Hiking, running, swimming every bit of Hong Kong

Author hkoutdooradventures

Iurgi /juːɡɪ/, Spanish (Basque) living in Hong Kong since 2004. My very first day here we hiked up to Lion Rock and since then I have been exploring all around Hong Kong, trail running, open water swimming, etc. Once I find really special places I like to show them to others. I love seeing the “I can’t believe this is HK” faces

West HK island

Peculiar coasteering route with interesting spots but too much concrete and small rock areas also. For hardcore “want-to-do-all” or beginners.

Stanley Headland

Beautiful route with history, distinct rock formations, challenging spots and more. The Prison and the PLA complex make it tricky though.

Bags & hydration

What kind of backpack should I buy? Should I go for something fully waterproof? Is an over shoulder bag OK?

East Phoenix Stream

Another relatively easy route in Lantau. High cliff and waterfall to conquer but with low water flow and a bit jungly on the top.

Kayaking in HK

Hong Kong offers a stunning coastline that we usually enjoy coasteering or swimming. If you would like to paddle instead here some info.

North New Zealand

South New Zealand is one of my favorite destinations in the world. It was time to pay the North Island a visit, focused on hiking & trail running.

First aid

The very basics to consider for your adventures. First-aid kit I bring with me and basic techniques that I used to teach when working as a lifeguard.

Disney coasteering

An easy route full of beaches, varied rock formations, and colors, but full of plastics and not so clean water frequently. Good for beginners.

Swimming 101

Hong Kong is surrounded by sea. Most of the time we explore the coastline coasteering. Another option is open water swim.
