Step aboard Dukling, a truly unique experience unlike any other Hong Kong harbour tour. As the city’s oldest and only original Chinese junk boat, Dukling stands apart from modern replicas—authentically built in 1955 as a fishing vessel and lovingly restored to preserve her legacy after sinking in 2014.
Dukling offers the rare chance to sail on a living piece of history that has witnessed Hong Kong’s dramatic transformation over 70 years. On this small humble boat, guests can enjoy Hong Kong’s world-famous night scenery as the city lights sparkle across the skyline, all in a calm, intimate setting, unlike big, crowded cruises.
More than just a sightseeing trip, Dukling is also a floating museum. Discover original artefacts, historic photos, and fishermen’s tools, and delve into stories and culture through insightful commentary. Whether you crave authentic heritage, relaxation, or breathtaking views, Dukling promises an unforgettable journey through Hong Kong’s past and present.

5.00Incredible experience! We truly loved this tour. A great way to keep the memory of Hong Kong's history alive. The guide was very good as explaining and the tour was just long enouhg. We could bring the stroller on board without folding it. They provided us a drink and even had nice traditional Hong Kong fisherman hats on board to take pictures. The team was happy to help us take pictures and move around the boat to see the sights from different angles. Our 3.5 year old daughter was overjoyed! Overall a great experience.
Wonderful experience 🙌🏻

5.00Enjoyable ride in the Harbor. It was short but just the right amount of time. The one thing that could have improved this tour would have been a bit more info about HK. We sat outside , which was great, but hard to hear the audio. Overall it was fun.
Awesome trip
