— Itinerary Introduction —

• The world's largest volcanic rock hexagonal columnar group - Hong Kong Global Geopark

Hailed as the most beautiful speedboat tour in the world, Hong Kong Geopark - home to the world's largest collection of hexagonal volcanic rock columns, has thrilled millions of people since it began in 2009, and now it's your turn!

The Sai Kung area of ​​Hong Kong is home to the world's largest collection of volcanic hexagonal columns. These spectacular natural wonders were formed by a supervolcanic eruption 140 million years ago and cover an area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers. These hexagonal rock pillars not only display unique geological features, but also attract countless tourists and geologists to explore. Located within the Hong Kong UNESCO World Geopark, these rock pillars can reach a height of up to 100 meters and have an average diameter of 1.2 meters, making them natural works of art. While riding on a speedboat and listening to the guide's explanation, visitors can easily observe these rock pillars up close and learn about their formation process and the surrounding ecological environment. This is undoubtedly an unforgettable sightseeing experience.

• Four famous caves in Sai Kung Tung Hoi - Hong Kong Global Geopark
  

The four famous caves are located in Diaozhong Island, Shatangkou, Huoshi Island and Hengzhou. These spectacular natural wonders are located in the Sai Kung Volcanic Rock Area, part of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark. In addition to the stunning sea arches, you will also see many huge hexagonal rock pillars along the sightseeing tour, especially in the area around Leung Chuen Wan, which was named the "Ten Thousand Pillars Coast" by the Hong Kong Hiking Team. Surprisingly, few people know that these hexagonal volcanic columns in Hong Kong are actually the largest in the world.

• Speedboat through the highlights of the four famous caves

Due to the small size of the speedboat, as well as its maneuverability, flexibility, elasticity, speed, coupled with our boatman's excellent boat driving skills and experience, participants can enjoy an exciting and safe speedboat sightseeing experience. If wind and wave conditions permit, our speedboat can pass through one or more of these sea arches.

• Knowledgeable guide explains the history of Hong Kong's supervolcano
  

The meeting point is at Sai Kung Public School. You can meet our tour guide at the school 15 minutes before the activity. After the activity starts, there will be a 20-minute explanation at the school to learn about the history of the super volcano near Sai Kung 140 million years ago in Hong Kong and why Hong Kong has the largest hexagonal columnar volcanic rock!

• Liangchuan Bay - Wanzhu Coast

The first stop of the speedboat journey will be Leung Shuen Wan, where the hexagonal volcanic rock pillars are the largest in Hong Kong and even in the world, hence the name "Ten Thousand Pillars Coast".

• Po Pin Chau - Organ Wall
  

The second stop of the speedboat journey will be Po Pin Chau, where the hexagonal volcanic rock columns resemble a musical instrument, hence the name Organ Wall. [Po Pin Chau is located on the Sai Kung Volcanic Rock Park Map (7)]

• Pobianzhou - Shenxue Gorge
  

After viewing the Organ Wall, our boatman will try to take you through the strait between Huashan and Pobianzhou, called Shenxue Gorge. The name of Shenxue Gorge comes from the extremely neat cuts on the cliffs on both sides of the strait, which makes it hard to believe that the strait was formed naturally. The first hiker who named it Shenxue Gorge believed that only God knew the answer. [Po Pin Chau is located on the Sai Kung Volcanic Rock Park Map (7)]

• Hengzhou - Hengzhou Corner Cave (One of the Four Famous Caves in the East China Sea)
  

Hengzhou Cape Cave is a 30-meter-high sea arch with magnificent hexagonal columns next to it. [Weng Chau is located on the Sai Kung Volcanic Rock Park Map (6)]

• Wang Chau - Candle Cave
  

In addition to the Hengzhou Cape Cave, there is also a small sea cave next to it, called the Candle Cave. The Candle Cave is actually a sea tunnel that runs through the coasts of the north and south of Heng Chau and is swimmable. [Weng Chau is located on the Sai Kung Volcanic Rock Park Map (6)]

• Hengzhou - Palace on the Sea
  

In Hengzhou, you can find some huge hexagonal columns (basalt columns) with a height of nearly 70 meters. The Sea Palace in Hengzhou is the most stunning attraction. The hexagonal columns (basalt columns) here are arranged in an orderly manner. We can only sigh at the greatness and wonder of nature.

• Huoshizhou - Guandao Cave/Lanwanjiao Cave (Four Famous Caves in the East China Sea)
  

The Guan Dao Cave/Lan Wan Kok Cave in Huoshi Island is a 45-meter-high sea arch, which was formed mainly due to long-term erosion by waves and weathering.

• Shatangkou-Shatangkou Cave (Four Famous Caves in the East China Sea)
  

Shatangkou Cave is a sea arch about 25 meters high, with another sea cave just above it.

• Diaozhong Island - Diaozhong Cave / Diaozhong Arch / Goldfish Tail (Four Famous Caves in the East China Sea)
  

The Bell Cave or Bell Arch has always been a favorite of passengers because our experienced speedboat boatman will take you on a speedboat through this sea erosion arch to observe this sea erosion landform at a very close distance. The Bell Arch is about 30 meters high.

- Safety Instructions -

1. All boat operators paired with the boat platform have legal operating licenses issued by the Maritime Department and have purchased third-party liability insurance. However, the safety of personal and property safety during personal activities is the responsibility of the customer.

2. Tours and other activities on the island are risky. Guests are advised to pay attention to the Hong Kong Observatory's tidal schedule, wind force level, temperature and other information before departure, make advance plans, and remember to put safety first

3. About wind speed:

- The Observatory continues to use the Beaufort wind scale, which divides wind force into 13 levels, with level 0 representing no wind and calm seas, suitable for the use of inflatable boats. In addition, the Observatory and news reports do not usually use wind force levels to express wind speed. They usually describe wind speed with words such as light to moderate, moderate to light, and light to strong.

- Mild means wind force 1-2, calm sea, light wind, average wind speed 4-6 knots.

- Moderate means wind force 3-4, with few waves on the sea, white cap waves may be seen, and the average wind speed is 13-16 knots.

- Strong wind refers to wind force 6-7, with white-capped waves on the sea surface, an average wind speed of 22-33 knots, and wind force equivalent to No. 3 wind signal.

- Generally, water activities can be carried out when the wind speed is below level 3-4, but please note that relevant water activities experience and skills are required to carry out the activities when the wind speed is moderate. When the wind reaches light or strong levels, water activities should be cancelled.

4. If the Hong Kong Observatory issues a Typhoon Signal No. 1 or above, a Red or Black Rainstorm Warning, or an East Wind of Level 3 to 4 or above two hours before departure, the tour will be cancelled and you may reschedule your tour or request a full refund.

5. If the Hong Kong Observatory issues a Typhoon Signal No. 1 or above, a Red or Black Rainstorm Warning, or extreme weather conditions occur during the trip, the boat operator will return to the pier for safety reasons and the trip will be deemed complete. No rescheduling or refund will be offered.
