Eco-Paddling Tour of Sharp Island’s Photo Hotspots

In Hong Kong, world-class nature is just a stone’s throw from the urban jungle.

Our Sharp Island tour is specially designed for photography enthusiasts and travel lovers seeking unique landscapes. Guided by our professional instructors, you’ll paddle by kayak or Stand-Up Paddleboard to photo spots inaccessible by land. Get your cameras ready—this journey will fill your social media feed with stunning volcanic wonders and pristine turquoise waters!

Capture 5 Photo Hotspots in One Trip

Our instructors will lead you to each prime photo location in sequence, ensuring you can safely capture every unforgettable moment:

• Sai Kung Sha Ha – The Colorful Kick-off:
  Our journey begins here, but the starting point itself is a photogenic scene. The calm bay, lined with vibrant kayaks and paddleboards, creates a lively composition. Capture your “ready-to-go” shot here to perfectly kick off this marine photography adventure.
• Long Mong Wan – The Serene, Secluded Cove:
  Before the main attractions, we’ll guide you through this little-known, tranquil bay. With its clear water and peaceful environment, it feels like your own private beach. This is the perfect chance to escape the crowds and capture the pure beauty of the untouched coastline.
• The Elephant Trunk Arch:
  Get an up-close view of this magnificent sea arch, sculpted by nature. Capture the dramatic shot of your vessel passing through—a perspective impossible to get from land.
• Half Moon Bay’s Crystal Waters:
  We’ll stop at the famous Half Moon Bay, known for its crescent shape and powder-soft sand. The stunning turquoise water provides the perfect backdrop for portraits and landscapes.
• The Vanishing Tombolo:
  At low tide, a natural sandbar emerges, connecting Sharp Island to a smaller islet. Stroll along this “path on the sea” and hunt for the famous “Pineapple Bun” rocks—unique geological formations that look good enough to eat!

This tour will take you far from the hustle and bustle to explore Hong Kong’s most pristine and spectacular coastal scenery. Spots are limited, so book your marine photography journey today!
