Stand amid the alien moonscape of Yehliu Geopark's wind-sculpted sandstone 'mushroom rocks' and Queen's Head formation, then sail the golden-hour waterfront of historic Tamsui — Taiwan's two most photogenic coastal icons in one elegant half-day.
What to expect
Departing Keelung port, your private driver heads 30 minutes up the rugged Northeast Coast to Yehliu, where millennia of sea erosion have carved sandstone into extraordinary organic forms. Your guide navigates the restricted inner zone where the Queen's Head and Fairy's Shoe await — dramatic formations most visitors photograph from afar. After Yehliu, the scenic coastal road leads 45 minutes to Tamsui's colonial waterfront: Fort San Domingo (1629), the Customs Officer's House, and the legendary 'a-gei' fish cake at old street vendors. Watch the sun dip behind the mountains over the Tamsui River estuary before your 30-minute return to port.
Good to know
Yehliu is just 30 min from Keelung port — the closest bucket-list site to the ship. Arrive at Yehliu before 09:30 to beat crowds. Tamsui Fort entry TWD 80. Easy half-day (4–5 hrs total); suitable for guests who prefer a lighter pace. Pre-book the private car to avoid taxi queues at port.
