Shenzhen: Hong Kong Tap Mun Island Private Day Trip

Enjoy the slow life on this relaxed private day trip from Shenzhen to Tap Mun, also known as Grass Island, one of Hong Kong's most charming and laid-back outlying islands. After a comfortable meet-up near Futian Port, your private English-speaking guide helps with the border crossing and the easy journey by train and a short walk to Ma Liu Shui Pier.

From there you board a scenic ferry across the water to Tap Mun, a peaceful 'Glass Island' fringed by clear blue sea. On arrival, enjoy a free island lunch before a gentle, fully relaxed loop walk around the island with your guide. The terrain is flat and easy, suitable for all ages, so you can simply soak up the scenery.

The island is famous for its rolling green meadows tumbling down to the sea, perfect for dreamy photos. Stroll the wooden boardwalks past the rock formations of Lui Ji Stacking Stones and Tap Mun Cave, and look out for the island's free-roaming cattle grazing on the grass. Spread out a picnic blanket, share some snacks and let the sea breeze carry your cares away.

This is authentic, slow-paced Hong Kong island life with no demanding walking at all, ideal for a truly restful day. Your private guide assists with the return toward Shenzhen.

For us, there are plenty of polished photos online; the useful surprise was having time at Hong Kong Tap Mun Island Day without being moved along every five minutes.

Emma L.🇧🇷 Brazil★★★★★2025-01

Practically speaking, I liked that the day had structure without feeling scripted. Questions were answered properly, and there was also time to look around in silence. For 11 hours around Hong Kong and Shenzhen, the pace felt about right.

Pierre M.🇫🇷 France★★★★★2024-12

Bring water and do not over-plan the evening afterward. 11 hours covered more ground than I expected.

Elena H.🇦🇺 Australia★★★★★2024-03

Honestly, this wasn't a “see everything” tour, and that was a strength. The time around Hong Kong and Shenzhen felt specific to Hong Kong and Shenzhen, not interchangeable with another city.
