got to know about Lalalocker, my savior. It was cheap as well and they operate out of salons, restaurants, cafes and many other common locations along the metro. I kept it in Ludique creme. However, these services recommend you not to keep expensive items in your luggage, just in case. So, keep a small backpack handy to carry your expensive stuff with you before ditching your luggage. This service of Lalalocker in Taiwan made my day! Nice service.

5-day Classic Taroko Gorge, Sun Moon Lake & Alishan (Private)

We had an excellent time. Alex was very knowledgable on the sites we visited and took us for some great street food. Alishan sunrise was beautiful we were very lucky with the sun rise. My mom and I enjoyed this trip very much!

2-day Taroko Gorge Private Tour (Classic)

I very much enjoyed my two day/one night tour to Taroko Gorge with Jaron. He was a wonderful guide and driver. Got to see a lot in the two days and had perfect weather, I really lucked out! Enjoyed the night market and the food we tried on the first day and the Gorge all the 2nd day. Thanks!

Taiwan Island - 9 Days

One small Feedback, I Paid 125 NTD for my City bus transporation from Hotel Evergreen Laurel to Taipeh Airport the day after the packaged tour ended. I was informed in Advance, that People arriving too early or leaving after the Group tour, will not be given a ride to the Airport or picked up from there. But, given the entire expense of the trip - I don't see why the tour Agency can not offer to provide such bus tickets in Advance to those that have to get to the Airport shortly afterwards. I was also not informed, that from the Airport I could have taken that Evergreen Shuttle bus directly to my Hotel - instead of paying 1200 NTD for my taxi ride. My flight was delayed to Taipeh, so probably I would not have made that last shuttle bus anyhow - but for future trips - I think that possibility could be made clearer for new arrivals to the Country. But other than that - everything was very well organized and structured.

Best of Taiwan 9 Days Tour

Alan Chou was an exceptionally good guide for the 5 day coach tour component. There was a 1 day tour for just the two of us up front with a free day in-between. Really a 7 day holiday with arrival and departure days making it sort of 9 days. Toroko Gorge was a highlight. Hotels were great, once you work out how to switch off all the lights. Tedious systems that would be OK in your own home once learned, but daft for such short stays. Still well worth 5 stars overall !!

Abandoned Taiwan

excellent, highly recommendable, versatile, not the general kind of tourism one receives mostly everywhere with large groups of boring people. This was not everything spoon fed but for the person who has an interest in a country and doesn't mind the unusual, the different, the out -of-the way experience. We would like to see more but due to the Earth quake we were unable to travel the East Coast of Taiwan but will keep it in mind. Good food, inexpensive, great markets (not just night markets but the artistic markets), good hotels, good driver and tour guide, in short summary, highly recommendable for the person who wants to have an experience outside the famous box. There are plenty of those tours for the boxed-in travelers elsewhere.

• Intl. Flights Included

Taiwan Tea Culture & Monastic Life

We really enjoyed our vacation in Taiwan with Moskito Adventures. The tour was excellently organized. We saw a lot and the hikes in the Taroko Gorge and the bike tours were our personal highlights. Our guide was very caring and always made sure we were comfortable. Thank you very much, dear Chris ???? We will definitely book again, as Korea is still on our list. Best regards Jonathan and Petra

• Flights included

Private 3-Day Tour to Sun Moon Lake and Alishan

Such a magical experience! Our driver was really friendly as well as our guide, with great recommendations for local-fare for the time away from the tour. Mr. Chang made sure to introduce us to a special Taiwanese tea ceremony since the museum from the tour did not have such an exhibit. He was also really friendly with the locals that made our group feel really welcomed to the environment. He expertly lead the way through the Alishan terrain and knew the best places to take photos. He not only kept up with but outpaced an entire flock of 20-somethings!

For a well-rounded experience, spending around 7 to 10 days in Taiwan is recommended. This allows time to explore major attractions, cities, and enjoy diverse cultural experiences.

The best time to visit Taiwan is during the fall (September to November) when the weather is mild. Spring (March to May) is also pleasant, avoiding the summer’s heat and humidity.

Taiwan offers a range of budget options, making it relatively affordable. While some aspects may be cheaper than Western countries, prices can vary, and Taiwan can be considered moderately priced for travelers.

This Hidden Hiking Trail in Taipei Leads to the Most Gorgeous Viewpoints — Especially at Sunset

The steep climb is well worth it for the mix of natural wonders, stunning viewpoints, and cast of characters.

