Tips For Your Hong Kong Junk Boat Party

Best Months To Go On A Junk Boat

Depending on what kind of experience you’re after, you can either head out on a day trip to one of Hong Kong’s many beaches, or you can hire a junk boat in the evening for a more dressy night. Both are great, but day junks are generally better value-for-money as they last longer (seven hours instead of four).

Junk boats get snapped up fast, so try your best to book at least one month in advance. Peak junk season typically lasts from around May to September, so if you’d like to hire a boat for the summer, it’s time to get planning!

Some Good Destinations For Junk Boat Trips

There are various locations that junks depart from, including Central, Causeway Bay, Aberdeen and Sai Kung. You can usually request your stopping place, but it depends on the junk company and the captain (not to mention the unpredictable Hong Kong weather!) as to where you end up.

However, if you do get a say in your final destination, we recommend Lamma for some tasty seafood or Deep Water Bay to sunbathe by the shore. Sai Kung, Clearwater Bay, Turtle Cove and Stanley Bay are also excellent options.

What To Bring On A Junk Boat

• Swimwear
• A towel
• Sunscreen
• A change of clothes
• Flip-flops
• Sunglasses
• Seasickness tablets (if necessary)
• A floaty/noodle/lilo
• If you’re picky, your own shampoo and toiletries for the end of the day
• If you’re bringing your own food, make sure it is actually on board before you set sail
• A camera or phone to take photos
• A “dry-bag” can definitely come in handy, making sure your valuables don’t get splashed with seawater!
