Taiwan is one of Asia’s most underrated surf destinations, an island of dramatic coastlines, consistent year-round swell, and a warm, welcoming culture that makes every surf trip feel like a true adventure. With a unique blend of tropical beaches, volcanic landscapes, and vibrant cities, this is a journey that goes far beyond the break. Whether you’re chasing clean point breaks, mellow beach rollers, or reef waves with bite, Taiwan offers something for every level of surfer.
Your trip begins in Taipei, a buzzing capital where tradition meets modernity. Explore centuries-old temples, herbal markets, and the world-famous National Palace Museum before heading to the top of Taipei 101 for breathtaking views across the city skyline. It’s the perfect cultural warm-up before your surf sessions begin.
From there, the road heads south to Kenting, Taiwan’s surf mecca on the tropical southern tip. This is where the real magic starts. With eight full days of surf guiding included, you’ll ride the best waves each day—tailored to the conditions and your ability. Whether you’re carving clean lines or just starting to trim, your local surf guide will find the perfect break and even paddle out with you. A private driver is also on hand daily, giving you the flexibility to chase waves along the coast or take a break and soak up Kenting’s beachy vibe and national park beauty.
Accommodation throughout is stylish yet relaxed… from a chic Taipei city hotel to a laid-back surf guesthouse just steps from the sea. You’ll also enjoy guided tours to Taiwan’s geological wonders like Yehliu Geopark, and step back in time wandering lantern-lit lanes in Jiufen, the village that inspired Spirited Away. End your trip with a visit to Shifen Waterfall, a serene finale before you head home salty, sun-kissed, and smiling.
Surfing Taiwan with Ocean Fever isn’t just about catching great waves-it’s about discovering a new rhythm of life in a place where ancient culture meets wild coastline. With personalised guiding, seamless logistics, and rich cultural moments, this is a surf adventure that stays with you long after the last wave.
