Day 1-2

Disneyland/Hong Kong Island

Red tram surrounded by skyscrapers
Highlights:

Spend a morning enjoying the rides at Disneyland Hong Kong

Make some time to ride the “ding-dings” (trams), go shopping on Toy Street, and try out the extra-long outdoor escalators on Hong Kong Island

Welcome to Disneyland — but not as you know it. Opened in 2005, HK’s very own “happiest place on Earth” was built according to principles of feng shui. Old favourites Adventureland, Tomorrowland and Fantasyland have now been joined by newer Marvel and Frozen themed attractions, and there are enough rides, games and stalls to keep your family entertained all day (and probably longer). If you do want to mix it up, however, we suggest an afternoon spent exploring Hong Kong Island. Getting around by tram and outdoor escalator is a novelty in itself, and you may be able to tempt your children with promise of a visit to Toy Street, where stalls are festooned with classic toys and new gizmos.

Transport

Day 1:
Car transfer from Hong Kong airport to hotel (40 minutes)

Day 3-4

Lantau/Kowloon

Big Buddha statue at top of steps on Lantau Island
Highlights:

Visit the world’s largest seated bronze Buddha on Lantau Island

Enjoy panoramic views of Hong Kong and the South China Sea from a cable car

Watch the Symphony of Lights from a boat in the harbour

Get to grips with a totally different side of Hong Kong as you join a private guide for a morning exploring laid-back Lantau Island. Wander incense-wreathed Po Lin Monastry, where monks pray and chant while they perform their Buddhist rituals, then climb the steps to the Big Buddha on Tian Tan Hill. It’s a spectacular cablecar ride back to the mainland, where you’ll dive into the hectic heart of Temple Street Night Market, then head out on a dinner cruise on Victoria Harbour — complete with buffet dinner and live band. At eight o’clock on the dot, watch as the city’s iconic skyline is set alight for the 15-minutes Symphony of Light as you toast the end of an action-packed family break.

Transport

Day 4:
Car transfer from hotel to Hong Kong airport (40 minutes)
