    What you'll see and do

    1. YehLiu Geopark

      In the morning we will pickup you in your hotel and we’ll head towards the north coast of Taiwan to visit Yehliu, a geological park that houses numerous rock formations with surprising figures, result of marine erosion over the centuries.

    2. Shifen Waterfall

      After visiting Yehliu we will enter the mountains of northern Taiwan to discover the Shifen Waterfall, dubbed the “Little Niagara of Taiwan”. A natural wonder that will leave you breathless. With an impressive height of 20 meters and a majestic width of 40 meters, this waterfall offers a visual and auditory spectacle that immerses you in the grandeur of nature.

    3. Jiufen Old Street

      Finally we will visit the photographic town of Jiufen. This small town is located on the mountainside, and enjoys stunning views of the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Jiufen houses a market along its main street, where we can sample local delicacies – such as pineapple cupcakes or a meatloaf with rice paste – and visit the workshops and shops of artisans who have settled in Jiufen. The town is famous for the traditional tea houses hidden in its winding alleys, and for the red lanterns decorating its streets, which infuse Jiufen with a special charm. But not only will we stroll and admire the alleys, shops, and spectacular views, but we will also have the opportunity to have lunch at one of the famous teahouses with privileged views of the coast and mountains surrounding this dreamy village.

    Great way to spend a day outside of Taipei City

    Andy was very communicative with arrival time and knowledgeable about the sites visited. The car was comfortable and impeccably clean and well appointed. We had plenty of time to linger in places that were interesting and he even ended up sending us a car to take us to the airport the next day.

    We had a great day...

    We had a great day exploring the North Coast of Taiwan. Andy is a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge about the area and its history. The day was well-paced and we have a load of photos to commemorate our visit.

    Hola Taipei!!!

    It’s a curated private tour experience with the convenience seeing sights at your own pace. Cristian was a very warm, hospitable, conscientious, and knowledgeable driver/tour guide. This is a perfect itinerary for a day tour, and I would definitely recommend it.

    A step back in history and Geopark

    The Geopark, Jiufen and Shifen can be very crowded. Learning more from Samuel, our guide, about the sites were very informative and interesting. Samuel's knowledge of where to traverse made it more efficient. Would love to do another tour with him the next time we visit Taipei.

    Private Day Trip to Juifen, Shifen and Yehliu Park

    Wilson was fantastic! He picked us up at our Hotel and the vehicle was a Mercedes Van that was very comfortable for the day trip. He was very knowledgable about the locations and handled everything and kept us to perfect schedule. He also took fantastic pictures and compiled a great video for us at the end of the trip. I would highly recommend this trip if you are looking for great day trip. 5 stars for sure!

    Private Day Trip to Jiufen, Shifen and Yehliu Park: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Day Trip to Jiufen, Shifen and Yehliu Park cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 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 Private Day Trip to Jiufen, Shifen and Yehliu Park 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 Private Day Trip to Jiufen, Shifen and Yehliu Park worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Taipei, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Trip to Jiufen, Shifen and Yehliu Park?

    +

    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 Private Day Trip to Jiufen, Shifen and Yehliu Park 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 Private Day Trip to Jiufen, Shifen and Yehliu Park?

    +

    Around 11 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 Private Day Trip to Jiufen, Shifen and Yehliu Park 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 Full-Day Private Custom Taipei City Tour, Private Tour to Jiufen, Yehliu Geopark, and Pingxi, Full-Day Private Northern Taiwan Tour from Taipei with Pickup. 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.
