Hong Kong Island

Hong Kong Island is the heart of the city. Most of the action is on the north coast of the island, a thin strip of land between sea and mountain, albeit one that has grown considerably through land reclamation. Especially when seen at night from the Kowloon side, the tightly packed skyscrapers offer a heart-stopping panorama.

Hong Kong Dolphin Watch 4 hours

The world's pinkest dolphins - pinker even than the Boto dolphins in the Amazon River - live within a few kilometers of the world's busiest shipping center and most densely populated urban area.

Chosen as the official mascot of the 1997 handover ceremony, the dolphins are threatened by pollution, over fishing and reclamation. This trip is designed to minimize disturbance to the dolphins, therefore these lovely creatures are comfortable with the vessel being used and sometimes come quite close.

96% of trips have successful sightings. If no dolphins are seen, passengers are entitled to go for free again on any scheduled cruise - subject to availability.
