Great Eats

The island’s unique cultural and geographic diversity means that mealtimes are always a culinary adventure in Taiwan. The Pacific's rich bounty gives ample opportunity to sample super-fresh seafood, which the Japanese influence has nurtured into a love for sushi. While on terra firma, the East Rift Valley is home to some of the island’s finest tropical fruit orchards producing dragonfruit, grapefruit, mangoes, oranges, papaya, pomelos and pineapples to name but a few.

In the cities, everything is available around the clock, but in remote areas meals typically consist of two or three meat and fish dishes, two or three vegetable dishes, plus staples of rice or noodles, with fruit to finish.

Beer is available almost everywhere, but good wine is more difficult to find. Most of your meals are included as listed in the day-by-day itinerary, and drinking water is always included with meals. Any soft or alcoholic drinks are not included and will be at your own expense.

Snacks & Water

Energy bars and local snacks are provided to keep your energy levels up for the riding, and clean water and electrolyte drinks are always available to keep you well hydrated.

Bonus Kit

A beautiful souvenir Grasshopper cycling jersey is yours to wear and take home, along with your complimentary reusable water bottle.
