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.
