Glass Water Island Day Trip

Take a 15-minute boat ride from Sai Kung Pier 🚤 Visit the tidal sandbar that only appears during low tide at Kiu Tsui Island 🏝️ Then hike for less than an hour to reach the other side, where the water quality at Hoi Ha Wan consistently ranks among the best ✨ Sai Kung Pier offers multiple boat operators to choose from. Simply pick one. Boat fare: Round trip to Kiu Tsui Island $30, round trip to Hoi Ha Wan $40. Disembark at the first stop, Kiu Tsui Island, to explore the tidal sandbar. On the day of our visit, there was a significant low tide, and the water was crystal clear. We spotted granite formations resembling pineapple buns 🔍 You can walk along the geological trail to the bridge. 💡 Be sure to check the low tide schedule before heading out. Refer to the Geopark website or the Observatory for details. Next, set off for Hoi Ha Wan. Follow the hiking trail along the beach to ascend the hill. The hike takes approximately 30 minutes to an hour. The route is straightforward and not too challenging, but it is extremely sunny ☀️ There are plenty of photo spots and art installations along the way. Hoi Ha Wan (also known as Sam Sing Wan) is bustling on weekends. The area is well-equipped with facilities like convenience stores and barbecue pits. If it's crowded, plan extra time for rinsing off. The water remains crystal clear, making it one of the top public beaches in terms of water quality 👍🏻 The last return boat departs at 6:30 PM. Simply find your chosen boat operator at the pier for the return trip. **If you prefer not to hike, you can choose to visit only one side and return directly. The beach at Kiu Tsui Island is also clean and sandy, and the boat fare is cheaper. It is equipped with public beach facilities.
