Private Chartered Tour in Taipei: Flexible 8‑Hour City & Coast Excursions

Customize an eight-hour private charter across Taipei, New Taipei, and Keelung—choose city landmarks, coastal geology, or mountain trails and let a local driver-guide handle logistics, photos, and kid seats. Practical amenities and flexible pickup make this a straightforward way to cover scattered sights in a single day.

The Experience

Before You Go

Plan a Priority List

Pick 2–3 must-see stops to avoid excessive transit time; the guide can add nearby extras if time allows.

Carry Local Cash

Smaller markets, temple offerings, and some food stalls accept cash only—bring small bills.

Watch the Weather & Typhoon Season

Taiwan’s northeast coast is exposed to storms; if typhoon warnings appear you’ll need to reschedule and follow local safety advice.

Reserve Child Seats Ahead

One child seat is included—note infant details when booking to ensure proper restraint.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Bitou Cape coastal trail for dramatic headland views
  • Lingjiao Waterfall near the Pingxi line—short hike and quiet swimming pools

Wildlife

  • Formosan macaque (in Yangmingshan)
  • Black-faced spoonbill and egrets around Tamsui estuary

Conservation Note

Stick to marked paths in sensitive coastal and mountain zones, avoid single-use plastics, and follow guide instructions to minimize impact on fragile rock formations and temple areas.

Many northeast coastal towns grew during the Japanese-era mining boom; Jiufen and Jinguashi retain mining relics and narrow lanes that reflect that industrial past.

What to Bring

Comfortable walking shoesEssential

Useful for uneven alleys in Jiufen, steps in historic towns, and short coastal walks.

Spring showers are common; a waterproof layer keeps the day on schedule.

Reusable water bottleEssential

Keeps you hydrated between stops—guides provide bottled water but a refillable bottle reduces waste.

Portable phone charger
