    We took the dim sum Sunday boat trip and had a very enjoyable excursion. The food was really delicious; we had pre-ordered vegetarian and it was some of the best veggie dim sum we had on our trip. A good harbour cruise to the east side of Hong Kong island; efficient and personable service, all washed down with a glass of wine. Highly recommended and excellent value.

    Island Junks is your go-to for a large (or small!) junk experience. The booking and service process was seamless. Kitty, Magnus and staff, phenomenal. The food, so delicious and perfect for junks!
    The staff Nelson and max in particular absolute stars! It was a fabulous night. Thank you for such an incredible evening.

    Amazing tour with Sarah and Rex. A very interesting yet in-depth introduction to Cheung Chau fishery industry. The boat is near and tidy. An enjoyable day!

    Booking is very straight forward and Jenny was extremely helpful in ensuring that all our requirements were met. The boat collected us promptly and the crew were extremely mindful of our safety especially when in the water. The food was very good quality and more than enough for the people we had on board. Beautiful weather and a great day out. This is the third time we have used them and would not hesitate to use again. Highly recommended .

    Decided to explore the Hong Kong Global Geopark and selected the North Eastern Tour. Daisy was extremely helpful in helping with the registration process and Francis was an awesome tour guide. He was very organized, knowledgeable and friendly. Great tour to learn about Hing Kong’s geography, history and culture.

    We found Saffron Cruise online and within minutes of contacting them they were able to give us multiple options and a flexible sailing schedule to meet our needs.

    We booked the vessel Vanilla for a private two person adventure to watch the sunset in the Hong Kong harbor.

    We were met at the pier in front of the W Hotel by the captain and his two mates who helped us on board the vessel carefully and kindly served us drinks and snacks while we enjoyed the view and smooth sailing through the harbor.

    We were taken to a private location and expertly moored so that we could look back at the setting Sun and enjoy our champagne over the smooth waters.

    Before the end of our cruise we went back to Hong Kong harbor and paused once more to enjoy the city lights before heading back safely to the same dock.

    I really recommend the Saffron Cruise team because of their good communication and capability.

    We’ve recently completed our Open Water Diver certifications with Splash HK and had a fantastic experience. Our instructor, Farouk, was a great teacher and always took the time to make sure we understood everything and were comfortable. I also needed extra time to get used to the sea dives and he and the Splash team were really helpful and supportive to help me overcome my nerves. Very friendly group of people with an obvious passion for what they do. We would highly recommend and will be back for some fun dives soon!

    We really enjoyed the junk with orange tree. Food was top notch, staff amazing. I do think especially when it’s raining and people are going into the water that there needs to mats on the floor to prevent slipping. It’s very dangerous and a few people really hurt themselves slipping in the floor. Overall amazing

    It can be a bit confusing renting a boat in Hong Kong as there are so many different companies to choose from. We went with Hong Kong Boats, this proved to be a very good decision. The whole booking process went very smoothly and on the day the captain took us to a few really beautiful secluded beaches where not too many other boats were around. The quality of the boat, the service of the crew, the food and drinks, everything was excellent. We all had a fantastic day! I highly recommend Hong Kong Boats if you are looking to have a great day out on the water in Hong Kong

    We organized a surprise week long cruise in Greece for my mom's 70'th Birthday, with friends and family.
    Zlil from Hopayacht was not only patient, kind, professional, attentive and always available but I could feel she really cared and wanted to make the best experience for all of us. and she succeeded much more than anticipated :)
    She helped me organize the group, spoke with indecisive friends in a gentle and positive manner, attended to every need of our group members even without my knowledge, and also organized with no extra charges birthday cakes for 2 friends that had birthdays during this week, in addition to my mom's celebrations.

    We also prepared a video and a presentation for my mom, and Zlil not only downloaded the video on a weekend, a day before our departure (it was ready just by then) , but made sure with the Gulet captain that they can show it on the Gulet after performing a test run with him and Aja - another Hopayacht member, based in Budrum Turkey that held a beautiful warm welcome for us when we arrived at the first day.

    The vacation itself was absolutely perfect. The kind and professional crew, the tasty and abundant food , the relaxation, the beautiful private small bays that we stayed and swam in, the interesting islands with reach history and authentic beauty, and of caurse the free quality time it provided us to celebrate and be together with no worries about what we should do next - everything was taken care of.

    The weather however did not cooperate. We had strong winds and even rain during this week. But even there Zlil showed herself to be the best service provider. She called us during the trip several times, offering activities that are suitable for rainy weather - such as organized tours, spa and so on...

    I never had a travel experience where even the planning stages were such a joy. Zlil made it so by letting me feel that everything is under good care and control. She really understood our specific needs, knew the group members even better than me sometimes (friends of my parents) and she really wanted what is best for all of us.

    We are definitely going to come back again for another tempting cruise.
    It's ideal for group of friends or family that just want to have the perfect combination of fun & relaxation , water sports and swimming, exploring interesting and unique sites, and having quality peaceful time together which unfortunately doesn't happen so often in the hectic fast moving world that many of us live in !

    Couple weeks ago, me and my friends booked the night party room package through Holimood. What surprises me the most is that you could shisha on board, which me and my friends have never tried before! Also, the board games are all in good condition and me and my friends all had a great time playing on board! Overall, the whole experience was really fun, and we really enjoyed the night! Would definitely recommend if you want to have a unique night out.

    This is a very cheap and fun way to experience Tai O fishing village. You can book a seat on one of the small boats that will take you on a tour around the Tai O waterways. Most of the boats are clustered beside the blue Tai O Chung Bridge as you enter the village. There’s no need to book ahead and you will see touts selling rides around the bridge area.
    The boats are quite low down on the water which gives you a real, close-up experience as you pass the stilt homes. Most have a covered canopy over the seats which offers protection from the sun.
    The going rate seems to be $30HKDpp. There is a pretty standard route which takes in the stilt houses, the river, the bay, the mangrove forest, the two small bridges and the Tai O Heritage Hotel and lasts around 20 min. There is always the lure of possibly seeing the rare Chinese pink and white dolphins although don’t get your hopes up. In 3 days at Tai O we didn't spot them once. Locals told us that they were expecting to see them in the next few days because there was a typhoon looming and this usually brought the dolphins closer in around the bay.

    We joined with two other families to enjoy a perfect day on the water. As soon as we stepped on the boat, the friendly crew and staff greeted us and we knew we were in good hands. We were expertly navigated around the islands for a day of sun and relaxation. The boat was comfortable, spacious and luxurious, and the food was of excellent quality. We couldn't stop raving about the positive experience. We highly recommend M Yachts to all!
