If you’re looking for some paddle-powered escapades on your holiday, then kayaking at the
Hong Kong Geopark is not to be missed!
Before You Begin
Find central accommodation be it a boutique or budget hotel in Hong Kong; those needing to quarantine can consider designated quarantine hotels like Dorsett Mongkok that come under the “Anti-Epidemic Hygiene Measures Certification Scheme”.
Where to Go
Head to the Sai Kung Country Park. Apart from driving or taking a taxi to Sai Kung, you can easily get here by bus; options include the Green Minibus #1A from the Choi Hung MTR Station or the Red Minibus from Dundas Street (Gala Place) in Mongkok.
What to Expect
The Sai Kung Country Park offers kayaking at Hong Kong Geopark with its unspoiled beaches, intriguing rock formations and enchanting islands. Tours can last for around eight hours in total and the difficulty levels vary, depending on the area; the best period for kayaking here is from March to October.
Kayaking at Hoi Ha
For relatively easy kayaking, head to Hoi Ha; those not part of a tour, can rent kayaks and the needed equipment by the waterfront. The tranquil waters of Hoi Ha are set amidst picturesque shorelines, coral beds and sea life and if you kayak further out, you can take in stunning views of Sharp Peak too.
Kayaking at Pak Lap Wan
Pak Lap Wan is ideal for those looking for more challenging kayaking at the Hong Kong Geopark. Kayaks and camping equipment can be rented at the beach; you can look forward to kayaking in the open waters making your way past impressive cliffs, remarkable sea arches and unspoiled beaches like that of Long Ke.
