Your journey begins at Sai Kung Public School, where you'll meet your knowledgeable guide and receive a brief introduction to the geological history of Hong Kong and the highlights of the tour. This sets the stage for an educational and thrilling adventure ahead.
① Shore of Thousand Columns
The first stop is the Shore of Thousand Columns on High Island, Sai Kung. Here, you'll witness the remnants of an 18km diameter ancient super volcano that erupted during the Jurassic Period, 160 million years ago. The sheer scale and beauty of these volcanic rock columns are awe-inspiring.
② Po Pin Chau - Organ Cliff
Next, you'll visit Po Pin Chau, home to the iconic Organ Cliff, a 300-meter-long wall cliff composed entirely of hexagonal volcanic rock columns. This natural wonder is a highlight of the tour, offering breathtaking views and a glimpse into the region's geological history.
③ Po Pin Chau - God Cut Strait
The tour then takes you to the God Cut Strait, a sea strait between Flower Mountain and Po Pin Chau. This strait was formed over millions of years as waves cut through the land, separating the islands. The dramatic scenery here is a testament to the relentless power of natural forces.
④ Wang Chau - Little Taiwan Cave
One of the four sea arches, Wang Chau, also known as Little Taiwan, is your next destination. This arch, resembling the shape of Taiwan, is a stunning example of the region's unique geological formations.
⑤ Wang Chau - Sea Palace
The Sea Palace at Wang Chau is another must-see, featuring a 300-meter-long wall cliff with hexagonal volcanic rock columns, though smaller in diameter compared to those at Organ Cliff.
⑥ Basalt Island - Guandao Cave
Basalt Island is home to the largest sea arch in Hong Kong, named Guandao due to its resemblance to the weapon of Guan Yu, a legendary general from the Three Kingdoms era. This massive arch is an impressive sight and a highlight of the tour.
⑦ Bluff Island - Tunnel Cave
On Bluff Island, you'll explore the Tunnel Cave, a 30-meter-long tunnel that stands out from the other arches due to its unique structure. This natural tunnel is a result of millions of years of erosion.
⑧ Jin Island - Bell Cave
The final stop is the Bell Cave on Jin Island, one of the four sea arches in the East China Sea. If wave conditions permit, you'll have the thrilling opportunity to ride the speedboat through this cave, an experience that will leave you in awe of nature's craftsmanship.
