Offering an authentic and immersive blend of sightseeing, local history, and culture, the Aberdeen 1773 tour is ideal for business travellers and corporate groups.
This tour, run by Seayou Explorer, vividly brings to life the rich heritage of Hong Kong’s fishing villages through an audio-guided sightseeing boat tour and a museum visit.
Aberdeen has been a port and home to fishing communities since the 1940s. The experience begins with boarding a sightseeing boat to explore the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter. Participants receive a professional audio guide in Cantonese, Mandarin, English, Japanese, and Korean, providing insights into 13 landmarks along the route. Following the boat tour, a visit to the “Floating House Boat” exhibition offers a glimpse into traditional life on the water through photos, exhibits, and oral history videos, culminating in a photo opportunity with a 3D painting.
The 75-minute tour starts and concludes at Aberdeen Fisherman’s Wharf Pier 6, and is priced at HK$175 per person. It can accommodate groups of 10 to 160 per time slot, but can be customised to a planners’ needs.
There are other customisation and add-ons available, such as tasting freshly cooked traditional Ting Tsai Noodles on Aberdeen’s last two vermicelli boats, guided walking tours of Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau offering local insights, fishermen’s song workshops, and visits to a boat noodle kitchen to learn about traditional preparation methods and sample local dishes like boat noodles, sticky rice, and congee.
