You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car.

You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.

Both islands are reached by short ferry or light aircraft from Taitung, making the city the essential staging point for visits to either. Green Island is known for its coral reefs, coastal cycling routes, and ocean hot springs â a rare geothermal spring that emerges directly at the shoreline. Orchid Island is more remote, home to the Tao people and their distinctive canoe-building tradition, with an atmosphere that feels deliberately unhurried. If your itinerary includes either island, overnighting in Taitung and using a private transfer to reach the port or airport on your timeline removes one of the main logistical pressure points of the journey.
From Hualien, Taitung is approximately 160 km (99 miles) south along the coast and typically takes around 2 to 2.5 hours by private transfer. From Taipei the distance is roughly 360 km (224 miles), with transfer times of approximately 4 to 5 hours depending on the route. The coastal road between Hualien and Taitung â passing the Xiaoyeliu rock formations and Sanxiantai â is widely considered one of the most scenic drives in Taiwan, making the journey itself a meaningful part of the day.
Taitung County has the highest concentration of Indigenous peoples in Taiwan, representing multiple distinct groups with their own languages, ceremonies, and food traditions. The Amis harvest festival and the Puyuma's Mangayaw are among the most significant cultural events in Taiwan's calendar. Outside of festival seasons, the Beinan Cultural Park sits at the site of one of Asia's largest prehistoric settlements and offers context for the region's deep history. Local markets â particularly the Zhonghua Night Market â are a practical entry point where Indigenous ingredients and dishes appear alongside broader Taiwanese food culture. A knowledgeable local driver can be a meaningful asset here, pointing out community-run venues and sites that don't appear in standard tourist guides.
Taitung sits on Taiwan's east coast where the Central Mountain Range meets the Pacific, and the landscape reflects that collision: dramatic coastal cliffs, wide rice plains, volcanic islands on the horizon, and a concentration of Indigenous Taiwanese culture found almost nowhere else on the island. It is home to the Amis, Puyuma, Bunun, and Rukai peoples, whose traditions, festivals, and food remain genuinely present here rather than packaged for tourists. Add the rice fields of Brown Avenue, geothermal hot springs at Zhiben, and proximity to Green Island and Orchid Island, and Taitung rewards visitors who want something more layered than a standard Taiwan itinerary.

So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
The combination of Brown Avenue and Chishang Township to the north offers some of Taiwan's most iconic rural scenery â a long straight road flanked by rice paddies and framed by mountains. Closer to town, the Xiaoyeliu Scenic Area features eroded sandstone formations along the coast that contrast sharply with the beaches further south. Zhiben Hot Springs provides a natural wind-down option in the late afternoon. If your interests lean toward culture, the National Museum of Prehistory covers the rich archaeological and Indigenous heritage of eastern Taiwan in a way that is genuinely engaging rather than purely academic.
