About this experience

Hong Kong has some superb hiking trails. The longest and best-known hiking trail of Hong Kong is the 100km MacLehose trail.
Taking in part of the famous MacLehose hiking trail, the guided hike takes you out to the tip of the Sai Kung peninsula, past white sandy beaches and clear blue waters, hiking through the remote villages of Sai Wan and Ham Tin in the Sai Kung Country Park. Locally the area is known as Tai Long Wan, or big wave bay, and is a popular surfers destination.
The hike takes you along coastline backed by lush tropical vegetation and forested ridges offering spectacular mountain and coastal sea views. Following a network of paved paths, often on inter-village routes, you will pass fascinating old Hakka clan villages.
The Deserted Beaches Hike offers a unique insight into the homes, lands and beaches these villagers left behind. Although just 20km from Kowloon, this tour will make you feel a world away. Access is restricted to walking or boat.
