Description

Visit some of Lantau Island’s most well-known and intriguing spots all in one day on this 7-hour tour. Make your way by Ngong Ping cable car up to Big Buddha (Tian Tan Buddha), where you can choose to go up the 268 steps to the top. Head over to the village of Tai O to see a Taoist temple and two remaining shrimp sauce production factories. Stop for lunch, followed by a boat ride by the stilt houses built right on the water, before returning back to Tung Chung MTR Station.

    • Your Lantau Island private tour starts with a ride on the Ngong Ping Cable Car. 
    • See the most wonderful views of Lantau Country Park and the airport as we travel over the island's back for 25 minutes.
    • Reach the famous Big Buddha and learn about Buddhism, and climb the 268 steps to the Buddha.
    • Step inside the Po Lin Monastery and the hall of 10,000 Buddhas.
    • From Ngong Ping, take a 20-minute bus ride to Tai O, affectionately known as the Venice of Hong Kong. Tai O is one of the very few remaining places in Hong Kong where we can still see stilt houses over the water. Tai O used to be a fairly big community. Still, due to the decline of the fishing industry, it, like Venice, is now primarily a tourist destination for both overseas visitors and Hong Kongers escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. Tai O is still known for its traditional production of shrimp sauce and shrimp paste and its colourful seafood market.
    • Embark on a full exploration of Tai O visiting the beautifully restored Old Police Station, now operating as a heritage hotel. 
    • If you are feeling hungry, this is where we can enjoy lunch in a very nice lookout restaurant.
    • Visit one of the two remaining shrimp sauce production outlets, meander the back streets in and around the stilt houses, see a temple from the late 1400s, and learn about the religion of Taoism. 
    • If you have the energy, trek to a lookout point to get an excellent view of the 42km bridge that links Hong Kong and Macau.
    • For those that are less able to walk longer distances, you can spend some free time browsing the shops around the temple or taking a break in a coffee shop. 
    • Enjoy an enjoyable boat ride at Tai O through the stilt houses (included in your tour price).
    • Once we have finished at Tai O, take the public bus back to Tung Chung MTR station, where the tour finishes.

Know before you go
  • This tour does involve a lot of walking. At most, you can expect to walk about 12km. We can reduce the amount of walking involved, for example, by cutting out the walk to the lookout point for the Macau Bridge. 
  • You can have a coffee break or a look around the shops whilst the rest of the group continues. 
  • Please be aware that the most we can reduce it to will be about 8km, so you do need to have a reasonable level of fitness to take this tour.
  • We take in a maximum of 9 people on group tours to ensure an intimate and personal touring experience. This is a far cry from the coach tours of Lantau!
