Hualien Taroko Gorge Day Tour with Sakul Trail Hike

Explore the highlights of Taroko Gorge
in a 9-seater vehicle in one day

After hotel pickup, this small-group day tour travels mainly in a comfortable 9-seater vehicle instead of a large coach. Combining light hiking with relaxing scenic drives, you follow a route that covers both the mountains and the coastline to visit Taroko's main sights. Your guide speaks English and Chinese.

The first stop is the Sakul Trail. Walk along a gentle forest path to a waterfall surrounded by lush greenery. This easy hike lets you enjoy the peaceful side of Taroko in nature, away from the crowds.

See marble cliffs at Taroko Gate
and along the gorge road

Take photos at Taroko Gate, the official entrance to Taroko National Park, and visit the Taroko Gorge Visitor Center to enjoy panoramic views and learn about the park's geology and cultural history.

Then drive through the heart of the gorge to admire towering marble cliffs, winding tunnels and canyon scenery, with photo stops along the way. In Tianxiang, a peaceful mountain village deep in the gorge, explore its bridges, temples and quiet walking paths.

Enjoy Pacific coastal views at Qingshui Cliff
and Qixingtan Beach

Qingshui Cliff, where sheer rock walls drop dramatically into the deep blue Pacific Ocean, is the highlight of the tour. At Qixingtan Beach, famous for its clear water and pebble shore, relax and enjoy the sea breeze.

Finally, stop at Gangtian Temple to admire its colorful traditional Taiwanese temple architecture and intricate details before the tour ends.

※ Stops may change depending on which areas of Taroko National Park are open.
