Take the ferry to Yung Shue and walk over to Sok Kwo Wan. It talks about 2 hours at a reasonable pace but worth it. The restaurants in Sok Kwo Wan are excellent not cheap but the food is so good. The Rainbow restaurant is really excellent the Staff very helpful and the menu caters for every taste. If you... More

Take the ferry to one side of the island, walk across and take the ferry back from the other side. It's a nice peaceful way to spend a day away from the city. The restaurants and coffee shops are nice too.

20 mins ferry ride from Central and its a different flavor of HK. Far away from the hassle and city crowds, there is no public transport on this island; only you, your backpack and your trusted pair of feet to walk/cycle. It costs about HKD16 (adult) per ferry ride from Mon-Sat and HKD22 on Sun and public holidays. The ferry... More

Took a break in this quiet and simple Island. Stayed there 3 nights in a friend's house. Really enjoy walking around the village and visit the beach. Such a high contrast with the lifestyle in HK. There are some young people staying in the village and travel to HK for works. Even though many hours are spend on travelling. The... More

Went to check out the beach and the insanely fresh seafood they offer here. Instead of a menu, you can pick your seafood live and wriggling and tell your waiter how to prepare it. Some shopping and lots of treat and snack vendors. Nice place to get away from the business of the city

This is one of those little side trips you take if you have the time and are a regular visitor to Hong Kong. Or! if you like seafood this is the place to visit. There is a regular ferry to Lamma Island and it visits 2 ports on the island. I got dropped off at a little fishing village and... More

Nothing special however it’s a trip worth to make to enjoy a car and motorbike free environment, good seafood and a nice 40-minutes ride on a ferry.

Good trip there with boat from Central / IFC pier 4. Walked from one harbour to the other, stayed at beach for a while. Had a really good day at Lamma :-) Very easy to get there and away.

Don't expect glitz. It's a countryside where you will escape from the hustle and bustle of city noise and pollution (no cars allowed). There were a few quaint cafes and even a butchery selling different cheeses and meats. Worth a meander.

Just 25 mins ferry from Central and you'll reach Lamma Island. Great for escaping a little bit from the city center without going reli far away. Just like the other outlying Islands in Hong Kong, Lamma Island has preserved many features of the traditional Hong Kong. Seafood, yum cha, beach, hiking trails, vocational houses, also famous for the three wind... More
