Fisherfolk Island Bike Tour + Boat Cruise

Cheung Chau is a quirky, car-free island and home to one of Hong Kong's few remaining fishing villages. This private half-day tour suits families, friends and anyone a little rusty on a bike, with an easy ride through the island's backstreets.

You'll meet your guide at Central Pier 5 and take the hour-long ferry together, enjoying panoramic harbour views on the way. On arrival you'll get to know your bike, then ride to Sai Wan, where a sampan (traditional boat) takes you on a cruise among the fishing boats moored in the typhoon shelter.

Back on land, you'll weave through narrow village lanes watching local life unfold, and visit the Pak Tai Temple, one of Hong Kong's oldest, to learn how fishing and folk religion are closely linked. The tour gives you your bearings on the island, leaving you set up for an afternoon of exploring at your own pace.
