How to Get to Tai A Chau#

Tai A Chau is off the southern coast of Hong Kong. Access is by private boat or arranged charters; regular public ferry services do not routinely stop at many of the smaller outlying islands.

Tips for Visiting Tai A Chau#

  • Ferries and small-boat services to Hong Kong's outlying islands can be irregular-check schedules in advance.
  • The island has restricted areas due to past uses; follow posted notices and do not enter construction or fenced-off zones.
  • Bring sun protection; the remoteness means shade can be scarce and services are minimal.
