How to get the boat to Tai Long Wan, Sai Kung’s beautiful beaches – phone numbers, directions and hiking Sharp Peak
- A speed boat trip around Hong Kong’s geopark is a stunning and convenient way to get to Ham Tin, Sai Wan or Tai Wan
- You can WhatsApp boat providers to book a spot and take you there and back
Tai Long Wan is a stunning bay in Sai Kung with three incredible beaches – Ham Tin, Tai Wan and Sai Wan. Part of their appeal is their seclusion, which can make hiking there tough, especially if you want to add on Sharp Peak.
But there are boat services you can use, which speed past the dramatic protected Unesco geopark, with its towering hexagonal basalt cliffs. It is worth the trip alone.
The Boat
You can get the boat at Sai Kung Pier, just down to the right of the main pier. The boats do not run in all conditions, and on sunny days they fill up quickly. If you want to confirm a spot, then call or WhatsApp ahead on one of these numbers: +852 9616 6182 (Cheung Kei) or +852 6330 6039 (Frankie).
Typically, it is between HK$150 to HK$200 per person each way. You can also hike to the beach and just get the boat back to save yourself time and money.
