Camping in Taiwan’s lush forests can be a treat for even the most rugged outdoorsman, or fun for the whole family. If camping isn’t your thing, comfortable, reasonably priced lodges and hotels are found all over the island. We have a number of hikes that can easily be done in a weekend or extended into multi-day adventures. So, get out of the city and enjoy the mountains with us!
We sometimes offer these hikes as pre-arranged group hikes. For more information, check out and join our facebook group. For more information on customized trips to these locations, contact us directly.
