This luxury tour takes us down Taiwan’s magnificent Northeastern coast, stopping for lunch at the fabulous Formosa Pearl restaurant and whiskey sampling at the world-famous Kavalan distillery before heading into Taroko Gorge National Park. We'll head directly to the Silks Taroko, a 5-star hotel in the heart of the gorge with amazing restaurants, a rooftop pool and hot tub, and views that are simply out of this world. The next day we'll explore the gorge by road and foot, visiting some of the shrines, temples, caves and waterfalls that make this most dramatic landscape even more magical. We’ll hike along breathtaking trails, dip our feet in the river, and get into the vibe of the landscape in general before heading back up the coast. Taroko Gorge has drawn travelers from near and far for decades. After our visit, you’ll know why. Related Article: Gorge Soaring – The Views of Eagles along Taroko Gorge’s Trails

Day 1:

Taipei to Taroko Gorge

After leaving Taipei, we'll head to Yilan for a tour of the Kavalan whiskey distillery and an exquisite meal at a nationally renowned restaurant in Yilan. We'll then head down the coast to Taroko Gorge, stopping to dip our toes in the ocean beneath the dramatic Qingshui Cliffs that mark the entrance to Taroko Gorge National Park. The drive through the gorge is stunning, and we'll reach our luxury hotel in the center of the gorge with enough time for guests to check in and explore the nearby Buddhist temple and pagoda complex.
Day 2:

Taroko Gorge to Taipei

You'll wake up in the heart of Taroko Gorge to the sounds of birds (and possibly even monkeys) before enjoying the Silks' outstanding buffet breakfast. Beginning the day in the gorge itself will allow us more time for exploration, and we'll put the time to good use with a few outstanding hikes and visits to any number of amazing spots before making our way back down the winding road to the scenic east coast highway.

Really enjoyed touring with them.

If you want a personalised tour of Taiwan, without all the shopping traps or the usual "tourist sites", My Taiwan Tour is it. Last week, we travelled to Taroko National Park from Taipei with MyTaiwanTour and along the way we enjoyed the scenic seaviews this coastal drive provided. We had great discussions throughout our tour with our guides, which provided us insights on the way locals live, their beliefs and values. They were very flexible in planning their routes to accommodate our request to not visit any handicraft shops nor aboriginal villages, but just see what the beautiful island offers and unusual stopovers that no other tour agency provides. They adjusted the itinerary (without any fuss) if there were any last minute changes and happily search for alternatives for us. I know from this site that a lot of people are looking for English speaking guides cum drivers that could provide a customised itinerary of places of interest, but usually end up with nice Mandarin speaking taxi drivers. Well, MyTaiwanTour is your alternative if you want English speaking guide and customised tours. Really enjoyed touring with them.
