Nestled within dense jungle on the breathtaking slopes of Tai Mo Shan Mountain, lie the Ng Tung Chai Waterfalls. A series of cascades spread over several kilometers, each waterfall is more dramatic than the last. Culminating in the spectacular 'Main Falls', Hong Kong's highest. Climb past rural villages and temples into another world, a steep sided world full of animals and fauna. Hidden within the dense vegetation you can uncover some truly stunning places. The city never felt so far away.

  • Wonderful waterfalls - many steps up!

    This was a great hike. I did this hike beginning of February. It was not crowded at all. It’s a pretty intense hike for people who are couch potatoes. The first half is all up- Many steps are very tall. But one gets to see four waterfalls. It is so worth it. Just be in shape to do the hike. I went with Tristan from the company “Wild hong Kong” . He is very friendly and the logistics and organization were very smooth. If I return to Hong Kong, I will definitely contact this company again for more activities as I understand. They also do many other hikes and kayaking adventures.

  • Best hike in Hong Kong, moderate to difficult at times

    Our hiking guide Tristan did a great job of informing us of all the centipedes, snakes, and plants on our trip. Lively hike and would recommend. Great fun, get your legs ready for a good workout.

  • strenuous but worth it

    Sneha was a delightful guide, very patient with us and explaining each part of the hike. It was steep and strenuous, but we took our time. However, her boss failed to tell us ahead of time where at the designated train station to meet her. We arrived 15 minutes early, didn't see anyone looking for us, so waited outside the station. Then spent the next 30 minutes searching around various exits from the station, even paying once to go back inside. Rory called our home phone, but that's useless for us here in Hong Kong. Once we finally connected with Sneha, all was well.

  • Beautiful Country Park and Waterfalls

    The hike at Tai Mo Shan was really good and would recommend it as a get away from the buzz HK city. Waterfalls were gorgeous and so was the forest itself. Because it was raining, we didn't get a chance to swim in the waterfalls. I would totally recommend it on a sunny day. Rory was great as a guide and had good knowledge of the surrounding area. He was friendly, easy to chat with while hiking.

  • Not easy, but worth it!

    It was December 23rd and my daughter and I found ourselves unexpectedly in Hong Kong for the weekend. It was good to get out of the city and into the New Territories and we had no problem meeting with our guide, Tristan, at the MTR station. Tristan was affable and the taxi out to Tai Mo was organised. It had started raining earlier in the morning and got heavier as the day progressed. It was nice for walking but the only problem was that it also got SLIPPERY. We were only wearing sneakers and I would recommend proper hiking shoes if you have them. This was not an easy hike. I had completed Dragon's Back the week before so perhaps I was overconfident. I'm a 48 year old Australian woman and probably about 10 kilos overweight, though fairly fit. I struggled, not because I got out of breath, but because on the very steep rocky ascent my leg muscles literally gave out, which gave me a bit of worry, as it was rugged terrain and I would think you would need to be airlifted out of there. My 16 year old daughter, who is slim and fit, later confessed to me that she was having the same worry. Now for the good bits - even in the mist, the waterfalls were spectacular, and so was the view towards Shenzhen! I also enjoyed the temple and all of the little shrines along the way. I would have liked to have learned more about the geology, biology and history of the area (when I had enough breath to talk). All in all, I would highly recommend doing this - just be aware that although the climb is arduous it doesn't last for that long and that the walk down again is lovely.
