Hong Kong: Sampan Tour, Lamma Island, and Seafood Lunch

Explore Hong Kong's maritime heritage on a sampan tour. Visit a houseboat, explore the Dawn Seafood Market, enjoy a seafood lunch on Lamma Island, and visit the Lamma Fisherfolk’s Village.
Step away from the city buzz and dive into the rich maritime traditions of Hong Kong with this immersive full-day cultural tour. Discover the legacy of the city’s fishing communities through historic boat rides, interactive hands-on activities, and a gourmet seafood feast by the sea.

Begin your journey at Aberdeen Fisherman’s Wharf Pier 6, where you’ll board a sightseeing boat. Cruise through Aberdeen Harbour—Hong Kong’s oldest and most iconic fishing port—while listening to a multilingual audio guide that brings to life the stories of the Tanka boat people.

Step aboard a real houseboat to witness how traditional fishing families lived. Snap fun photos with traditional fishing hats — perfect for social media or your travel album. Before leaving Aberdeen, explore the bustling Dawn Seafood Market—an authentic glimpse into local daily life and seafood trade.

Continue your journey with a ferry ride to Lamma Island. Disembark at Sok Kwu Wan, where an award-winning seafood lunch awaits at the famous Lamma Rainbow Seafood Restaurant. Indulge in a variety of fresh local dishes including prawn, abalone, and lobster prepared with traditional flavors, while enjoying serene harbor views.

After lunch, enjoy a leisurely stroll along Sok Kwu Wan Main Street, home to souvenir shops and stalls offering local dried seafood and handmade goods — ideal for photo ops and soaking up island charm.

Next, visit the Lamma Fisherfolk’s Village, where Hong Kong’s coastal heritage is brought to life through themed displays and cultural exhibits. Stroll past traditional junk boats, rafts, and stilt houses, and observe how fishing tools, rope weaving, and salted fish-making were once part of daily life.

The village offers many picturesque corners — a hidden gem for travelers looking for authentic and Instagrammable cultural spots. At the end of the experience, board the Lamma Rainbow VIP ferry at Sok Kwu Wan Pier No.1 for your return journey.
