Explore Sharp Island: A Blue Adventure of Snorkeling and Kayaking

Hidden in Sai Kung's Ngau Mei Hoi, Sharp Island is a gem of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark and an ideal summer destination for water adventures! Its Half Moon Bay is renowned for its "Grade 1 water quality," with crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkeling. Swim alongside vibrant schools of fish and navigate coral habitats with nearly 80% coverage, encountering surprises like sea urchins and starfish. Transparent Kayaking: Gliding Through an Underwater Gallery Hop into a transparent kayak and feel as if you're floating in mid-air, with colorful coral reefs and darting fish right beneath your feet. The calm waters around Sharp Island make it easy for beginners to paddle, while exploring the natural sandbar "Angel's Path"—a tidal sandbank that emerges during low tide. Walk past volcanic "pineapple bun rocks" and marvel at their fascinating geological patterns formed over millions of years. A Full Day of Dual Experiences: Sea and Land Adventures Spend your morning kayaking and your afternoon snorkeling, or try stand-up paddleboard yoga to stretch and relax amidst gentle waves. The island is well-equipped with facilities like changing rooms and rinse areas, but remember to bring your own fresh water and food supplies. Before heading back, climb Black Hill for a panoramic view of Ngau Mei Hoi bathed in sunset hues, ending your journey on a poetic note. Travel Tips Take a kaito ferry from Sai Kung Pier, and you'll reach Sharp Island in about 15 minutes. The ferry service is frequent and affordable. Be sure to check the tide schedule to catch "Angel's Path" at its best. Sharp Island, with its stunning landscapes and rich ecology, invites you to create your own summer blue chapter! Address: Sharp Island, Sai Kung, New Territories, Hong Kong Ferry Fare: Around HK$30 round trip from Sai Kung Pier Tips: Bring your own snorkeling gear, non-slip shoes, and plenty of drinking water.
