Have that very special Hong Kong experience by taking the opportunity to sail on a typical fisherman’s junk that sailed the waters of Hong Kong Bay in the early years of its history. Now a lovingly restored version is available to once again roam the waters of the bay. Collect unforgettable memories by taking a trip on this historic boat. You can have the boat all to yourself on a private tour of the harbour or join one of the short or long tours that take place three times a week.
Get on the ‘clever duck’ which is Duk Ling in Mandarin and ride around the famous Victoria harbour at any time of the day. Visitors will relish the chance to see Hong Kong and Kowloon from a different angle, away from the constant clamour of the city. Glide over the water under wind or diesel power and have a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience. Enjoy 360 degree views of one of the world’s most vertical cities and the hills beyond, which is not possible for the land based. See not only the famous landmarks but get to know a different side of Hong Kong with trips to Lamma Island, Lei Yu Mun or Po Toi which are known for their special seafood dinners. On an evening tour visitors can see the lights come on in the high rises that line the iconic waterfront, see the famed light show and even enjoy a beautiful sunset.
The Duk Ling was built in Macau several decades ago and saw service with fishermen until it was bought and painstakingly restored to be fully sea worthy again. It is staffed by sailors with years of experience on the high seas and crewing Duk Lings has been the particular experience of the captain.
Over the years the Duk Ling has provided thrills to groups of screaming schoolchildren, celebrities and hundreds of travellers to Hong Kong as well as the city’s residents who have enjoyed the trips on this ancient mode of transport. Make your trip to Hong Kong memorable by enjoying a ride on the last remaining genuine junk in working order.
