Introduction

Here at OROKO, we are celebrating all things Taiwan. From the renowned night markets of Taipei to the dramatic mountains, home to thundering falls and healing hot springs, Taiwan is as diverse as it is inspiring. On a marvellous journey through the lesser explored lands, discover the traditional customs of the Hakka people in Hsinchu, the street murals of Taichung’s Rainbow Village and watch sky lanterns being released into the night’s sky in Shifen. Accompanied by your expert private guide every step of the way, this tailored exploration leaves no stone unturned as we explore every wonder of Taiwan.

Trip Overview

Depart from Dublin to Taipei.

Your private driver will be waiting to transfer you to your luxury accommodation in the lively city, where you’ll spend the next three nights.

Explore Taipei by day and night.

A marvellous city that drastically changes as the sun goes down, start the day exploring its quiet colonial lanes and temples. After sunset, set out on a guided night tour, stopping at the night markets to sample flavour-packed dishes like beef noodle soup and century eggs.

Taipei Night Market
Discover the north-eastern coast of Taiwan.

In the company of your private guide, start visiting the landmarks of Shifen, which includes the beautiful Shifen Waterfall, often referred to as Taiwan’s Niagara Falls. Alongside visiting famed sites, we’ve arranged a memorable sky lantern releasing experience.

Shifen Waterfall
Leave city life for the traditions of the countryside.

With your private guide, set out for Hsinchu, where you’ll visit a local farm, pick fruit and learn about traditional Hakka culture and tea making. We’ll also stop at Zhudong Central Market before transferring to Taichung for your overnight stay.

Hsinchu
Discover Taichung’s Rainbow Village.

Explore the marvellous rainbow village, where military buildings’ exteriors were converted into a street art canvas. Admire the many murals before spending the remainder of the day at Sun Moon Lake and checking in to your lakeside hotel for your two night stay.

Taichung Rainbow Village
Enjoy a day spent at Sun Moon Lake.

Situated at the foothills of the Central Mountain Range, the tranquil lake is surrounded by forested peaks and numerous hiking trails. Admire the beautiful landscape as you embark on a lake cruise, visit a local tea plantation and explore nearby temples.

Sun Moon Lake
Relax and unwind in the quaint resort town of Guguan.

Transfer to your luxury resort in the dramatic mountain surroundings of Guguan, where you’ll enjoy two nights relaxing by the outdoor garden pools, bathing in healing spring baths and sampling the seasonal cuisine of the region.

Guguan hot springs
Return to Taipei.

Spending another three nights in the capital, we’ve arranged a privately guided tour of Taroko Gorge, an exceptionally beautiful gorge carved into the marble mountain by the Liwu River. You’ll also visit marvellous sites like the Eternal Spring Shrine, Swallow Grotto and Qixing Lake.

What people are saying

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you so much for the most wonderful holiday we had in Eagles Palace in Greece. In terms of OROKO, the service and value for money was excellent and how everything was looked after for us.  I look forward to booking my next holiday next spring! To finish, a big big thank you for one of the best holidays ever!
