This is a new trip we are eager to try out! We will meet in the morning at the windsurfing center on Cheung Chau. Once we are on the water we will navigate around the island before crossing the channel between Cheung Chau and Lantau. Once crossed we will meander around the coast line in the direction of Mui Wo. Once there we will stop off for lunch for an hour or so. This will give everyone time to have a look around the town, give you a chance to have lunch in one of the local restaurants or have a packed lunch on the beautiful beach! After the lunch break we will get back on the water and begin to make our way back to Cheung Chau. This trip will be pretty full on and will require a decent level of stamina, so bear this in mind when signing up. As usual it is recommended to being a change of dry clothes, clothes to get wet in, shoes to get wet, a towel, sunscreen, hat, water bottle and I would suggest snacks as it will be a long day! If you have any questions please feel free to drop me a message. My WhatsApp number is +85255983489. 300hkd equipment rental fee, please bring exact cash on the day Looking forward to seeing you on the water!

In summer it can get hot and sweaty, and winter a bit cold, but drinks are refreshing and nothing beats that skyline! **Toilets** 🚻 There is a public toilet at the end of the piers near pier 2, or you could walk to the IFC shopping mall nearby. **Drinks** 🍺🍷🍹🥤 The Beer Bay serves refreshing alcoholic drinks, such as cold drafts, wine and plenty of mixers too.
