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.

    Mal. Without information they canceled the activity. We were proposed to go to the next one, but without knowing if there was Availability (in covers). Hopefully they can give us the money back.

    The staff were really friendly. Got to see the amazing Hong Kong skyline. Really good experience, even considered going back again.

    Unfortunately, this trip had to be cancelled. A thunderstorm and torrential rain, wind and lightening prevented the boat from sailing safely. I could see it coming into dock to let people disembark. The company did the right thing for safety of all. They were courteous and apologetic. I would rebook but this was the only night that we could go on the trip. Hopefully, I will return and try again.

    It's much nicer to take a small authentic boat trip than in a big, modern, crowded boat. It could be hugely improved by a guide pointing out various landmarks and some history - It could be considered a bit boring and souless. The harbour is iconic and world famous so the experience of being on the water is worthwhile. It's quite a short trip. Heads up, you are told there is no queue - there is. We didn't join it and ended up boarding last, even though we were the first there 40mins earlier!
