How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

I'm super excited to share this incredible half-day experience in Hong Kong with you. It's packed with lush green spaces, stunning views, and fascinating local spots. You’re in for a treat, and with a talented local host guiding you, you'll get the inside scoop on all the best places. Let’s dive into the adventure!

Your journey begins at the beautiful Hong Kong Park. This place is a green oasis in the middle of the bustling city, and it’s one of my favorite spots to escape the urban chaos. Picture yourself strolling through lush gardens, tranquil ponds, and scenic walkways. The sound of waterfalls and chirping birds creates such a relaxing atmosphere.

Keep an eye out for the park’s stunning water features and sculptures. They add a unique artistic touch to the natural beauty. I love how the park blends nature and art so seamlessly. It’s a great place to start our day with a breath of fresh air.

Within Hong Kong Park, you’ll visit the Forsgate Conservatory. This conservatory is like stepping into a botanical wonderland. It’s home to an impressive collection of exotic plants and flowers from all over the world. Your host will share interesting facts about the different species and the conservatory’s design.

The orchid collection is particularly mesmerizing. The vibrant colors and intricate shapes are a photographer’s dream. I could spend hours here just admiring the beauty and diversity of the plant life.

Next, you’ll head over to the Edward Youde Aviary, also within Hong Kong Park. This place is an absolute gem. It’s a massive walk-through aviary that houses over 600 birds from 80 different species. Walking through the aviary feels like being in a tropical rainforest, with birds flying freely all around you.

Bring your camera and be ready to capture some amazing bird sightings. The aviary’s design allows you to get up close to the birds without disturbing them. I always find it magical to watch the birds in such a natural setting. Don’t miss the colorful parrots and the cheeky mynah birds – they’re real characters!

After soaking in the tranquility of the park, it’s time for some breathtaking views at The Peak. Your host will guide you to the Peak Tram, an iconic funicular railway that takes you up to one of the highest points in Hong Kong. The ride itself is a thrill, and the views from the top are simply spectacular.

Head to the Sky Terrace 428 for the best panoramic views of the city and Victoria Harbor. It’s the perfect spot for those postcard-worthy photos. I love coming here at different times of the day – the city looks magical whether it’s bathed in morning light or twinkling at night.

Next, you’ll make your way to the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens. This place is one of the oldest zoological and botanical centers in the world, and it’s right in the heart of the city. It’s divided into two parts: the zoological section with a variety of animals and the botanical section with beautiful gardens and rare plants.

Don’t miss the flamingos – their bright pink feathers are a standout. The gardens are also home to some interesting sculptures and fountains that add to the charm. I love the peaceful vibe here, and it’s a great spot to learn more about the region’s flora and fauna.

After exploring the gardens, you’ll visit the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. This stunning cathedral is an architectural marvel and a significant historical site in Hong Kong. The Gothic-style building with its tall spires and intricate stained-glass windows is absolutely breathtaking.

Take a moment to step inside and admire the beautiful interior. The peaceful atmosphere and the stunning art and architecture make it a perfect place for some quiet reflection. I love the sense of history and serenity that envelops you as soon as you walk in.

Finally, you’ll end your adventure with a visit to the famous Dried Seafood and Tonic Food Streets. This area is a sensory explosion with its bustling markets and the distinctive aroma of dried seafood. It’s a fascinating glimpse into local culture and traditional Chinese medicine.

Ask your host about the different types of dried seafood and their uses in cooking and medicine. It’s really interesting to learn about these traditional practices. I love the vibrant energy of the market and the colorful displays of seafood and herbs. It’s a unique shopping experience you won’t find anywhere else.

This experience is a perfect mix of nature, culture, and local insights. With your host’s engaging stories and expert guidance, you’ll get a true taste of Hong Kong’s unique charm.

Our guide was a transplanted Norwegian. Her English was wonderful, as was her knowledge of the places to visit. She customized the tour to our needs. We can’t eat like we did when we were in our 20s but still wanted to try everything (so we split things as required). Of particular note was the wonton soup in fish broth (very light).

We had Dennis take us through the city and he was amazing. Speaks perfect English, is very knowledgeable about the the city. Took us to great places for food. And generally had a very relaxed friendly vibe. Given the chance I'd recommend you ask for him.
