Then it is down to Aberdeen to see the floating restaurants and around the beautiful coastal areas of Deep Water Bay, Repulse Bay and Stanley. This tour includes unlimited soft drinks, beer, wine and snacks.The story of Hong Kong and how it turned from a sleepy fishing village to a super city is firmly rooted in the sea. It’s a story about the West’s trade with the Far East, Britain’s addiction to tea and the scourage of opium addiction!
Setting off from Causeway Bay at 9am, you start with a full Victoria Harbour tour where your tour guide will talk about the development of Hong Kong’s iconic skyline from the 1800s through to present day. Then it is up to the container port! Hong Kong’s container port is a super hub, it is the world’s 5th busiest port and has been the driving force behind Hong Kong’s economic development. No other tour grants you access to this truly fascinating part of the city. This is your chance to get up close to some of the world’s biggest super ships and watch the cargo being loaded and unloaded whilst learning about the growth and development of trade in the region.
From the container port, you will head south down and around the western coast of Hong Kong island to Aberdeen Harbour. You will discuss Britain’s predominance in maritime practices and how the opium trade led to the British colonisation of Hong Kong.
The cruise slowly past the floating seafood restaurants and floating village where the Tanka people (or Boat People) still live on the water in old traditional junk boats. Fishermen by trade, the Tanka people were, from the earliest days of the West’s arrival in Hong Kong, the trusty allies of foreigners, supplying British men-of war and troopships with supplies and prostitution services.
From Aberdeen Harbour, you will carry on cruising around the south coast going past Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay. You will talk about the price of real estate, Hong Kong’s rich and famous and the most ill-omened house in Hong Kong.
From Repulse Bay it’s a short hop around to Stanley or Bandits Post where you will discuss two of Hong Kong’s most infamous pirates.
Stanley is where your boat tour ends. It is a beautiful coastal market town and one of Hong Kong’s most popular tourist attractions.
