Why Bamboo Trails?

Custom-made private trips and less destinations per tour mean more time in each place, more interactionwith local people and more insight into the communities and environments we encounter. We explore on foot and by bike, stopping to experience the intricacies of life invisble to vehicles. Bamboo Trails offers roads less traveled, for those who want more from their journeys ....

We have lived in Taiwan since 2003 and established Bamboo Trails in 2010. Whilst we specialize in tours to this tiny glistening jewel in the Pacific, prior to moving to Taiwan we were based all over Asia from India to the Philippines and continue to craft unique adventures in these amazing and diverse destinations. Having lived, led tours and written guidebooks to all of the countries where we operate, we have in-depth first hand knowledge of our destinations, and this is what sets us apart from the field, something which becomes obvious from the first point of contact through to the end of your trip and beyond.

We are probably best known for our custom journeys and cycling tours which present new opportunities to explore at every turn. But whether you join us to ride, hike, paddle or sightsee, as well as taking in the undisputed highlights of a country, our tours are peppered with off-the-beaten track destinations and experiences, ranging from overnight stays at monasteries and aquariums to traditional tofu-making classes.
