Sai Kung Coastal Adventure: Sai Wan, Ham Tin & Tai Wan Explorer

Join Hong Kong Hikers Club for an unforgettable journey through one of Hong Kong's most spectacular wilderness areas. This challenging coastal adventure takes us deep into the heart of Sai Kung East Country Park, where dramatic mountain scenery, secluded beaches, crystal-clear waters, and rugged trails combine to create an experience unlike any other in Hong Kong. SUBJECT TO WEATHER CONDITIONS Starting from Sai Wan Pavilion, we will descend towards the stunning coastline before exploring a series of remote beaches including Sai Wan, Ham Tin Wan, Tai Wan, and Tung Wan. Along the way, we'll pass through some of the most beautiful landscapes Hong Kong has to offer, featuring pristine beaches, rolling hills, remote countryside, and breathtaking ocean views. Unlike our shorter social hikes, this is a genuine outdoor adventure requiring preparation, endurance, and self-sufficiency, although we are a group and do watch out for each other. The route includes some climbs, although no big elevation changes, long walking sections, and a few opportunities to purchase food or refill water once we leave the starting area. Participants should arrive prepared to carry everything needed for the day although we can replenish things along the way. Maybe even an opportunity for a swim! As we make our way through this remarkable landscape, we'll experience a side of Hong Kong that few visitors ever discover before eventually finishing at Pak Tam Au, where transport connections will take us back towards the city.
