Overview

Taiwan is a country of diverse cultures, a rich and complex history, and pristine nature. This Taiwan private tour was designed to provide an in-depth insight into all these and is perfectly timed to coincide with the Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival when tens of thousands of Taiwanese come together to celebrate and fly paper lanterns in a wish for a better year to come. This private tour can be taken throughout most of the year, offering incredible sights and excellent hiking trails, each season with its own unique characteristics. If you wish to take this trip on any other date, let us know, and we would love to customize a Taiwan private tour at any time of your convenience. Recommended dates for Taiwan private tour: Spring (March to May) and late autumn (October-November) are the best times to visit Taiwan. The summer (June-September) is often when typhoons hit hard on the island and should be avoided. Though less popular, Winter can be a great time to explore Taiwan while temperatures are slightly cooler.

Highlights

  • Step Back in Time. Explore Jiufen's nostalgic lanes and join the magical Sky Lantern Festival in Pingxi.

  • Breathe in Tranquility. Cruise the serene shores of Sun Moon Lake and wander tea fields in the mountains.
  • Witness Sunrise Above the Clouds. Ride the Alishan Forest Railway for one of Taiwan's most iconic views.
