The experience
The yacht leaves for Sai Kung and moves through the bell cave, a sea arch carved into a sea stack on Jin Island within the UNESCO Global Geopark. A professional licensed coach meets you onboard, checks your snorkeling gear, and leads a guided session at Kau Sai Wan Beach with a life jacket and mask provided in all sizes. The water is shallow enough for all ages and fitness levels, and after rainy days a natural stream at the back of the beach fills a seasonal infinity pool that sits above the sea: a rare spot for photos.
The second half of the day moves to Sharp Island's hidden inner bay, a sheltered cove behind the main island where the water stays calm. Here you switch to water toys: kayaking and paddleboarding for about two hours in a space designed for both beginners and people who have done it before. Lunch, snacks and drinks arrive onboard between stops, and the yacht carries everything you need to stay comfortable on the water.
Is this one for you?The guide speaks English and Chinese, so you can follow the commentary and safety instructions in whichever language works for you. A full day on the water with multiple stops suits travelers who want to snorkel, paddle and eat without returning to shore between activities.
