Keelung Shore Excursion

A private shore excursion for cruise passengers docking at Keelung: Yehliu Geopark, Jiufen and a Taipei highlight, timed to your ship’s schedule with a guaranteed return to port. Your guide meets you at the terminal; no waiting for coach groups.

A port day is short, and the ship will not wait. A private excursion means your guide is at the terminal when you step off, your route is planned around your exact all-aboard time, and a stop is cut before the schedule is ever put at risk.

From Keelung the coast road leads to Yehliu, where wind and waves have carved the sandstone into mushroom-shaped hoodoos, including the famous Queen’s Head. Inland, Jiufen’s teahouses look out over the same sea you sailed in on.

If your ship stays longer, we add Taipei: the National Palace Museum or the view from Taipei 101.

Ideal for

  • Cruise passengers
  • Families
  • Limited mobility (adaptable route)
