    This tour is a must to do mainly because of the cable car and the great views you get. Lunch was ok - vegetarian only but lots of choices to choose from. We quickly ate and looked around the site of the big Buddha as time was very precious. On the boat ride we actually saw several pink dolphin - a wonderful sight to see. I was actually surprised to see the waterways clean and free of rubbish - wonderful! This tour is great for couples or families alike.

    My daughter and I had a great time visiting Lantau Island. The free time was short but still manage to do some shopping. The Tai O boat was rewarding. We saw Hong Kong’s pink dolphin. What a sight. Toby was attentive and polite. Use Viator when I was in Paris. You haven’t disappointed me yet.

  • Great day tour away from the busy city
