Step aboard Dukling, the only authentic Chinese junk boat still regularly operating in Hong Kong. Built in 1955, Dukling was a fishing boat, home to hardworking fishermen. In the 80s, it was transformed into a sightseeing cruise. Its original form is preserved despite once having sunk in 2014.

Sailing through changing tides, Dukling has witnessed Hong Kong’s transformation from a fishing harbor to a modern metropolis. Representing the stories of hardworking fishermen, Dukling is an important symbol of Hong Kong's cultural legacy.

Today, Dukling offers unique boat tours in the Victoria Harbour. Embark on a voyage through time on board by learning about the history of Dukling, the fishermen culture and the history of Hong Kong from the commentatory. Feel the breeze and enjoy the stunning views as the oldest Chinese junk cruises along both sides of the modern harbour.

If you are looking for something more than just sightseeing, this is the right boat tour for you.

    Boat was on time and staff was accommodating. The boat doesn’t travel far but you get a good look at most of the lights in the harbor.

    Be patient at the pick up point. There are other tours happening at the time. The excursion on the boat itself is amazing, a must do while in Hong Kong.
