About this experience

Experience a unique escape aboard a 2,100 sq. ft. houseboat in Hong Kong. Featuring a King Master Suite, two Queen bedrooms, and a single bed sofa, this houseboat offers both relaxation and a private party venue.

Immerse yourself in the rich history of Hong Kong's fishing villages, where the traditional Tanka way of life thrives. Explore heritage homes, massive fishing vessels, wooden boats, and sampans, reflecting Hong Kong's maritime past.

Enjoy a complimentary sampan tour through the city’s oldest fishing harbor, with multilingual audio guides sharing the stories of Tanka boat-dwellers. Try hands-on activities like weaving fishing traps, drumming on a dragon boat, and holding a dragon boat paddle.

Taste authentic Tanka "boat noodles" and snap fun photos with a fisher’s hat. In the morning, visit the nearby "Dawn Seafood Market" for an authentic local experience. A truly immersive journey into Hong Kong’s maritime heritage awaits you!
