Taiwan Adventures offers private overnight hikes and multi-day hiking trips across Taiwan, including forest camping trips, remote mountain villages, hot spring hikes, lake campsites and comfortable lodge-based adventures. Our English-speaking guides can help with route planning, transport, meals, permits, accommodation, camping gear and safety support.
These trips are ideal for hikers who want more than a Taipei day hike but do not necessarily want a full high mountain expedition. Depending on your fitness, experience and travel dates, we can arrange easier weekend hikes, challenging camping trips or custom multi-day hiking adventures.
We sometimes have these trips as pre-arranged group hikes. For more information, check out and join our facebook group.
