Join the only dedicated dolphin-watching voyage in Hong Kong waters to spot the extraordinary pink-hued Chinese white dolphin — an endangered species found only in these Pearl River Delta seas. Part wildlife encounter, part conservation story.
What to expect
Board a comfortable vessel at Tuen Mun for a half-day expedition into the sheltered waters north of Lantau, where the iconic Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin — locally called the Chinese white dolphin — surfaces and plays in small pods. A marine biologist guide narrates the ecology, the threats these dolphins face, and the decades of conservation work Dolphinwatch has pioneered. Sightings are not guaranteed, but the operator records an impressive success rate. The voyage also passes the dramatic backdrop of the Lantau mountains and the reclaimed airport island.
