Hong Kong | An Inflatable Boat, A Small Island, A Day.

If you have an inflatable boat, you can explore many different islands on the sea. 🏝️ If you don’t have an inflatable boat, you can rent a kayak 🛶 or a stand-up paddleboard to explore the islands. 🏝️ The ocean is one of nature’s most precious gifts to humanity, nurturing countless marine creatures 🐟🪼. On the sea, you can experience ever-changing weather, watch fish jumping around, and occasionally encounter jellyfish 🪼 (on the way to Pak Sha Chau). Onshore, you can keep company with crabs 🦀 (on the small island of Yeung Chau). (Of course, these little creatures are for observation only and should not be caught or played with.) 🏝️🏝️🏝️ This time, we paddled to two small islands: Yeung Chau and Pak Sha Chau. 🏝️🏝️🏝️ Yeung Chau is a small undeveloped island near Sai Kung’s Sha Ha. There are no ferries to the island, and it is home to animals like the black-headed gull. From Sai Kung’s Sha Ha Bay, it takes only 20–30 minutes to paddle to Yeung Chau. 🏝️🏝️🏝️ Pak Sha Chau has a naturally formed beach with a diameter of 200 meters and no facilities on the island. From the Ngong Ping Plateau, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the beach’s beauty. Although the sand on Pak Sha Chau looks white from afar, it’s not very fine and contains small shells 🐚. Wearing beach shoes is recommended to avoid injuring your feet. Paddling from Sai Kung takes about 1–1.5 hours. To reach Pak Sha Chau, you can start from two directions: 1. From Sai Kung’s Sha Ha, passing by Yeung Chau before heading to Pak Sha Chau. 🛶 If departing from Sai Kung, be cautious of the waves caused by passing boats after Yeung Chau. It’s best to avoid peak boat traffic times. 2. Paddle in the opposite direction from Kiu Tsui Island. This route is much faster and relatively safer, taking only about 30 minutes. 🏝️🏝️🏝️ The islands are sparsely populated, allowing you to quietly enjoy the sun and beach without worldly distractions. 🙈 🛶🛶🛶 Kayak Rental Prices: - Single Kayak (Weekdays): $150 - Double Kayak (Weekdays): $250 - Single Kayak (Weekends/Holidays): $200 - Double Kayak (Weekends/Holidays): $300 🌟🌟🌟 It’s best to have an experienced companion when kayaking.
