This tour gives visitors the chance to spend either a day of racing at Sha Tin or an evening at Happy Valley in the plush comfort of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Members' Enclosure enjoying all of the heart-stopping action. Nothing sets Hong Kong abuzz with excitement quite like the thrill of horseracing. The atmosphere is exhilarating, betting is feverish and there are potentially huge rewards.

On the tour, you can learn about the principles of this ancient philosophy and see how it has influenced the landscape of major commercial areas. The tour stops at Lung Cheung Road Lookout. From here, you will be shown the dragon's den, or the place with the highest concentration of the dragon energy that is reputed to have created the city's prosperity.
Hong Kong Wetland Park Tour
The Hong Kong Wetland Park is a world-class ecotourism facility and home to a stunning array of wildlife including birds, dragonflies, amphibians, mammals, reptiles, butterflies and fish. The tour begins with a guided walk around the mangrove boardwalks and bird hides to get close up to some of the inhabitants. At the Visitor Centre, enjoy more splendid views of migratory birds in the surrounding Mai Po Marshes, designated as Wetlands of International Importance.
Time permitting, check out the Centre's interactive exhibits and learn more about nature, ecology and conservation. The tour also goes to the village of Lau Fau Shan at Deep Bay, which is very popular with seafood lovers. On the main street, a number of stalls offer a range of live seafood and preserved oysters ready for cooking in nearby seafood restaurants. Along the waterfront, you can see oyster farmers at work tending to their oyster beds. This is a nice spot to enjoy some of Hong Kong's coastal scenery.
Touring Victoria Harbour
Victoria Harbour is one of the world's busiest and most impressive natural harbours. Hong Kong's striking coastline and the countless container vessels, junks, sampans and pleasure craft gliding around the harbour create an exciting view. The spectacular backdrop of Hong Kong Island's stunning skyline will fire your imagination as darkness falls and a dazzling neon cityscape emerges. Cruises set sail from piers on either side of Victoria Harbour. Mountains on almost all sides act as a windbreaker, protecting the harbour and making it a natural shelter from the typhoons that sometimes hit the region during summer months.
- Afternoon Harbour Cruise: Enjoy a leisurely harbour cruise by stepping aboard a Chinese-style tour boat. Sail around the Harbour and take in the spectacular skyscrapers of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, the Chinese People's Liberation Army, formerly the British Royal Naval Base, HSBC Main Building, the Victoria Peak and more. The cruise takes in one of Hong Kong's oldest typhoon shelter in Yau Ma Tei, and on to the Tsing Ma Bridge, the world's longest road and rail suspension bridge which links the rest Hong Kong to the airport. The world's busiest container terminal is also nearby.
- Sunset Cruise: Join a leisurely cruise on a Chinese-style tour boat around Victoria Harbour while enjoying a magnificent sunset view and Hong Kong's magnificent harbour and city views. Comprising some of Hong Kong's most dramatic vistas, this cruise takes you on a circuit of the harbour and sails to Lei Yue Mun on the eastern tip of Kowloon Peninsula. Relax with the unlimited free drinks served on board.
