What to expect

Take a private day tour to what is arguably Taiwan's most scenic destination, Taroko National Park. Showcasing a diverse range of nature and wildlife: travel from rugged coast, to luscious forest, to the dramatic cliff faces of 19km Taroko Gorge. Delve into the heart of the park at the Swallow Grotto Trail, interspersed with tunnels and the best viewpoint for overlooking the narrowest parting of the gorge, where the river is at its most dramatic. After lunch in scenic Tianxiang, you'll visit the Changchung Shrine (or the Eternal Spring Shrine), a beautiful temple nestled within the hillside, atop a waterfall stream that supposedly never stops running (hence the name of the shrine). Before ending at Qixingtan, famed for its pebble beach and fantastic views of the Pacific Ocean.

Review for: Taroko Day Trip (Guided in English & Chinese)

The tour is great value for money. it covers all the short hikes with a fast connection. I managed to do a lot of what would have maybe taken way too much if had to do the hope on hop-off. Do this and combine with another day to do some of the more difficult hikes if you're into that :)

nice tour but like any other group tours, time is limited per location. We love the energy of the tour guide she’s so accomodating and funny and approachable. Great bus and tour joiners are also fun to be with thanks!

This was a fabulous day exploring the gorge on the MyProGuide tour. Our guide Alicia She was fabulous. Alicia provided clear information and instructions on optional hikes, meeting times and places. Alicia is fluent in Mandarin and English. She gave us relevant historical, current and cultural information throughout the trip. Our bus driver was very professional.

Tour Guide is very fluent in Mandarin and English speaking and Alicia (from ProGuide) has shared in details about the history of the various places of interest we have visited. She is friendly and patient with all of us in the tour group. Taroko National Park is the main highlight of Taiwan Trip

Review for: Taroko Day Trip (Guided in English & Chinese)

This tour is the highlight of our trip in Taiwan. From the narrow canyon of Swallow Grotto, where the Liwu River has carved an almost gravity defying slot through the Earth, to the towering waterfalls of Baiyang, known to the Truku tribe as da-ou-la-ss, “waterfall of the cliffs”, the rich geologic diversity of Taroko Gorge make it one of the more surprising National Parks in Taiwan, that never ceases to amaze. My family love this place so much and will definitely coming here again one day.

100% fully guided Taroko day tour! This is actually my second Taroko Trip as my first one was not a fully guided tour. Mr Jack Lin was my guide of the day and he is very informative on each attraction. He invited me into the group chat one day before the tour and explain the things to know about. While on the day itself, he also add in more information on each attraction. Jack is indeed the best tour guide I ever had for my Taroko day trip. The duration of each attraction is just nice and we were able to avoid the road closure and be back at Hualien station 5 minutes earlier. Totally would recommend others to book this tour!

this was a really great way to see the sights of taroko gorge. Alicia was really great and she was able to communicate in both mandarin and English which is helpful for foreigners. prepare to do ALOT of walking and wear comfortable shoes. some people decided not to do some but I would recommend you do it all as it is all worth it. you won’t regret it at the end of the day. wear warm clothes especially for the beach if visiting during winter
