Railway Adventures operates a 15-day escorted train tour through Taiwan, starting in Taipei and traveling through eight destinations before concluding in Miaoli. An Australian tour leader named Graeme Hind joins each departure, supported by a local guide throughout the journey. The tour combines Taiwan's modern rail infrastructure with historic specialty trains: travellers ride the high-speed rail network, the Wulai Log Cart, and the Alishan Forest Railway, which climbs through forested mountain terrain. The route passes through Shifen, Hualien, Taroko Gorge, Kaohsiung, Tainan, Chiayi, Alishan, and Sun Moon Lake, incorporating Taiwan's coastal, mountain, and lake regions. This is a fully escorted experience suited to travellers who prefer guided logistics and a set itinerary, whether they are experiencing rail travel for the first time or adding a new country to their rail adventures. Departures are November 2026 and February 2027.
