2025 Best Things to Do in Hong Kong! Rediscover Hong Kong World Wonder!
Forget the Crowds, Discover Real Hong Kong: You HAVE to See This!
Hey! So, you're planning a trip to Hong Kong? Awesome! I know everyone hits up the Peak, goes shopping, and maybe checks out Disneyland, but seriously, promise me you'll do something completely different. You absolutely HAVE to experience the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark. Trust me on this one.
Seriously, forget what you think you know about Hong Kong. Imagine this: towering cliffs, crystal-clear water, hidden sea caves, and the coolest rock formations you've ever seen. I'm talking about the kind of stuff you see in nature documentaries, but it's right here, just a short trip from the city.
So, why am I so obsessed?
-
It's Like Stepping Back in Time: These hexagonal rock columns? They're 140 million years old! It's insane to think about the forces that created this landscape. You’re literally walking through history. The acidic volcanic hexagonal rock columns can reach an average diameter of 1.2 meters.
-
The Views Are Unreal: Whether you're hiking along the coast or cruising on a boat, the scenery is mind-blowing. The geopark covers Sai Kung and part of the New Territories, near Plover Cove Reservoir. High Island is the most popular section of the park because it is very accessible.
-
Adventure Awaits: This isn't just a sightseeing trip; it's an experience. And with its diverse coastal landforms and variety of sedimentary rocks it is not just an experience; it is one that you will not forget.
So, how do you make it happen? Here's the inside scoop on things to do in Hong Kong within the Geopark:
-
Boat Tour: This is the easiest way to see a lot of the best spots. You'll cruise along the coastline, getting up close to those insane hexagonal columns. Some even take you through sea arches like the Little Taiwan Cave. Plus, there are great boat tours that take you through four sea arches in Sai Kung. ➜hongkonggeopark.com

Snorkeling Tour: Dive into the clear water surrounding the geopark and explore vibrant marine ecosystems.
-
Kayaking Tour: Join a kayak tour and paddle through hidden coves and sea caves. It's an amazing way to get a different perspective and explore at your own pace. Splitdyboat specialise running kayaking tours of the Hong Kong Geopark.

Island Hopping Tour: Explore the diverse landscapes and cultural attractions of the geopark’s many islands. Unique tour that only Splitdyboat offers.
-
Coasteering Tour: Another unique tour that currently in Hong Kong only Splitdyboat offers! You basically swim, climb, and scramble along the coastline. It’s a super adventurous way to see the park!
Seriously, ditch the usual tourist traps for a day and discover the real Hong Kong. It's an experience you won't forget, and you'll come home with stories and photos that everyone will be jealous of.
Now, getting to the geopark can be a bit tricky if you're not joining a guided tour or using a coach service. While public transport options exist, it is only for on land. they often require multiple transfers and can be time-consuming. If you're not familiar with navigating local transport or want to make it easier for yourself, I highly recommend booking a guided tour that includes transportation.
Trust me; the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark is one of the best things to do in Hong Kong. Go explore!
