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

Long Ke Wan West

A back up short coasteering if the sea conditions are not at their best around. Allows you to enjoy some of the views ending on a nice beach.

Tei Shek stream

An easy, short, nice stream with several waterfalls and pools in Lantau. To add for a long day or good for beginners (explanation) on its own.

Clear Water Bay

Fun caves, good scrambling walls, relatively clear water, quite some fishes & green egg island around the Clear Water Bay Headland.

Cross-training

I have several friends and readers who have asked me about my weekday training and recovery exercises. This post is going to be long and I’ll update/improve it for a while.

How to start

Sticky post

Quite some people have asked me how they could start enjoying the type of adventures shown on this web. Here a short compendium of everything explained.

Trio Beach

An easy route full of cliff-jumping opportunities, clean water, beaches, and varied rock formations and colors. Good for beginners.

Kat O – Crescent

Exploring further the remote islands on the North of Hong Kong. Cute and relatively easy if you are ready for long swims or have a support boat.

Tung Lung Chau West

Even if it is not as spectacular as the East coast this is a fun & significantly easier route full of beautiful cliffs, deep caves & clear water to jump into.

Ninepin Islands

Hexagonal columns, archways, tunnels, corals, clean water, a white sand beach. Near perfect coasteering destination but for the logistics and swim distance.
