Green Egg Island is a small island near Sai Kung, Hong Kong. It is named after its poached egg with a green yolk. I originally thought it would be really exhausting to do outdoor sports in this weather, but it turned out to be okay with sun-protective clothing and the wind on the sea. It’s super beautiful and I recommend you to visit! ✨Just looking at the water surface illuminated by the sunlight, it looks like a sea of ​​glass, absolutely amazing! This time we paddled there in a two-person canoe, but in fact there should be a speedboat that can go there. 🚖Transportation: Take a taxi from Hang Hau MTR Station B2 to Sheung Sze Wan, which takes about 15 minutes and costs about HK$40-50 to reach the boat rental company. 🚤Boat rental: It is recommended to go with a partner if you are rowing a double boat for the first time! A double boat costs HK$250 on weekdays and HK$300 on holidays. It is best to make an appointment with Chuanjia in advance! (Life jackets, showers and changing rooms are available) It is recommended to arrive before 10-11 am, so that you have more time. You can snorkel and visit the island after you arrive. It is recommended to leave at 15:30 at the latest for the return trip and return as early as possible at dawn. ⚠️Note: 1️⃣ Bring sun protection clothing, sun hat, sunscreen, amphibious shoes (very scratchy), swimming goggles, waterproof bag, sunglasses, water, garbage bag, lunch (bring your own lunch) 2️⃣ Pay attention to the weather, because thunderstorms/too windy will prevent you from going out to sea, so it’s best to choose a sunny day! 🔅 #GlobalTravel #trip #Saigon #HongKongGoodPlaces

Green Egg Island is famous for its clear water 🏝️. During the summer holidays, many people go there to play in the water 🌊, snorkel 🤿, canoe 🚣🏽‍♀️, and trek. The canoe is paddled a short distance away, suitable for beginners. We set off from Acacia Bay, this time we took 2 children together to play, so that they can explore the underwater ecology 🐟🪸🤿. We rented two double canoes and set off for the island, rowing on the shore on the right hand side 🚣🏽‍♀️, the 1 km turn is the Lobster Bay petroglyphs 🪨. Then continue towards Green Egg Island, then row another 2 kilometers or so to reach it, looking from a distance over a small green raised island, is "Green Egg" 💚, is a popular photo spot📸. There is a sandy beach on the other side of Green Egg Island, with more space to rest and moor boats. After a short break, you can walk up the "Green Egg", there is a sky pool to take pictures, looking down at the sea from higher, you can see the clear water 💙🩵. The water is not too deep in the middle of the two shores, so it is good for snorkeling to see fish, coral reefs🪸, sea cucumbers and other underwater creatures. Almost walked across the street when the tide went out. Since there are no shops and toilets on the island, you need to bring enough water and food to replenish your food. How to explore: Snorkeling 🤿 | Canoeing 🚣🏽‍♀️ | Hiking 🚶🏾‍♀️ | Swimming 🏊🏽‍♀️ 📍Green Egg Island🏝️ Easy route: Acacia Bay > Lobster Bay > Green Egg Island > Return Distance: Row to Green Egg Island round trip distance 5-6 km ~ Boat Rental: There are several boat rental shops along Acacia Bay in Sai Kung that rent single/double canoes and stand-up paddles.

The legendary egg-shaped island, we set out from Sai Kung and kayaked to Green Egg Island. The round trip took about 2 hours (double kayak). The wind and waves were quite strong yesterday, but the sea was basically calm and easy to paddle. There are many options for renting canoes, so choose carefully (laughs). The water around Green Egg Island is very clear. Many tourists are snorkeling. Many tourists are also playing sup and some water activities. It is worth experiencing. - #Hong Kong Good Places #Local Travel #Family Good Places #HongkongStudyDiary #Hongkong #GreenEggIsland #GreenEggIslandCanoe #XiangsiWan #hongkong #kayak

Since I can’t travel abroad due to the epidemic, I had to look for fun places in Hong Kong. This is my second time to play canoeing. I didn’t expect that I have the courage to challenge a single-person canoe❣️ (I don’t know how to swim) Going to Green Egg Island in a canoe 🚣 is a great experience. It not only exercises my arms, shoulders, back and chest muscles (I’ve been exercising more recently so this has become my hobby), but I can also spend half a day with my friends 👭 and check in, which allows me to relax. The most important thing is that the water in Green Egg Island is very clear, which is perfect for snorkeling. But…I’m busy bringing my snorkeling gear, so…I’ll just keep rowing hard! A friend of mine rented a SUP, which is something I’ve always wanted to try, so I borrowed it and paddled a few times! Although the principle of SUP is similar to canoeing, it is not easy either. First, you need to stand on the thin board in a balanced way, and then change hands frequently to paddle. I think this is very strenuous. It might be better to kneel down. However, if you have to paddle for several hours, beginners may also feel very tired. Some friends may be afraid of getting tanned when participating in water activities. In fact, as long as they take adequate sun protection measures, they will not get too dark. I put on sunscreen, a hat 🧢, and long-sleeved sun-protective clothing, and I almost didn't get tanned. Only my feet got tanned (there was no coverage between my pants and shoes) So I highly recommend this activity to everyone, and I also recommend everyone to explore Green Egg Island! #HongKongGoodPlaces #LocalTour #ResidentWriter #Parent-ChildGoodPlaces #SuburbanGoodPlaces #Canoe #Sai Kung #GreenEggIsland #StandUpPaddleboard #Check-in #WaterSports #kayak #sup #watersport

