This is the slower Taiwan trip. One night out of Taipei in Jiaoxi, the hot spring town in Yilan, where the whole point is to sit in the water and do nothing. Around that you get Tamsui at the river mouth, the old streets at Dadaocheng and Ximending, the volcanic park at Yangmingshan, and the sky lanterns and waterfall at Shifen.
EVA Air flies you both ways out of Manila. BR262 leaves at 5:45 in the morning and lands at Taoyuan at 8:05, so Day 1 is a full day. Coming home, BR261 leaves at 8:30 at night and lands in Manila at 10:16. Two nights in Taipei at the 4 star HiONE Holiday Hotel or the New World, and one night in Jiaoxi at the 4 star Hotel Pin or the Gamalan Spring.
Three breakfasts, three lunches and the dinner in Jiaoxi are included. Two departures: 9 to 12 March 2027 at ₱42,185 per person, which is USD 649, and 9 to 12 April 2027 at ₱45,435, or USD 699.

The rate above covers what is listed under Price Includes. These are the costs that land on top of it. We would rather you saw the real number now than found it later.
Booking Information – Upon booking, please expect an email from us with your voucher, your reminders and what happens next.
Airfare – This package does not include your flights. Book your own, then tell us your arrival and departure times so we can set your transfers and your tour around them.
Hotel – Rooms are twin sharing. Standard check-in is 2PM and check out is 12NN unless the itinerary says otherwise. Early check-in and late check-out are subject to availability and fees. Children are arranged in the same room as their parents. If an extra room is needed, or for special requests, additional costs will apply.
Dates – The rate holds until 31 December 2026 and is not available over Christmas, New Year or public holidays. Rates are subject to change and all rooms are subject to availability.
Two departures. 9 to 12 March 2027 is ₱42,185 per person on twin sharing, which is USD 649. 9 to 12 April 2027 is ₱45,435, or USD 699. Choose your package in the booking box and the price follows.
You stay one night in Jiaoxi, the hot spring town in Yilan, at the 4 star Hotel Pin or the Gamalan Spring, both of which pipe the spring water into the rooms. Tangweigou Hot Spring Park is a public foot bath in the middle of town, free to use, and Jiaoxi Old Street is a few minutes away. Bring a swimsuit if you want to use a public pool rather than your own bath.
This tour does not include one. Philippine passport holders have been able to enter Taiwan without a visa under a scheme Taiwan keeps renewing, and there is also the free online travel authorisation certificate for those who qualify. The rules change, so check the current position with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Manila before you pay your balance.
Three breakfasts at the hotel, three lunches, and one dinner, the one in Jiaoxi on Day 2. Day 1 and Day 3 dinners are your own, and both of those evenings finish near street food, Ximending on the first night and Raohe on the third.
Not on this tour. Day 3 is a photo stop from the outside only and the observatory ticket is excluded.
A child from 2 to 9 years old without their own bed and without hotel breakfast is USD 50 less than the adult on both departures, about ₱3,250 off. From 10 years old Taiwanese rules require their own bed and they pay the adult rate. Tell us the ages when you book.
Yes, for a single supplement of ₱12,220, which is USD 188. Without it you are in a twin room with another traveller. Triple rooms are limited, and where one is not available we put two of you in a twin and one in a single, with the single supplement applying to that person.
No, and that is a legal limit rather than a preference. Taiwan caps a single coach driver at 10 hours of driving and 11 hours on duty in a day. Stretching or reordering the programme would push the driver over, so the guide will not do it.
The balance is due one month before departure. Tell us your departure when you book and we will confirm the deposit and when it is due. Seats go first come, first served.
