Taiwan Adventures is a small company operating in Taiwan that’s owned and operated by 4 men from the UK and US. They primarily focus on day hikes or 2-day camping trips but they can customize multi-day hiking trips throughout Taiwan which can include cycling and kayaking. They are in the Luxury category because of price but don’t expect luxurious accommodations — you are paying a premium for private hikes with English speaking guides who have custom designed a trip for you and your companions.
Review of Taiwan Adventures Website
Taiwan Adventures site is in English, which is important because most Taiwanese sites use Google to translate and a lot of details get lost in translation. This site provides most of the important information but it’s still lacking in some details such as what equipment they provide for camping trips. Most details can be found on their FAQ page (under Hikes and Trips) and their Summary of Hikes page makes it easy to see the types of trips they provide. Important to note that you’ll be expected to carry your own equipment which may include shared gear for the group — there are no porters.
