Tour Overview

Open for a limited time in winter! The most beautiful canyon section of the Wuba Highway (from Wujie to Bakulas in the upper reaches of the Zhuoshui River)

Bakulas Gear-Free Camping & Private Chef Picnic Tour >> Registration is now open .


Explore the secret canyon of Baculas in Nantou by kayak. Along the upper reaches of the Zhuoshui River, you'll pass the majestic towering canyon walls and tackle countless thrilling rapids! Baculas kayaking is only open in winter, when the water level drops. Led by a professional team of instructors, you'll also be provided with all the necessary kayaking equipment. Along the way, you'll encounter unusual rock formations, including dragon-veined stone and black gallstone. Perfect for nature lovers, you'll enjoy the breathtaking scenery of Baculas, Nantou!

After arriving at the meeting point, you'll collect your gear and change into your swimming gear. We'll then board an off-road vehicle and travel along a rugged, steep, and poorly maintained industrial road, crossing the mountains to the untamed shores of Baculas on the upper reaches of the Zhuoshui River (approximately 30 minutes). After practicing kayaking, we'll set sail! Journey through the heart of Taiwan, following the upper reaches of the Zhuoshui River, Taiwan's longest river, through spectacular canyons, towering cliffs, and countless hairpin bends and rapids (approximately 6 kilometers). This area is also a renowned source of minerals, including dragon vein stone and black gallstone. During rest stops along the way, pay close attention to the stones beneath your feet—you might find something unexpected!

After returning to the campground, hot water is provided for showers and light meals from a local restaurant are available for your energy needs.

- Attraction Introduction | Nantou Bakulas Canoe Experience -

▲ Bakulas
Bakulas is located in Xinyi Township, Nantou County, near the upper reaches of the Zhuoshui River. It is the former settlement of the Bunun Ka community. Its name means "a good place with flat riverbanks and abundant water." The village was relocated during the Japanese colonial period, leaving only the remains of the Bunun stone slab houses. Legend has it that merchants unearthed treasure buried by the Japanese army, leading to the legend of treasure hidden in Bakulas. In recent years, Mr. Song, captivated by the ecological environment, moved here to settle down, rebuilt the stone slab house ruins, and promoted local ecotourism.
