The new route will take passengers from Sai Kung, Kau Sai Village, Leung Shuen Wan, and Pak A to High Island
A new ferry route linking Sai Kung with High Island has just opened. Previously, visitors could only get to High Island via private boat, green minibus or taxi from Sai Kung. One-way tickets cost HK$65 for both children and adults. Passengers can only pay using cash or an Octopus card.
During operational days, there will be four departures from Sai Kung and High Island. The journey takes about an hour with a stop in Kau Sai Village. Ferries that sail from High Island will stop at Pak A until 28 January 2024 during the trial period.
Special trips are available for one-off events, such as the Sai Kung Hoi Art Festival – see below.
Before the construction of two dams that connect it to Sai Kung Peninsula, High Island used to be the highest island in Sai Kung. It boasts stunning hexagonal rock formations thanks to the molten volcanic materials. It is also among the world’s first 100 International Union of Geological Sciences Geological Heritage Sites.
The area also has plenty of historical buildings including the Grade III Leung Shuen Wan Tin Hau Temple, Hakka settlements, and fishing villages.
