Serious kayaking or just taking a break from the city? Come join us for a full-day exploration around
Sharp Island with passionate and very local english-speaking guides! We will check out the beaches, unique rock formations and
hunt for underwater pineapple buns at the UNESCO Geopark.
Packed lunch included.
The whole trip requires kayaking of at least 9km. Sounds like a lot but don’t worry, we break it down into many bits!
Nevertheless, only teens 14+ are allowed.
Largely ignored, Sharp Island is a pristine environment, perfect to drop in on via kayaks. Feel the rush of adventure exploring the less trodden paths on this island. Just a short hike away with negligible elevation change, be rewarded by a superb 360 degree view of Sai Kung! Try to pick out Sai Kung town from the peak and watch the ants go about doing their business from your quiet, serene viewpoint. Oh.. not to forget, Sharp Island is home to one of the unique geoparks of Hong Kong!
