From walking nature trails to hiking in the remotest corners of Hong Kong, there are many rewarding options for family outings in Hong Kong. Very few visitors get to the the most pristine areas of Hong Kong, as access is often only available via walking trails, so by joining us you and your family can experience the best we have to offer. Our tours are educational too, as we share tales of local history and culture.
If you only have a short ime available, we can walk you through the back streets of Kowloon, and the central districts of Hong Kong Island, showing you historical sites, everyday life and a range of colourful markets. Children particularly enjoy the bird and gold fish markets.
Your family can join a scheduled tour with others, if the children are walking fit and aged 8 years and above. Or else we can tailor a tour to suit your needs, taking into account how much time you have and what would interest you most.
We use public transport in Hong Kong, and this is a great exerience in itself. We could use the famous Star Ferry, the Peak Tram, our efficient underground network, or one of the many double decker buses.
Please email us at walks@walkhongkong.com, and we will happly put together a walk, hike or Hong Kong tour for you.

Wong Nei Chung Gap to Stanley Walk A lovely shaded family walk through a woodland park .This
is a gentle and largely downhill walk starting from Wong Nei Chung Gap,
where the road from Central to the south side of the Island cuts
through the mountain range that makes up Hong Kong Island. It ends in
the popular village of Stanley on the southern coast of the Island
where there are many restaurants, bars and the famous Stanley Market.
The trail follows the western edge of the Tai Tam Country Park and
provides spectacular views over Deepwater Bay and Repulse Bay, looking
across the Lamma Channel to Lamma Island. The path is largely a contour
path, partly concrete, partly natural dirt. At Stanley there is a
Maritime Museum in the reconstructed Murray Building and Correctional
Services Museum and the old Stanley Cemetery dating from when British
troops were first stationed there in 1841. There are also Temples
dedicated to Tin Hau and Pak Tai, both local patron gods of seafarers
and fishermen. The walk ends in Stanley but we give you full
instructions on how to return to Central or Causeway Bay by bus.
Half day walking tour Total Walking Tour time 3 hours to Stanley Walking time approx. 2 hours
