I figured I would dredge up this older thread since its along the same lines as to what I'm looking for.
I have an extra day in Taipei and wanted to make the trek out to see Taroko NP. I won't have access to a car out there but would like to make a day trip out of it. I've been looking at a couple of tours:
1. Merry Travel Service
http://www.taiwantourbus.com.tw/lang....php?tourId=99
This tour uses the train to and from Hualien so there's less time on the actual tour, but is only about $65USD a person.
2. Tour through Viator.com
http://www.viator.com/tours/Taiwan/T...f=02&aid=g3172
This is a lot pricier at $153USD a person, but has a flight from Songshan to Hualien going there and the train coming back. While there is more time for touring, it seems like part of it is a tourist trap with "granite factory tour"
Anyways, looking for input from anyone who has experienced either for going out to the park. Thanks in advance for the help!
