Angelic Stream Trekking (departure with 4 people)

Along the amazing Pacific Coast of Hualien, a local quodis arcana is hidden nearby in Yanliao, a local fishing port, where the untraversed Angelic Stream is situated. The crystal clear water of the stream gurgles and keeps its ecological characteristics with the old forest. You will totally get relief from the summer heat while trekking in the forest and the canyon. Along the way, the ice-cool stream and eye popping ecological abundance make it one of the most suitable family-bonding aqua activities in Taiwan. While the water flow of river-tracing is bigger and more urgent which makes the difficulties of the tour increased, the water flow of stream-trekking is smaller and gentler, it’s extremely suitable for the whole family to have fun together.

Enjoy stunning views of Taroko Gorge, Taiwan’s Grand Canyon

Taroko From Hualien In A Day is designed for travelers who want to experience Taiwan's most iconic natural landscape without compromise. From the moment your guide meets you at Hualien Train Station, every detail is taken care of — leaving you free to simply take it all in. Since the major earthquake of April 2024, navigating Taroko has become genuinely challenging — traffic control windows, unannounced road works, and restricted sections make independent travel through the gorge stressful and unpredictable. A seasoned local guide who knows the regulations and the road makes all the difference, getting you to Tianxiang and back smoothly while others are left guessing. Your day spans the full east coast experience — from the dramatic cliffs of Qingshui to the spiritual heart of Tianxiang, closing with the sweeping Pacific views of Qixingtan Beach. Small group, private vehicle, local expertise. This is Taroko done right.
