Embark on a captivating dolphin watching journey with the Hong Kong DolphinWatch team as we set sail in search of the enchanting “pinkies” – the native Chinese pink dolphins that grace the waters of Hong Kong. Our adventure unfolds in North Lantau, where the merging currents of the South China Sea and Pearl River create the perfect feeding grounds for the small pod that remains.
Against the backdrop of significant development, including the Hong Kong International Airport and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge over the past thirty years, coupled with ongoing water contamination, the population of these beautiful creatures has witnessed a steady decline. Join us on this expedition, not only to witness the breathtaking spectacle of dolphin watching but also to play a vital role in ecological preservation. By sharing our passion for these magnificent creatures and raising awareness about their plight, our trip contributes to the continuous monitoring efforts and provides valuable insights to local researchers, aiming to safeguard their natural habitat.
This immersive three to four-hour group excursion commences every Sunday from Tsim Sha Tsui, where we embark on a coach transfer to Tung Chung to board the DolphinWatch boat. Our journey includes a comprehensive introduction to the dolphins by an expert DolphinWatch guide. Alternatively, options to board directly at Tung Chung are available. Spend precious hours at sea observing these dolphins in their natural habitat before returning to Tung Chung for a scenic bus ride back to Tsim Sha Tsui. Immerse yourself in the magic of dolphin watching while actively contributing to the conservation of these extraordinary marine beings.
Charter trips for schools and organisations are available mid-week, please email info@hkgreeters.com for more information.
