We have a wonderful time at Taiwan, we enjoyed good food, excellent hotel , special Taiwan is very safe place for visiting .

Around Formosa Taiwan

The itinerary was excellent. It covers the major tourist attractions of the whole of Taiwan. The hotels were 4-star hotels with high quality food and service. The only suggestion I have is for the tour guide to take the group to dinner or to take them to a place where they can buy food on the two nights when we stayed at remotely located hotels and were forced to eat at the expensive hotel buffet dinners.

A Taste of Taiwan by Train

Lily Wang, our tour guide for this Taiwan trip was truly amazing. She was very knowledgeable in all the activities. Took us to many beautiful places in Taiwan.I recommend this Taiwan tour to everyone.

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!

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.

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!

Best of Taiwan 9 Days Tour

It was well worth planning our trip around the 9-day tour with some days added on. The friendly meet and greet by Cathy at the airport made getting to and checking into the hotel effortless. The one-day tour preceding the main trip around the island was excellent. Our driver and guide Jacky (Jack) made the visits both informative and interesting, plus an opportunity to gain an understanding of life and economics for persons living in Taiwan. The next day we explored the immediate vicinity of our hotel plus the Museum The follow-on bus tour was superb. In all 1100 km round trip in an air-conditioned bus (with WIFI) driven by Eason Tseng – careful, courteous and conscientious, 27 fellow travellers of various nationalities and of course our guide Alan Chow who provided not only leadership coupled with an anecdotal commentary, but helpful advice. This tour around the island tour was comprehensive, an absolute must for any first time visitor to Taiwan. We extended our visit by a further four days using Taipei as our hub. Hotels throughout our stay were 5-star. While each offers a 1st class laundry service, they also provide a self-service cash operated laundry for the budget minded. They say first impressions are always lasting and they include: cleanliness - even in remote rural areas - yes you may find old vehicles and the like but no litter anywhere! Ease of getting around - if in doubt just ask - people are friendly and while only about 15% of the populous speak English there is always someone willing to help. Public transport - just buy a 2 or 3 day MRT pass (rail) or a multi-pass to include busses. Also taxi's are inexpensive. Better yet - our Westpac bank card (not Mastercard or Visa) - there are many banks with ATM plus the Family Mart ATMs give you direct access to your bank account back in Australia. You can check your balance and draw Taiwan $ cash directly - foreign transaction fee Au$5 regardless of the amount drawn. Furthermore the Taiwanese are scrupulously honest - no tourist mark-up, no tips.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

Taiwan - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

A trip to Taiwan will open you up to a complete contradiction of crowded cities and scenic rural landscapes. With some of the most densely populated cities in the world, Taiwan is a hotspot for busy markets and incredible nightlife. Holidaying in Taiwan will be filled with lush forests, majestic gorges and daunting cliffs. Despite its controversial political status, Taiwan operates under the de facto control of a separate government than that of mainland China, causing it to operate in practice as its own country.

Tour Highlights

• Gaze down at the marble gorges at Taroko National Park
• Take in the city view from Taipei 101, one of the world's tallest skyscrapers
• Experience the traditional Wang Yeh Boat Burning Festival, held only once every three years
• Hike the bamboo trails of Yangmingshan National Park
• Visit the colourful and detailed Longshan Temple
• Discover Chinese Imperial artefacts at the National Palace Museum

Travel Tips

• While English is taught in Taiwan, there is little opportunity to converse in English outside schools. For that reason, conversing in English can still be difficult in the country. When needing directions or advice, look for students or young people - they're more likely to have a good grasp of the language.
• Taiwan is said to be one of the friendliest countries in the world. Despite the language barrier, Taiwanese are incredibly helpful, so don't be afraid to ask for help if needed.
• Taiwanese weather can be tricky. Always carry an umbrella and be prepared for drastic changes. It can be sunny blue skies one second, massive downpour the next.
• Look into purchasing an EasyCard, Taiwan's travel card. The card is accepted as a currency not only for local transportation, it is also accepted in some supermarkets and other shops.
• You can't visit Taiwan without hitting Taipei's night markets. Drop by after 8pm to avoid dinnertime crowds and in some night-time snacks.

Taiwan has seasonal weather so please do check up on best time to visit Taiwan before planning your tour.
