Your Ultimate Taiwan Adventure: 8-Day Private Tour Around the Island
Beyond Taipei—See the Island as Locals Do
Most visitors only scratch the surface of Taiwan—usually just Taipei 101, night markets, or a day trip to Jiufen. But Taiwan's true story begins where Taipei ends. This 8-day premium tour takes you beyond the capital, where coastlines, mountains, temples, forests, and Indigenous cultures unfold in vivid detail. With a private car, handpicked boutique hotels, and a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll see the full mosaic of Taiwan—without the hassle.
Day 1–2: Central Taiwan – Lakeside Serenity and Mountain Echoes
Kick off your journey in Sun Moon Lake, a place of peaceful grandeur. The tranquil lake, shrouded in mist and myth, has long been sacred to Taiwan’s Indigenous Thao people. As the journey winds upward into Alishan, the landscape turns mystical. You’ll ride the historic forest railway, breathe in the cypress-scented air, and witness a sunrise above a sea of clouds.

This part of the island whispers. It’s a slow dance of tea, fog, and forest, where the modern world fades away.
Day 3–4: Southern Taiwan – Legacy of Empire and Local Pride
In Tainan, Taiwan’s oldest city, every alleyway hides a temple, a folktale, or a piece of colonial history. It’s a living museum of Confucian teachings, Ming loyalist dreams, and Dutch colonial ambition. Down in Kaohsiung, the tempo changes. Colorful art zones, bold architecture, and harborfront breezes welcome you to the future-facing south.

These days explore Taiwan’s layered identity—from its philosophical roots to its industrial rise.
Day 5–6: The East Coast – Untamed Beauty, Indigenous Voices
The East Coast isn’t just scenic—it’s soulful. From Taitung to Hualien, dramatic cliffs, ocean winds, and Indigenous cultures shape a wild and poetic landscape. Soak in hot springs, bike through rice paddies in Chihshang, and connect with communities whose stories predate Taiwan’s modern maps.
-
The east is where Taiwan breathes deepest. It’s unfiltered, spiritual, and unforgettable.
Day 7–8: Northeastern Taiwan – Where Nature and Nostalgia Meet
As your journey loops back north, Yilan welcomes you with rolling hills, cold springs, and nostalgic countryside charm. Whether it’s savoring local seafood or wandering through rice fields, Yilan offers a gentle landing after a week of wonder.
