Amazing!

If you love outdoor water sports, you need to book this tour! Wading through crystal-clear wild rivers, jumping off rocks, and swimming in the canyons at Nan ao was the absolute highlight of my Taiwan trip. The cultural contrast in the morning at the heritage center was a fantastic bonus. Super efficient logistics, leaving right from Taipei Station and getting back in time for dinner. Outstanding value for money!
The ultimate day trip from Taipei

I was a bit nervous about river tracing as a solo traveler, but the instructors were incredibly professional, providing top-notch safety gear and constant guidance. The 9-seater van was super comfortable and made the transit seamless. The pristine water at Nayana Valley is a hidden paradise away from the usual crowds. A flawless 5-star experience!
Highly organized, professional, and very safe for solo travelers!

This 1-day itinerary is brilliantly curated! Walking through the beautifully preserved red-brick streets at the National Center for Traditional Arts in the morning felt like stepping back in time. Then, shifting gears to the wild river tracing in the afternoon was absolute perfection. It perfectly captures both the historic soul and the wild nature of Taiwan. Highly recommended!
The architecture is stunning.

As someone who loves historic design, the morning at the National Center for Traditional Arts was the ultimate highlight. Walking through those beautifully preserved red-brick streets felt like stepping back in time. The elegant brick arches and vintage facades are absolute perfection for photography. And the contrast of shifting from that peaceful historic charm to the wild river tracing at Nan’ao in the afternoon was brilliant. This tour perfectly captures both the soul and the wild nature of Taiwan!
A perfect pairing of historic charm and wild nature.

This 1-day itinerary is brilliantly curated. Starting the Wednesday morning surrounded by vintage brick streets, traditional puppet shows, and local crafts at the heritage center felt so magical. Then, transitioning into the lush, untouched mountains of Nan'ao for a river tracing adventure was incredible. The water at Nayana Valley was so refreshing and clean. It felt like discovering a hidden, authentic side of Taiwan away from the tourists. Highly professional guides and great value!
Best use of a single day!

This 1-day itinerary is incredibly well-planned. Going from historic brick streets in the morning to wild river splashing in the afternoon is an amazing contrast! Since it runs on Wednesday, the Traditional Arts Center was beautifully peaceful, making it perfect for taking photos without crowds. The river tracing at Nan'ao was fully equipped with great gear and fun instructors. Getting back to Taipei by 18:30 is so convenient, leaving plenty of time for a night market feast. Superb value for money!
The ultimate mid-week adventure! River tracing is a must!

I wanted an active trip away from the crowded weekend spots, and this Wednesday tour hit the nail on the head. The National Center for Traditional Arts was a fascinating look into Taiwan's history, but the real star was river tracing at Nayana Valley in Nan'ao. The pristine nature there is unbelievable. The logistics were flawless, getting us back to Taipei Station right on time. If you love water sports, you need to book this!

This itinerary is brilliant! It smoothly combines Taiwan's cultural heritage with a wild river adventure. The Traditional Arts Center felt like traveling back in time with its beautiful vintage brick streets—got so many cute photos there! Then, heading to river tracing was an absolute refreshing escape from the summer heat. The organizing was seamless, and the transport was very comfy. It's the best way to experience Yilan’s hidden gems in just one day!
Fantastic and safe family adventure! Kids loved it!
Sarah & Leo, Jul 2026
We wanted a tour that offered both culture and family fun, and this Wednesday trip was perfect. The Traditional Arts Center in the morning was beautiful and full of history, but the kids were most excited for the river tracing at Nayana Valley. I was a bit worried about safety for a family trip, but the instructors were incredibly professional, providing top-notch helmets, life jackets, and constant guidance. It was active, thrilling, yet completely safe. Highly recommend for families visiting Taiwan!
River tracing was insane!
Tyler Brooks, Jul 2026
I had no idea what 'river tracing' was until I booked this tour, and holy cow, it was the highlight of my Taiwan trip! The afternoon at Nayana Valley in Nan'ao was a blast—wading through crystal-clear wild rivers, jumping off rocks, and swimming in the canyons. The morning at the Traditional Arts Center was a really cool cultural contrast too. Super efficient day trip, leaves right from Taipei Station and gets you back in time for dinner. 100% worth it!"
