      Here is an approximate overview of the bus travel time for each day of the 8-day Taiwan tour:

      • Day 1 (Arrival in Taipei): Airport to hotel transfer only (approx. 40–60 minutes).
      • Day 2 (Taipei City Tour): Short transfers within the city (total approx. 2–3 hours throughout the day).
      • Day 3 (Taipei → Sun Moon Lake): One of the longer journeys, approx. 4–5 hours with stops.
      • Day 4 (Sun Moon Lake → Tainan → Kaohsiung): Around 4–5 hours total travel time.
      • Day 5 (Kaohsiung → Kenting → Taitung): Scenic day with multiple stops, approx. 5–6 hours on the road.
      • Day 6 (East Coast → Hualien → Yilan): Road travel approx. 3–4 hours + scenic train ride (2–2.5 hours).

  • E

    Emily

    Asked on June 11th, 2026

    what is the difference between the 4 star and 5 star hotels? Can you give some examples please?

    Accommodation
    • Aborigen ToursOperator•Written June 2026

      the difference between 4-star and 5-star hotels is not necessarily very significant in terms of overall quality, as both offer a high level of comfort and services. However, 5-star hotels tend to stand out by providing a more exclusive experience, with a higher level of luxury and more personalized service.

      That said, 4-star hotels are an excellent option, as they offer very good quality, comfort, and a more convenient price–quality balance.

      For this reason, we generally recommend considering a 4-star hotel, especially if you are looking for a comfortable stay without significantly higher costs.

  • S

    Stuart

    Asked on May 12th, 2026

      The hotels are the followings:

      The Landis Taipei, Grand Victoria Hotel Taipei, Caesar Park Hotel Taipei, Caesar Metro Hotel or The Riviera Hotel Taipei

      In Soon Moon Lake: Fleur de Chine Hotel – Mountain View Room (5-star) / Le Méridien Taichung (5-star) / a similar

      Traveler•Written March 2026

      I plan to go sometime in mid December or early January. I am not looking for a personalized tour but rather, to join one of the regular group tours. I just need to know your December and January dates.

    • Aborigen ToursOperator•Written March 2026

      I apologize for any confusion. What I meant is that, until recently, the dates for December 2026 and January 2027 were not yet loaded into the platform, which is why they were not available for booking.

      As of today, we have successfully updated the system, and reservations can now be made for those dates.
