An A-Z of Aquatic Adventures in HK

On The Water
The Aberdeen Boat Club

This has to be one of the most sociable clubs in Hong Kong. Facilities include two waterfront clubhouses in Aberdeen and Middle Island. 

Beach Days

The city is home to a surprising number of beaches. Whether you want to be with the “in crowd” at South Bay or travel further a field to a stunning spot in the New Territories, there are options aplenty.

Canoeing

Or kayaking, to be more precise. Adventure company Kayak and Hike conducts tours of the more out of reach and beautiful parts of Hong Kong’s coastline.

Diving

The Marine Park in the New Territories is closed to fishing so you can find an abundance of fish species, from clown fish to barracuda, and also coral. The South

China Diving Club organises training and guided dives throughout the year.

Environment

There is an increasing awareness in the community about the importance of protecting our natural resources. If you want to do your bit, log on to the Hong Kong International Coastal Clean-up Challenge website for details of annual events.

Fishing

There are 17 reservoirs in Hong Kong open to the public for fishing out of the breeding season every year. Permits are cheap and valid for three years; visit the website of the Water Supplies Department and click on “Application for Fishing Licence” for more information. 

Geopark

Ever-surprising Hong Kong has a myriad of interesting landforms. The Hong Kong Geopark, opened in November 2009, comprises eight major geological sites of international stature. Explore it by boat or, for the more adventurous, join a walking tour.
