Northeastern Waters Odyssey
Northeastern Waters Odyssey
The northeastern corner of Hong Kong's waters is among the least visited and quietly rewarding stretches of coastline in the entire territory. The Northeastern Waters Odyssey charts a course through three of the region's distinctive island destinations, Tap Mun, Grass Island, and Crescent Island, each separated by open water crossings that give the voyage an actual sense of expedition. Tap Mun, also known as Grass Island to some, is home to a small fishing community, a centuries-old Tin Hau temple, and hillside walking paths with panoramic views across Mirs Bay.
Crescent Island sits in quiet contrast, its curved shoreline and calm anchorage making it one of the highly serene stops on any Hong Kong cruise route. Throughout the journey, the absence of urban infrastructure is striking, replaced instead by open skies, clean air, and a coastline that moves at its own unhurried pace.
