- Taipei - The driver-guide will greet guests in the hotel lobby or on the first floor, holding a sign with their name.
- Yangmingshan National Park - While traveling to Yangmingshan National Park, there may be an opportunity to spot Formosan macaques. The park’s elevation ranges from approximately 700 to 1,000 meters, offering a cooler climate than the city. Key attractions include Qingtiangang Grassland and Xiaoyoukeng Recreation Area.
- Qingtiangang Grassland - Situated at the top of Yangmingshan National Park, Qingtiangang is an expansive, flat grassland providing breathtaking panoramic views. With an elevation of around 800 meters, the temperature is cooler than the city, making it perfect for a relaxing walk or picnic.
During the Japanese occupation, this area was developed as a cattle ranch. Today, visitors can still see wild water buffalo and other wildlife grazing peacefully. The high altitude often envelops the area in clouds and mist, creating a distinct and ethereal beauty.
- Xiaoyoukeng Recreation Area - Positioned on the northwestern side of Mt. Qixing at an elevation of about 805 meters, Xiaoyoukeng is a post-volcanic geological park where visitors can observe active volcanic phenomena. As you approach, steam vents become visible, and the unique scent of sulfur from volcanic activity can be detected. This area primarily serves as a viewing platform, so extensive walking is not required to appreciate the stunning scenery.
- YehLiu Geopark - Yehliu Geopark is a top destination in northern Taiwan, featuring a variety of unique geological formations sculpted by wind and sea. While the park is renowned for the iconic Queen’s Head, other fascinating formations such as Sea Candles, Fairy Shoe, Ginger Rocks, and Princess’ Head can also be explored. As the park is open and exposed with minimal shelter, it’s essential to be prepared for the weather. In winter, the strong northeast monsoon can be quite cold, while in summer, the sun is intense, so wearing sun-protective clothing or carrying an umbrella and staying hydrated is highly recommended.
- Taipei - Return to hotels or other preferred locations in Taipei City at the conclusion of the tour.

Excellent half day tour - I'd highly recommend this tour for those who want to experience some of the interesting geological features and natural beauty of the Greater Taipei area. Hicks was an excellent guide and knew all the best spots. A very enjoyable short tour.

Great tour! - The tour was very flexible, and we were picked up from our hotel by Henry who was friendly and informative. Plenty of time was given at each location to enjoy the view and take photos. we were able to collect many stamps from the visitor center and had a delicious fresh fish meal.
Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Hail to plan B - Paul was a wonderful guide who was flexible and easy to work with. The rains brought thick fog to Yangmingshan National Park that we needed to have a plan B.
Paul brought us to Jinshan instead which is the first settlement of the Hokkien migrants from Mainland China.
It was a good alternative .
Yehliu Geopark did not disappoint despite the continued drizzle.

perfect day - Vincent is a wonderful tour guide and anyone would be lucky to have his services. Highly recommended, its a private tour with him walking alongside and supporting and sharing/teaching about the area sites. Its not too overwhelming and you still get privacy with ur family but also a fun uncle/friend to banter and chat with. He really matches your energy and I would use his services again back in Taiwan :)

Fun tour to see Yangminshan and Geopark - This was a fun tour and Henry, our guide was wonderful. He was informative on the areas, gave us some tips on other places to go, and how to get to places we wanted to go. The fumaroles and steam was cool to see. The geopark was amazing. December weather can be unpredictable, and it was misty in the pasture walk, so didnt see much.

We had a wonderful time... - We had a wonderful time with Allen! He was very professional, a great driver, and we learned so much from him. When weather prevented us from reaching one of our destinations, we pivoted to a city tour. We highly recommend his service!

Great half day tour! - Our guide Chiao Chiao arrived on time and she was very polite and very informative. The Yehliu Geopark was amazing and we were lucky to see water buffalo in the Qingtiangang Grasslands. I would recommend this tour for anyone looking to fill in half a day while in Taipei!

Despite the rain - If not for the weather, this would have been a great trip. We could not see anything in Yangmingshan National Park because of the fog but I was already warned by our superb tour guide Paul Yang.
Paul had a plan B though and he brought us to Jinshan instead to experience authentic authentic Taiwanese lifestyle. This is the first settlement by their ancestors who travelled from the Hokkien province of mainland China thereby having almost - 400 years of history .
Yehliu Geopark did not disappoint.

Weather adaptating tour! - Unfortunately didnt get to see all the places in the itinerary due to bad weather. However our tour guide Nicholas was very adaptable changing the itinerary around and made our day worthwhile and enjoyable! He was very knowledgeable and gave lots of good tips and places to visit on our own.