Rachel Chang/Travel + Leisure

After winding through the backstreets of Taipei’s Xinyi district in the late afternoon, I finally arrived at the sign I had been searching for: the trailhead of the hike to Xiangshan (Elephant Mountain). I glanced upwards with a mix of dread and shock — there was no way this uneven stone staircase tucked in the back corner of an urban neighborhood could lead to one of the most stunning views of the Taiwanese capital.

I ducked into a shrubbery-shrouded corner, debating whether to let my foot issues win out and admit defeat already. But then I heard a gaggle of Taiwanese women chattering away, practically skipping down the stairs, with joy springing out of every step. They must have been decades older than I. Coveting that same spirit, I exhaled deeply and started my ascent. 

Named for its shape resembling the trunked mammal, the sandstone mountain Xiangshan path is part of the Nangang Mountain System . It has long been a favorite of Taiwanese locals for evening strolls as it winds up craggy cliffs and rocky terrain through endemic plants like the Taiwanese Cibotium and flying spider-monkey tree fern, both markedly verdant and slightly fantastical, enveloping hikers into a subtropical paradise hovering above Taipei’s basin. 

For the last two decades, the pathway has led to the most postcard-ready views of the city. More recently, it has captured the attention of photographers and Tiktokers alike ever since Taipei 101 — the tallest skyscraper in the world when it opened in 2004 and now in 11th place — went up, becoming one of the city’s most recognizable icons. 

Technically opened 24 hours, twilight has become the choice time to climb the mountain, hopscotching through the pathways through various platforms, each with its own gasp-worthy vantage point at varying elevations. 

Along the way, the trail tosses in a dose of Grand Canyon-like vibes as it passes through a group of massive stones called Laolaixia (Six Giant Rocks). Feeling dwarfed between the natural walls, I looked up to see fellow hikers climbing atop them, some posing for impromptu photo shoots, others enjoying picnic meals, but all with eyes on the colorful drapery of the sunset just starting to wash over the entire scene before us. 

I looked for a spot to plant myself here among the mix of locals and fellow travelers, who had assembled to watch the sunset. With spectacular natural rocks in the foreground, the iconic skyscraper background, and fern-filled foliage in between, surely it couldn't get better than this. 

Then I saw a few people proceed upward. Curious, I followed. 

The steps grew steeper and narrower, but not long up the path was a sign that read “Xiangshan Peak 184 meters.” Out of breath, but satisfied, I reveled in stumbling up to the summit. Just around the bend was an elephant silhouette frame, perfectly framing Taipei 101 in the center, an Instagram-worthy way to commemorate the ascent to the top of the 604-foot mountain. 

As fellow travelers and I took turns exchanging phones to take our summit shots, squeals of delight erupted spontaneously as buildings started to light up. Slowly, the colorful sunset scene morphed into a beautiful skyline of city lights, with the biggest "oohs" and "aahs" coming when Taipei 101 illuminated.

In that one 90-minute hike last spring, I had managed to see three sides of Taipei — standing strong and bold by day, feeling romantic and flirty by dusk, and finally showing off its magical night lights after dark.

Fortunate enough to return to Taiwan again in the fall, I make a point to repeat the experience, but this time changing the setting by venturing out in the morning.

The scene was notably quieter. At every intersection, I chose the path I hadn’t taken on my first trip, finding new corners of Nangang Mountain, at one point feeling like I had wandered straight into a "Harry Potter"-adventure passing through a mini cave.

But on this trip up Elephant Mountain, it wasn’t so much the views, but the people that drew my interest. My journey literally doubled in length to a nearly three-hour adventure, as organic conversation sprung up with fellow hikers, both in English and Mandarin. 

I sat down for a chat with a group of Americans from Utah and Florida, who shared their tips for where else to visit on the island, while a pair of young Taiwanese women told me about their lives jetting between their hometown and their jobs in Mexico. I passed by a Gossip Girl -type atop the hill, lost in her phone with a Chanel shopping bag in hand, and then ran into a group of Korean businessmen, as we tried to figure out how to navigate a tricky portion of the trial. Together, we ran into a neighbor local, who amusingly told us she couldn’t help us with directions since she can't read maps and had to continue on her daily route.

While Xiangshan may lure hikers up through its maze of trails to find varying perspectives to take in the city, it's the playful interactions with the people along the way that make this elephant experience one that's truly unforgettable.
