A great way to see a unique part of Hong Kong - the UNESCO Global Geopark islands at Sai Kung

This is a day trip from Sai Kung (inner Shelter Bay) to Pak A, on the outer edge of Shelter Bay just before heading out into the South China Sea.

The trip starts from a beach in Sai Kung on the north eastern corner of Hong Kong. It's called Shelter Bay because of the protection created by the numerous islands dotted within the bay. Our sea kayak trip took us 16 klms, through these islands deep into the UNESCO Global Geopark.

We stopped at beautiful deserted remote beaches for a swim and to snorkel over coral reefs.

Lunch is included in the trip - as is drinks and snacks throughout the day. It's warm in Hong Kong, so we stopped every hour at a beach for a swim. It took us about 4 hours to paddle. the sea kayaks are fast, very stable and comfortable.

Hike to Po Pin Chau

This is a fairly non-strenuous hike which still offers some really nice views, the chance to gain some elevation and then cool off at a beach, and also learn some geology. Getting to High Island Reservoir East Dam starts from Sai Kung village. There are many ways to get to Sai Kung village, I took Public Light Bus 101M from the Hang Hau Station MTR stop (Purple Line).From Sai Kung take a taxi t...

Run Mt. Ma On Shan to Needle Hill

This run roughly follows Maclehose Trail Sections 4-7. You can take a bus or taxi to Sai Kung town in Hong Kong's New Territories, and start the ascent up to the peak of Ma On Shan. The start follows a paved, narrow row up the hill, and there is eventually a dirt path that breaks away once the road hits a dead end. This path will take you all the way up to the summit of Ma On Shan, elv. 702m. ...

Explore Tseung Kwan O's (將軍澳) Secret Beach

This beach may not have an official name, but some of the locals in the area call it "secret beach." The title is fitting. While not hard to reach, it is hard to find.Take the Hong Kong West Rail MTR line to the Tiu Keng Leng stop. Take exit A2 and come out at the intersection of Chui Ling Rd (翠嶺路) and King Ling Rd (景嶺路). Cross Chui Ling Rd and head to the steal-gated red brick walkway (it's op...

There is a small stream coming out from the forest, flowing in...

Take the MTR (subway) to the Tai Wo station in the New Territories. Take Exit A and head left, following the sings for the bus stops and head down the escalators.
