Hong Kong & Taiwan Explorer

Welcome to Hong Kong! On arrival, make your own way to the hotel and enjoy the rest of the day at your own leisure. Sleep off the jet lag in the hotel or head out to explore this lively coastal city.

Today we embark on a guided sightseeing tour of the city. First, we ascend Victoria Peak in order to enjoy panoramic views over the city and the surrounding region. Next, we head to the Floating Village of Aberdeen, known for its fishing communities who only very rarely come to shore. We'll then head along the shoreline to Repulse Bay, where you can enjoy views out over the South China Sea.

Later, we head back to the city's financial district and enjoy a ferry ride across Victoria Harbour. This hour-long circular journey offers magnificent views of Hong Kong from the water. It was recently voted as one of the "50 trips of a lifetime" by National Geographic.

Returning to our hotel after a day of sightseeing, the remainder of today is at leisure.

Today is completely free for you to explore Hong Kong further at your own pace. You could take an open top bus tour of the city, make the 45-minute journey to Macau for a day trip, or head to Hong Kong Disneyland! The choice is yours.

Hong Kong - Taipei (Taiwan). After breakfast at the hotel, check out and take your included private transfer to the airport. An economy class flight to Taipei is included in the cost of your tour - you will travel without a guide, but will be collected by a driver in Taipei and taken to our hotel in the city. The flight time is approximately 1 hour 50 minutes. On arrival in Taipei, you have the rest of today at leisure.

Join an included half-day sightseeing tour in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. China recognizes Taiwan as a breakaway province, whilst the island's government claims independence and is a close ally to Western powers including the United States.

On today's tour, we will take in highlights including the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Presidential Office Building, the Grand Hotel Taipei, Martyrs’ Shrine and National Palace Museum. Led by a local guide, the history and background of Taipei will be brought to life before you are given some free time to further explore the city at your own pace.

You have some more free time today to explore Taipei. One of the activities we recommend are a ride up the city's tallest skyscraper, Taipei 101, for panoramic views over the city. You could also hike up Elephant Mountain, visit some more of the city's shrines and temples or visit one of the city's many vibrant night markets.

Our tour comes to an end after breakfast and hotel check out. You will be transferred to the airport for your onward flight. Safe travels!
