Hong Kong is a city of wonderful contradictions and surprising sensory experiences. Home to some seven million Honkies (as they are affectionately known) the city is a bustling hub of commerce, shopping and culinary delights. Renowned as a business powerhouse, the underbelly of Hong Kong is as rich and diverse in ancient culture as it is in modern technology. A shopping mecca for many, Hong Kong will equally delight those travellers looking for a more natural experience, with almost 70% of Hong Kong classified as rural, the mountain hikes and secluded beaches dotting the island will more than satisfy anyone looking for an off the beaten track experience. Referred to some as the “New York of Asia” this wonderful city stands its own ground with arguably the world’s most dramatic jaw dropping skyline with a magnificent harbour and mountains to boot!

Measuring a tiny 1,100 square kilometres, Hong Kong comprises of the mighty Kowloon Peninsula (sometimes referred to as ‘the dark side’ by Hong Kong Island residents but more correctly referred to as the ‘real’ side by Kowloon residents), and 236 Islands, the largest being Lantau Island (where you will find the airport) and the second largest being Hong Kong Island (where you will find most of the suits).

Step outside the door and you are in a fashionista paradise within one the world’s most exclusive shopping districts. Luxury brand flagship stores abound and an unrivalled shopping experience at Harbour City awaits with the added bonus of knowing you can return to your hotel room within two minutes, drop your bags, freshen up and get back out there.

For those looking for more than fashion there is a host of Hong Kong’s most renowned sights close by. Just a two minute walk away is the legendary Star Ferry, this famed ferry runs a service between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island and offers a memorable boat trip across one of the most-photographed harbours in the world

A colourful kaleidoscope evolving constantly; Hong Kong Island is an intensely concentrated urban jungle sprinkled with glitters of the past colonial era and colourful ancient traditions. Ride through the urban landscape to the more relaxing southern shore; experience the magic and the essence of the Pearl of the Orient in half a day.

This half-day tour is a delightful smorgasbord of cultural and historical adventures.

Lantau, the largest outlying island is home to Hong Kong's most famous landmarks: Tsing Ma Bridge, Po Lin Monastery and sky rail.
