Exclusive Surf Tours in Taiwan South and East Coast!
Nestled between the Philippines and Japan, the mountainous island of Taiwan boasts dynamic, modern cities, stunning natural landscapes, and incredible waves!
Operating since 2008, Surf Taiwan offers some of the best surf tours in the country with different locations for you to surf the best region and waves based on the time of the year!
The Hotels
While the north of Taiwan is heavily populated, the south and east coasts retain a laid-back, countryside atmosphere. Surf Taiwan has 3 different locations in these areas. On the East Coast in the town of Taitung, there is Surf Taiwan’s main base, 25 min drive from the waves along a beautiful stretch of coast, and with a wide variety of restaurants, shops, and amenities at easy reach.
On the East Coast, you can also stay near the surf at the foot of the hills and a 1-minute drive from the ocean. Here, within a few minutes’ drive, there are a few restaurants, and villages with limited amenities/activities.
During March/April and July to October, Surf Taiwan recommends the South Coast, where the accommodation in Nanwan Beach is only 150m from the sand!
Waves at Surf Taiwan
The waves in Taiwan cater to surfers of all skill levels, whether you’re just starting out, are a seasoned pro, or somewhere in between. Taiwan offers a variety of river mouths, cobblestone beaches, beach breaks & points, and a pleasant water temperature going from 22C to 28C throughout the year.
The East Coast sees the best conditions from October to March. Storms developing near Japan travel across the North Pacific, generating west swells that reach Hawaii during its winter season. Taiwanโs East Coast, located within this broad swell window, benefits from a plentiful supply of groundswell during this time.
The South Coast works best in March-April and from July to October. The South-West Pacific Ocean is the most active region on Earth for tropical cyclones, with September being the pick month. Mid-April to mid-June is the least consistent time of the year for swell. There are usually still small clean waves, great for beginners!

All quality rooms on both coasts are equipped with air conditioning, cable TV, private bathrooms, free high-speed Wi-Fi, and refrigerators.
The Cuisine
A delicious daily breakfast is included in the surf package. For lunch and dinner, you can experience Taiwanโs local food with the guidance of the Surf Taiwan Team! The food scene is a culinary adventure that blends flavors from indigenous, Chinese, and Japanese influences. The island is famous for its night markets, where you can sample everything from savory oyster omelets and beef noodle soup to the infamous stinky tofu. Seafood is especially popular due to Taiwanโs coastal location, with fresh sashimi, grilled squid, shrimp, and more!
Taiwan also boasts a variety of restaurants, from traditional teahouses serving delicate dim sum to high-end establishments offering modern takes on classic dishes.
Activities
Taiwan offers plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. The scenery is breathtaking, with hot springs, temples, hidden creeks and secret waterholes, fresh sashimi at the harbor, and easy forest walking trails. Youโll also find bike paths, bustling night markets, the Monkey River on the East Coast, and a variety of quaint shops and restaurants serving delicious local cuisine!
Culture
Taiwanโs local culture is a rich blend of traditions, shaped by indigenous heritage, Chinese influence, and Japanese colonial history. The island is known for its deep-rooted respect for spirituality, with temples dedicated to various gods found in every corner. Festivals and ceremonies are celebrated with vibrant parades and rituals.
Get There
Airport transfers from Kaohsiung (KHH) are included in the package. Kaohsiung is easily accessible via Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Korea, and Kuala Lumpur. From Kaohsiung, itโs a 2-hour drive to the south and 3 hours to the east. Surf Taiwan can also pick up clients (groups of 2 people or more) from Taipei, however, this is a 6+ hour drive (depending on traffic).
