Feel the Rush & Excitement!

Leap off a cliff into churning whitewater. Swim upstream through a high-walled river canyon. Climb up into the face of a roaring waterfall and rappel back into the rapids below. Shoot down twisting natural slides into a perfect swimming hole and relax in the cool waters of a mountain stream. This is canyoning at its finest!

Following a tradition started centuries ago by Japanese warriors, canyoning in Taiwan (known locally as river tracing) is a popular pursuit that involves rappelling (abseiling), rock climbing, swimming, jumping and hiking. A cascading river is followed upstream through a beautiful mountain gorge for a wild and fun adventure! Technical sections are protected by safety equipment to minimize risk and safety gear is worn to protect participants.

Taiwan is recognized as having the best canyoning routes in Asia, with mountain streams cascading rapidly down steep valleys fed by tropical rains high in the island’s central mountain range. The cool waters and narrow canyons offer a refreshing, fun adventure and a great escape from the city. Some of our favorite canyoning routes finish at natural hot springs, offering a perfect conclusion to the day!
