    What you'll see and do

    1. YehLiu Geopark

      Yehliu is a cape on Taiwan’s northern coast best known for Yehliu Geopark, where sea erosion has shaped honeycomb and mushroom rocks such as the iconic Queen’s Head and Dragon’s Head. The area is mostly flat but offers little shade, so sun protection is advised during summer.

      60 minutes here · Admission not included

    2. Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street)

      Feel transported to this former gold-mining mountain town—once built by the Japanese and now a maze of history-rich lanes and alleys. Most of the charming streets are stairways lined with snack stalls and teahouses, and they can get quite crowded. (Tip: If you’d like to experience Jiufen at sunset or dusk, book a departure after 11:00 AM. This will make Jiufen the final stop, giving you time to enjoy the sunset views and evening lights.)

      90 minutes here

    3. Shifen Waterfall

      Shifen Waterfall is Taiwan’s most famous cascade, fed by the Keelung River, and measures about 20 meters (66 feet) high and 40 meters (131 feet) wide. Reaching the viewing platform takes about a 30-minute walk, partly shaded and crossing a suspension bridge.

      60 minutes here

    4. Shifen Old Street

      This old street is right next to Shifen Station in the Pingxi area, where an active railway line runs straight through the market. Visitors launch sky lanterns on the tracks, pausing whenever a train rumbles by.

    Fantastic day tour in Taipei

    We had such an amazing experience, the perfect day trip from Taipei. The Geo park is a must see, the lantern experience was awesome, the waterfall was beautiful and we loved the old town. Jack was a fantastic tour guide who took such great care of us all day, he was so knowledgeable about all the spots and our six year old kept up great, highly recommend this tour!

    Perfect trip with Vincent

    Vincent is the perfect guide for this tour. We had such a great time with him and enjoyed every second. He did not only make us laugh throughout the day, he also knew so much about all the locations and history. This trip was really an absolute highlight and really helped us to get to know about the surroundings of Taipei City.

    Great tour Guide

    James was a very good tour guide. He is very accommodating and will cater to your itinerary needs as needed. I travelled w my elderly mother and he was very patient and adjusted to our pace accordingly. He is very knowledgeable about history of Taipei and will take you to all the most popular sites and spunds of Taipei. I highly recommend using him if you want to spend a full day in Taipei.

    Great day out.

    James was an interesting and informative guide. Always checking to ensure i was comfortable. The views from up high in the hills was amazing. The Juifen tea houses and market were interesting. In the summer months you should bring a sunshade (umbrella)- its surprisingly hot.

    Taiwan 6hr Shifen and jiufen!

    Our guide James chan was patient and friendly and very knowledgeable about Taiwan history and landmarks. It was a more than pleasant journey as we could take our time and not feel rushed go from place to place. Will book again if I ever come Taiwan for holiday again

    Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Taipei.

    How much does Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup cost?

    +

    Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Taipei usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Taipei is not rushed.

    Is Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 899 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Taipei, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup?

    +

    Around 315 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Taipei can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Taipei and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Taipei within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Taipei?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Taipei experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group: Yehliu, Jiufen & Pingxi Day Tour from Taipei, Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour, Private Taroko Gorge National Park Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Taipei?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Taipei?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
