FULL ITINERARY

Keelung Port Pickup & Private Transfer

Upon your cruise ship’s arrival at Keelung Port, your private guide will be waiting at the port with a welcome sign for easy recognition. After a warm greeting, begin your Keelung shore excursion with Shore Excursions Asia by comfortable private coach or chartered vehicle, leaving the busy port area behind as you travel toward Taiwan’s dramatic northern coastline. This carefully planned route combines coastal landscapes, mountain villages, cultural traditions, and scenic photo stops at a relaxed pace for cruise passengers.

Yehliu Geopark

Your first visit is Yehliu Geopark, one of Taiwan’s most remarkable natural landmarks. Shaped over centuries by wind, waves, and coastal erosion, the park is famous for its unusual rock formations, including mushroom rocks, ginger stones, and the iconic Queen’s Head. As you walk along the oceanfront pathways, enjoy the fresh sea breeze and the striking contrast between rugged stone formations and the Pacific coastline. This is one of the most memorable highlights of many Keelung shore excursions.

Golden Waterfall

Continue to the Golden Waterfall, a distinctive photo stop known for its warm golden and copper-toned rocks. The unusual colors are created by mineral deposits in the surrounding hillside, giving the waterfall a dramatic appearance against the green mountain backdrop. This short scenic stop is ideal for photography and offers a glimpse into the unique geology of Taiwan’s northern coast.

Shifen Old Street

Next, visit Shifen Old Street, a nostalgic mountain town built around an old railway line. The area is best known for its traditional sky lantern experience, where visitors may write wishes on a lantern before watching it rise gently into the sky. Along the street, small local shops and food stalls create a lively but charming atmosphere, while the passing trains add a memorable sense of place. This stop offers a gentle mix of culture, local life, and personal experience.

Jiufen Viewpoint

Travel onward to Jiufen, a hillside village admired for its atmospheric tea houses, red lanterns, narrow lanes, and sweeping coastal views. From the viewpoint, enjoy panoramic scenery over the mountains and the turquoise coastline below. The village is especially loved for its old-world charm, making it a rewarding stop for guests who appreciate cultural scenery, photography, and a slower moment to take in Taiwan’s mountain landscape.

Shifen Waterfall

Conclude the sightseeing portion of your tour at Shifen Waterfall, often regarded as one of Taiwan’s most impressive waterfalls. From the viewing area, admire the broad curtain of water cascading into the pool below, with cool mist rising from the falls and lush greenery surrounding the scene. It is a refreshing and scenic finale before beginning the return journey to Keelung Port.

Return to Keelung Port

After a rewarding day of coastal landscapes, mountain villages, local traditions, and natural scenery, relax on the return drive to Keelung Port. Your guide and driver will ensure you arrive back at the cruise terminal in good time before your ship’s departure, completing a comfortable and memorable Taiwan shore excursion.
