Discover the cultural and natural beauty of Lantau Island on a luxury private afternoon tour from Hong Kong. Your experience begins with hotel pickup in a premium Toyota Alphard MPV, offering a comfortable and seamless journey away from the crowds.
Ride the famous Ngong Ping 360 Crystal Cabin cable car and enjoy spectacular glass-floor views over mountains, the South China Sea, and the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge.
Continue to the traditional fishing village of Tai O, home to Hong Kong’s iconic stilt houses. Join a hands-on workshop with local villagers to make traditional tofu pudding or sticky rice balls, then board a private boat ride through the waterways in search of rare Chinese White Dolphins.
End your afternoon at the historic Tai O Heritage Hotel, a beautifully restored colonial-era police station. Relax with an elegant afternoon tea while enjoying peaceful sunset views over the water before returning to your hotel by private transfer.

The normal waiting time is 2 hours. You will display a prepaid confirmation coupon to redeem a paper ticket at Group Entry. Usually less people line up here. Group Entry is a priviledge benefit for travel agents' customers only. It saves your time but you do not skip the line or break any rule.
When Ngong Ping Cable Car will be suspended to carry out bi-monthly regular scheduled maintenance, or closed due to severe weather warning, alternative coach transportation will be available during the cable car service suspension. This tour will be operated by coach transfer between Ngong Ping and Tung Chung.

Meeting point is hotel lobby or you will be advised of the nearest meeting place to meet with your guide. Please be waiting at the meeting place 10 minutes prior to departure.

We really enjoyed our tour of Lantau Island. We saw the Big Buddha, Monastery, and Fishing Village. Our tour guide Stephen was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We definitely recommend this tour

We’re told with booking private we didn’t have to walk the 284 steps to the Buddha. When we got there we were told that the ride to the top was a misprint. I was funneled to the private tour because it included being driven to the top.

1st Class from start to finish (except for the Vegetarian "feast" at the Buddhist Temple...) Our guide, Jacky Cheung, was excellent, didn't talk too much, but provided very knowledgeable info. when questioned. He even told us where to buy the USB fan he was using!! All in all a 1st Class day out. Would recommend him & his company to anyone. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

Ricky was incredible, extremely knowledgeable of Lantau and Hong Kong delighting us with his wisdom and thought provoking anecdotes! He was very friendly and even though it was a rainy day the tour was still amazing, he knew how to take advantage of the buildings and the big buddha was inspiring!
