Customer Reviews
The hike was beautiful and our tour guide Tom was outstanding. Although some areas of the hike were slightly difficult he guided us like a champ. Great tour!
Who would have believed that it is possible to go hiking in the forest in Hong Kong! It is possible and the tour with Rory as our guide was great. A really peaceful hike along a river bed for a few hours, hopping over boulders and past waterfalls. Rory was willing to adjust the pace of the hike to suit and provided the right balance of information and commentary without being intrusive, which seems to be an ability may guides lack.
Our only regret is that we did the hike in April, which is late in the dry season, so the river water level was very low and the waterfalls a mere trickle, so we would love to repeat it in the rainy season.
We would highly recommend this walk.
