About this activity

Start your 5-day round-island tour of Taiwan with hotel pickup in Taipei. Drive south into the lofty mountains to visit Sun Moon Lake, where you’ll stop at several temples like Wenwu Temple, Holy Monk Shrine and Tse-En Pagoda. At Fo Guang Shan Monastery, one of the most famous Buddhist sites in southern Taiwan, take a walking tour and interact with monks and nuns.
The next day, head to Kaohsiung, the second-largest city in Taiwan. Pass Love River (Ai River) and stroll through Lio Ho Night Market.
In southern Taiwan’s Kenting National Park the following day, admire 37 miles (60 km) of coral-rimmed shoreline and explore the forest recreation area.
On your fourth day, continue your journey through Taiwan’s scenic landscapes with a visit to Taitung’s East Coast National Scenic Area, where unspoiled land stretches for miles down the coast. See incredible land formations created by years of erosion.
Then, in Hualien, marvel at the exceptional beauty of Taroko National Park’s Taroko Gorge, whose marble formations are split by a road that looms under forested peaks and towering cliffs.
You’ll end your journey back in Taipei.
All entrance fees, transportation, accommodation and daily breakfasts are included, and for lunch and dinner, your guide will be happy to recommend great places for you to enjoy authentic Taiwanese cuisine.

Excellent hotels; 2 of the 4 hotels had natural hot springs in the room. Great deal for the money. The tour guide Eric and the driver Godzilla were excellent. If you are going to Taiwan anyway and have several days there, then this is an excellent tour to get to know this country rather than just visiting Taipei.

From the beginning to the end of the tour, my husband and I were impressed. The beautiful sights, excellent hotels, good people, and especially great food. Even though all breakfasts were included, Ernie and I never received a bad meal. And the breakfast, was unbelievable. It was buffet, but not the type of buffet that you would find in Canada or the USA. It was much more than that. You will find the traditional foods such as potatoes, eggs and bacon/sausage. But the different types of vegetables and fruits will amaze you. Ernie gained some weight and I lost 4 lbs...4.81 kgs.The hotels were truly 5 star hotels. The service was the best, from the front desk agents on down the line. I felt that I was the King of England with all of the service that we received. FYI...if you are not used to the rooms and you turn on the lights and they don't come, there is a slot next to the entrance lights that you need to put your room key in to keep the lights on in your room. This may save you a half an hour in attempting to figure out the lighting systems.For me, the best stop was at Marble Gorge. The Hotel was in the middle of the Gorge. It was quite secluded from civilization and it was quite relaxing. They had three Mountain Stream pools with one of the sets of pools marked for nude bathing, along with a steam room/sauna. I totally enjoyed that myself. I would totally recommend this tour (with or without the nude bathing) as you get to see some of the most beautiful country of Asia and the history is some of the most interesting facts that take you back thousands of years.

Our family of four 2 parents and 2 adult children in their 20's took the 5-day Best of Taiwan tour by Edison Travel Service and LOVED it!. Our guide John Chan was awesome! He provided a lot of information about Taiwan and also kept us entertained with fun facts and jokes. John is very knowledgeable about Taiwan's history, culture, and attractions. We enjoyed having him as our tour guide. The bus/coach was comfortable with good air conditioning, USB charging at every seat, and free WIFI. Our bus did not have a bathroom onboard, but there were plenty of opportunities for restroom breaks. Also, plenty of bottled water was provided throughout the tour. The hotels are indeed 5-star quality. Before booking the tour, I was skeptical of the accommodations given the price of the tour itself. We were pleasantly surprised! We stayed at the following hotels: Fleur De Chine, Grand Hi-Lai Hotel, Hotel Royal Chihpen, Silks Place Taroko.
