★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 457 reviews · from $75Our pick

Review of a private Taroko Gorge tour from Hualien with local guides, flexible stops, coastal views, history, and practical planning advice.

“Had one day in Hualien and I decided to join a tour to make it easy. Turns out I was the only one that booked and so it was the guide, Alex, and myself. There are still bits and pieces of Taroko not open and it would take days of exploring to go to all the spots, even with only parts open. Alex was great and showed me a lot of interesting places most of which without a vehicle I would have missed. He was great!”
