Why take this trip?

Embark on a captivating dolphin watching journey with the Hong Kong DolphinWatch team as we set sail in search of the enchanting “pinkies” – the native Chinese pink dolphins that grace the waters of Hong Kong. Our adventure unfolds in North Lantau, where the merging currents of the South China Sea and Pearl River create the perfect feeding grounds for the small pod that remains.

Against the backdrop of significant development, including the Hong Kong International Airport and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge over the past thirty years, coupled with ongoing water contamination, the population of these beautiful creatures has witnessed a steady decline. Join us on this expedition, not only to witness the breathtaking spectacle of dolphin watching but also to play a vital role in ecological preservation. By sharing our passion for these magnificent creatures and raising awareness about their plight, our trip contributes to the continuous monitoring efforts and provides valuable insights to local researchers, aiming to safeguard their natural habitat.

What to Expect:

This immersive three to four-hour group excursion commences every Sunday from Tsim Sha Tsui, where we embark on a coach transfer to Tung Chung to board the DolphinWatch boat. Our journey includes a comprehensive introduction to the dolphins by an expert DolphinWatch guide. Alternatively, options to board directly at Tung Chung are available. Spend precious hours at sea observing these dolphins in their natural habitat before returning to Tung Chung for a scenic bus ride back to Tsim Sha Tsui. Immerse yourself in the magic of dolphin watching while actively contributing to the conservation of these extraordinary marine beings.

Shore Excursions

While your ship is in port, make the most of your visit by taking a private car shore excursion around Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula with your very own driver guide. We take all the stress out of your visit with our door-to-door service, collecting you from and returning you to your cruise ship terminal.

As well as offering comfort and convenience, we are one of the few tour companies licensed to access the restricted access zone of Lantau Island by car. Our knowledgeable and friendly guides all speak excellent English and will ensure you make the most of your time in Hong Kong.

We have a number of shore excursion car itineraries. The first is a classic Hong Kong Highlights tour taking in several better-known destinations. We often recommend this to first time visitors as it takes in many of Hong Kong’s best known and most iconic spots.

However, if you would prefer to go further off the beaten track to see another side of Hong Kong, we would recommend our Explore the New Territories tour. There are plenty of fascinating spots that are difficult to access by public transport and also tend to be a little less crowded.

Listed below are some of the options we could include in your itinerary depending on your interests and time constraints. Your itinerary is completely flexible and can be tailored to suit your needs. If you have a destination in mind that is not listed, please enquire and we will accommodate your request if possible.