The first time to go to Green Egg Island by water, first go to Acacia Bay to rent a canoe (usually no reservation is required), and you can arrive slowly along the coast in about 1 hour. The process requires a certain amount of physical strength. There will be many tourists going together on the way, so don’t be afraid of getting lost, but pay attention to the weather. After arriving, you can snorkel on your own 🤿, it is a good snorkeling spot in Hong Kong.

I had never tried water sports before, but this time I went kayaking at Green Egg Island near Clear Water Bay, and it was both fun and scenic! However, as a beginner, I found it a bit tiring since I couldn't quite master the rhythm of paddling. Green Egg Island became popular in Hong Kong during the pandemic, but I hadn't visited before because it requires kayaking to get there. The glassy sea there is truly breathtaking, and swimming or snorkeling allows you to see marine life like small fish, sea urchins, and corals—definitely worth the trip! This time, I rented a kayak from Lobster Kayak at Xiangsi Bay. Their service was very thoughtful—they sent out safety tips before departure, provided route guidance, explained wind directions, and demonstrated proper paddling techniques. The shop also offers basic facilities for rinsing off. Their service was excellent. Starting from Xiangsi Bay, there are several destinations to choose from, including Green Egg Island, Ngau Mei Chau, and Tiu Chung Chau, all of which boast beautiful scenery. Among them, Green Egg Island is the shortest route. Of course, you can also paddle freely in the sea. However, before heading out, make sure to check Hong Kong's weather conditions for the day. If there are strong wind or thunderstorm warnings, it's not safe to go into the water. Also, pay attention to the time—if you're planning to visit farther destinations, it's best to start early. On the day we went, we probably didn't master the paddling technique well and faced some headwinds, so the outbound trip alone took us 1 hour and 45 minutes.

When dawn illuminates Clear Water Bay, Green Egg Island emerges like a jade poached egg nestled in the shimmering waves, waiting for travelers to unlock its glassy water secrets. Starting from Xiangsi Bay, paddlers embark on a 45-minute canoe journey across a liquid crystal sea. With 12-meter visibility, the underwater world reveals swaying antler corals, schools of tiger-striped fish glinting like scattered gold, and the occasional graceful glide of a stingray beneath the canoe, creating a magical dance with ocean spirits. Encircled by hexagonal rock columns, this uninhabited island offers a dreamlike stage even for beginners. The double canoe glides steadily through the waves, fingertips brushing the cool sea water. Around the corner, the ancient geological tales of Lobster Bay's stone carvings unfold, while the verdant mountain reflections of Three Cups Island mirror on the water, as if paddling into a traditional Chinese landscape painting. Upon landing, travelers can shed their paddles and dive into tide-sculpted natural pools. Beneath the snorkeling mask, a mesmerizing world awaits: purple sea urchins tucked into rock crevices, clownfish darting through coral labyrinths, and, with a bit of luck, a swim alongside translucent jellyfish shimmering like stardust. As the midday sun gilds the sea with silver fragments, the return journey invites a leisurely drift, letting the sea breeze lift the brim of your sun hat. This emerald adventure along Hong Kong's eastern coast not only conquers the waves but also captures the purest whispers of island life in every paddle stroke.

Green Egg Island, formerly known as Rotten Row. Green Egg Island has been called Green Egg Island in recent years because its shape resembles a fried egg when viewed from high altitude, with the "yolk" in the center being green (because the center is covered with green plants). There is a small beach on Green Egg Island with clear water, fine sand and shallow water, which is suitable for playing in the water and snorkeling. On low tide days, you can walk directly to Green Egg Island via the sandbank. On normal days, you need to wade/swim, which is more suitable for people who are familiar with swimming. Please pay attention to the tide time before departure.

After going down to the rocky beach, we started paddling a canoe along the mountainside and arrived at the Green Egg Island attraction in about 45 minutes. There is water there for snorkeling, and we brought our own snorkeling gear to snorkel. The water here is very clear, and you can see all kinds of fish, clownfish, corals, ginseng, etc. The environment on the island is very beautiful.
