HONG KONG SHORE EXCURSION: HARBOUR, MID-LEVELS ESCALATOR & ABERDEEN SAMPAN

This is the day we did with a group of 36 in 2026. It is a walking day as much as a bus day, and it shows more of how people live in Hong Kong than the usual quick photo stops.

The route

• Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, for the view across Victoria Harbour to the towers of Hong Kong Island.
• Across to Central and up the Central–Mid-Levels escalator, a chain of outdoor moving stairs that carries people up the hill through the old streets. Note it only runs uphill for most of the day; we walk back down.
• PMQ, the old police married quarters, now small design shops and cafes.
• Drive to Aberdeen on the south side for a sampan ride past the fishing boats.

Our 2026 group also asked to visit a temple, and we fitted it in. If there is a place you want to see, tell us. Wear good walking shoes; Hong Kong is hilly.

How these shore excursions work

• Private tour for your group only, from a few people in a van up to a full coach.
• An English-speaking local guide meets you at the cruise terminal (or at the tender pier if your ship anchors).
• We plan the day around your ship's times and bring you back well before all-aboard.
• Send us your ship name, port date and docking hours, and we fit the route to them.

Included

• English-speaking local guide
• Private vehicle with driver
• Entrance tickets and boat rides in the route you choose

Not included

• Lunch and drinks, unless we agree on a lunch stop in the price
• Tips for the guide and driver

Price

The price per person depends on your group size and the route. Tell us your ship, date and number of people and we will send a plan and a price.
