Kayaking: Circumnavigating Sharp Island (Sai Kung)

Kayaking: Circumnavigating Sharp Island (Sai Kung)

Difficulty Level: 3 out of 5 (intermediate)

Distance: 10 km

Time: 5.5 hours

Description: This kayaking event is appropriate for intermediate kayakers. The plan is to meet at the 7-11 Convenience Store (see address) and then walk to Sha Ha Beach, the location where we'll rent our kayaks. We'll navigate to Yim Tin Tsai Island where we'll have our lunch (there's a toilet on this island). If the tide is high and we can navigate through, we'll continue through a peaceful passage lined with mangroves and then make our way to the southern tip of Sharp Island. We'll make 2-3 stops along the way to rest and enjoy the scenery before we head back to Sha Ha Beach to return our kayaks.

Some highlights: This whole area is listed and protected under the UNESCO World Heritage program. There are many beautiful and pristine beaches with incredible geological formations that are only found in this area because of a mega-volcanic eruption that occurred millions of years ago. Yes, what you will see has taken millions of years to make. What's more, because most of these treasures are facing the water, they can only be enjoyed from a kayak.
