This was an overall excellent experience but one must be mindful of the following: Be cautious of excessive heat. Know that when hiking, most of the ground is not flat and there are many rocks to go through so be careful and take your time. Bring plenty of fluids, water and drinks that replenish electrolytes are highly suggested. In my opinion, the best time for this hike is fall or spring when the weather is easier. Tristan, our guide was extremely patient and took the time to ensure my safety. The views are astounding and this is a great activity to escape the bustling existence of Hong Kong. Overall, this activity is recommended but take into consideration this review so you are best prepared as possible. Tom

Hong Kong is huge. It’s crowded. It’s easy to get caught up in the lights, the shopping, and the amazing restaurants. But if you’re looking to see the city from a different angle and get some exercise, this tour is an absolute must. The guide (Rory) was very communicative. We met at the starting point and took a mini bus to the trailhead. The hike itself was a perfect mid level of difficulty with enough climb to break a serious sweat, but not so much that the average person couldn’t participate. Rory knew all the spots for great photos and perhaps the highlight for me was cooling off with a swim in the South China Sea. 10/10 experience. Thank you, Rory.

Although advertised as "beginner level" this is 10k but it was a great walk. Steep to get on the hill and then rolling up and downs with wonderful views over the coast. Then descent onto a beautiful sandy beach. Tristan is a great guide, knows plenty about the area and HK and its history, he clearly loves HK and this comes over in his conversation. I thoroughly recommend this trip (though maybe not in high summer!)

This was a very nice hike. It would be good for a beginner hiker. Definitely go with the guiding company “Wild Hong Kong”. Rory was my Guide. He is very friendly and nice and the logistics were very well organized and the communication was very good. It was a stress free Event. Rory grew up in Hong Kong, so can provide lots of knowledge and interesting facts. If I ever come back to Hong Kong I will definitely book tour with his company again.

Check out the weather before hand and have appropriate clothing and have some water with you. The stairs may be a bit steep for some, wear appropriate shoes.
