Any subsequent activities will be part of your own itinerary.; ⚠️ Information on Purchasing Travel Insurance in Taiwan; Taiwan local one-day travel insurance is mandatory. Coverage applies only to vehicle accidents and any resulting injury or death that occur during the scheduled tour hours on the day of participation. (Loss of or damage to personal belongings is not covered.)

To arrange the insurance, you must provide the required information, including your name in English and Korean, passport number, and date of birth, no later than two business days before the participation date. If weekends or public holidays are included, the information must be provided at least three days in advance.

Insurance cannot be arranged on weekends, public holidays, or the day of the event.

If any required information is missing or not provided by the deadline, local Taiwan travel insurance cannot be arranged. Please note that the local Taiwan tour operator will not be responsible for any resulting disadvantages.

Claims for Taiwan local travel insurance must be filed based on the original medical certificate and hospital receipts issued after receiving treatment at a medical institution in Taiwan on the day of the accident. Whether benefits are paid will be determined following a review in accordance with Taiwan’s insurance regulations.

If you do not receive treatment at a medical institution in Taiwan on the day of the accident, you may not be able to file an insurance claim later. Please make sure to seek medical attention on the same day.

The time required for payment may vary depending on the insurer’s review process and generally takes at least three weeks.

Coverage under local Taiwan travel insurance may differ from that of overseas travel insurance purchased in Korea. We therefore recommend purchasing separate overseas travel insurance in Korea.; 🧳 Luggage Information; Each guest may bring one 26-inch suitcase and one small bag that can be placed on their lap.
If you plan to bring a suitcase, please contact us in advance.
Items exceeding the luggage compartment’s capacity cannot be loaded and are non-refundable.

Baby seats are not provided. Please bring your own if needed.

If you leave the tour early, the tour ends once final settlement with the Guide is complete. Any activities afterward will be at your own discretion.; 🙌 How much should I tip?; Since tipping isn’t customary for many of us, deciding whether and how much to give can be tricky.

Tipping is not required in Taiwan, but some guests choose to give the driver and Guide a small tip as a token of appreciation. If you enjoyed the tour, a customary tip of around 100–300 Taiwan dollars per travel party is appreciated.
