Tour Reviews
Had a wonderful day on this tour, highly recommend! Stunning views and beautiful scenery. Also learned a lot about the history and geology of Taiwan, which was super interesting!
So glad you enjoyed the tour with us! Come back any time!
This tour was amazing! AT was our tour guide and he did such a good job of making everyone feel welcome. His English was excellent as well. Our group of four thought he was a lot of fun and his personality really enhanced the trip. We drove through Taroko Gorge and saw the incredible beauty that the gorge had to offer! AT was extremely knowledgeable and taught us all about the area and culture. He also shared with us information and stories about the earthquake that helped us understand the difficulties faced by the local area and people. While the gorge is still under restoration, this did not limit the experience of the visit. The aboriginal restaurant that he brought us to was delicious and a highlight of the trip! We also went to the visitors center in Taroko Gorge which was very interesting and educational. Big thank you to our guide and Island Life Taiwan for an amazing trip!
Today we went to Taroko Gorge, unfortunately many of the trails are still closed so we didn’t have the possibility to explore it all, but what we saw was amazing. Also, we were really lucky because our guide, Jason made the experience wonderful. He explained the history and a lot of facts about Hualien and Taroko. He is really passionate and he can transmit his passion to the people. I hope to come in future with Taroko fully open and meet Jason again!
We did the tour yesterday with Santa. It is a great day and definitely worth your money. Santa is a very knowledgeable guy and made sure the day went smoothly.
When in doubt, book it!!
Thank you so much Jason!!!
for sharing with us your deep knowledge and connection to the region in an instructive, funny and most enjoyable way. I wish you all the best and success as a guide and as a very nice and good person!! Thanks again for this colorful day.
Take care !
We had a awesome tour. AT showt us as much as possible, told us a lot about de park, people and culture and the stops were more than worth it to visit the park! It was a nice day, thanks, AT!
So happy you enjyed the tour! Thanks for visiting us!
The two of us enjoyed our guided tour with Jason very much. It was an informative day tour that started at 7:30 with a pick-up from our Hotel. Jason is a local right from Hualien and the most intelligent tour guide who is happy to show his hometown and surroundings. The gorge is very impressive, even after the earthquake a year ago.
Thank you for the wonderful review! Join us again any time.
For anyone in two minds about whether or not it is worth visiting Taroko Gorge, it is!
We were skeptical about how much we would see and whether it’d be worth it, but decided to take the plunge and book a tour with Island Life Taiwan. Alan our tour guide was absolutely amazing! His communication and explanations of the whole area were so insightful. He fully explained the itinerary, kept us up to date with the weather and showed us all the best spots! It’s hard to understand the scale and magnitude of the gorge without seeing it in person. Even despite the trails not yet being open, we would 100% recommend and was one of the highlights of our trip!
A massive thank you once again to Alan who went above and beyond for us!

We are thrilled you had such an excellent time with us. Thanks again!
We truly enjoyed our tour with Jason today. We saw so many beautiful places we would never have found on our own. Plus we enjoyed learning some history and geology about the island. Lunch at the aboriginal village was a delightful experience as well. So glad we found this tour.
We had a great day togehter with local guide Jason. He showed us as much as possible around the reopened Taroko gorge and beyond. We learned a lot from his explanations and historical expertise. Highly recommended!
So glad you had a wonderful time with us! Come back any time!
Awesome tour, even though we couldnt get out on the trails in the park yet. It’s still spectacular to drive through, and the stops we did make were worth it. The stops outside the park were fun as well. Would recommend Island Life for sure.
So happy that Taroko Gorge has reopened! Island Life Taiwan always provide the best tours in Hualien!
