Detailed itinerary
1
Meet your guide at the Tung Chung MTR station on Lantau Island, located less than 15 minutes from Hong Kong International Airport — an ideal start and end point for anyone on a layover or with limited time in Hong Kong.
This year-round hike can be enjoyed in almost any weather conditions; summertime rewards you with multiple swimming opportunities in natural pools. Be prepared for a level of difficulty that is more than moderate, requiring agility and technical know-how as you traverse boulder-to-boulder and move around waterfalls.
Your guide will select from numerous routes possible on Lantau Island. Nearby Sunset Peak and Lantau Peak are among the finest mountains in Hong Kong to ascend; reigning supreme over the isle, they offer sweeping views.
