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.

It’s a short but very pleasant journey around Victoria Harbor. The guide gives an interesting historical and informative explanation of the area and the boat The Dunkling. It’s my second time doing this sunset tour and I’ll likely do it again. It’s a very relaxing no rush way to watch the sunset from a unique vantage about the beautiful, historical craft. Bonus points since it was the 70th anniversary of the boat. And since I was a repeat visitor, the crew gave me a nice thoughtful gift and a card for coming back. It was a thoughtful and very nice touch to the experience. Thank you Team Dunkling! I’m definitely a fan!

The crew were very friendly and there was even a live guide explaining some of what we were seeing (we were expecting it to be a recording). They offered a free drink and checked in with us often. The area is a bit chaotic at the meeting point, but the instructions are correct and they responded right away when I contacted them to let them know we were there.

A very enjoyable and comfortable ride through the harbor. It was a little difficult to locate the proper contact as there were a LOT of them on the dock.

Very enjoyable cruise around Victoria Harbor. Whole trip lasted 60 minutes. Try to schedule after dark to see the light show in the harbor.
