With wonderful views of Hong Kong behind you, it’ll be the perfect day out for novice climbers looking to find their footing on real rock.

This private full day experience will give you a solid introduction to outdoor rock climbing. Led by a qualified climbing instructor, you will start by learning the safety procedures for climbing, including how to do a buddy check and how to fall safely, and move into practicing basic rock climbing and abseiling techniques. Those who are curious can also get a taste of intermediate skills, like belaying and rope work.

You may choose from 4 rock climbing sites located across Hong Kong, including some of Hong Kong’s most popular spots, like Beacon Hill, Cape Collinson, Shek O and Tung Lung Chau.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Q: I am an experienced climber. Is this experience for me?
A: Yes! The climbing sites offer a variety of routes for all levels of climbers, from beginner to advanced. You can ask to climb more technical routes to practice advanced techniques.

Q: When is the best time to go climbing outdoors?
A: While most of the sites can be climbed year-round, the months between October and January, when temperatures and humidity are moderate, are considered the most comfortable period to climb in Hong Kong.

Q: What is the difference between real rock and artificial indoor rock climbing?
A: There is a world of difference between the two. For one, hand holds and foot holds on real rock are not clearly defined. You will need to be observant for natural features and cracks in the rock to use. The hand holds you find may be smaller and in more irregular shapes. The weather will also have an impact on the conditions of the climb.

But if you choose to weather those difficulties, you will be rewarded with beautiful views and an unparalleled sense of achievement when you finally stand atop the conquered rock!

My boyfriend and i booked this for our anniversary and had a wonderful time. We had booked Shek O but the coach texted me to recommend Cape Collinson instead which was great advice as it is a beautiful spot. KY is a great and patient instructor with two beginners! I'd highly recommend the experience.

Our instructor, KC, took us rock climbing (our first time) and I could not have asked for a better experience / day! We felt completely comfortable climbing because KC ensured we knew every last detail from knotting to spotting etc. The scenery was spectacular and I'd highly recommend this to everyone whether you're adventurous or not! Our favorite part must have been the abseiling because you work up to doing this at the end once you've mastered the basics of climbing. Thrilling is an understatement and the views are like none other. It was unlike anything I've experienced in Hong Kong and something we hope to do again soon!

We both really enjoyed the whole day. We were beginners with no outdoor rock climbing experience and, on their recommendation, chose Beacon Hill as catering for a few levels. Our instructor was really nice and very patient teaching us the ropes and helping us climb whenever we got stuck. He had us belay each other so neither of us was just waiting around at any point and it was pretty full on (which we really liked!). We started with the easier climb but then he kept changing the ropes so we could get harder quite quickly over the day. And the view at the top plus a couple of curious monkeys were a pretty amazing bonus!

We had a great experience with KC and he catered the experience especially for us. We were bought this gift from a relative outside of HK and we were not sure when we booked as this experience advertises it is for beginners whereas we were out of practice intermediate level climbers, however KC adapted the experience for us and got us back into the swing of things! Highly recommend the experience and we also loved the climbs at Tung Lung Chau! Thanks KC and Spoilt!!

I booked this experience as a present for a friend who is a more experience climber. I went along as a complete beginner. KC is very patient and professional and tailored the day to match both of our abilities. He was also very encouraging and offered great advice on how to approach the various climbs. I was able to learn the basics and attempt some easier climbs and KC took the time to set some more challenging routes for my friend. This made the experience really enjoyable for both of us. I would definitely recommend this experience to climbers of all abilities. If you tell KC what you want from the day he will tailor the day to match your experience and ability. I particularly enjoyed the abseiling experience.

Had an awesome day with KC. We initially picked Shek O but the weather condition on the day just wasn’t ideal. We were glad that KC suggested us to go to Chai Wan instead. The weather condition & site there were pleasant and great for beginners like my partner and I. KC was thorough, clear & patient, taught us the basics from tying knots to climbing, abseiling down, trusting and working with your partner to complete the experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing day out with KC. my wife and I did Sheko, perfect for beginners. KC was really friendly, met us on time, taught us with clear instructions in English, beautiful setting in Sheko. He set up two different climbing routes and we did abseiling too. KC was totally flexible about how long we wanted to do the climbing. All in all, great experience

Fantastic day all round. The instructor (KC) was very friendly, easy-going and was clearly an expert in his field. The day was completely ours so we could spend as much or as little time as we wanted - The flexibility provided was great. The cliffs were of varying degrees of difficulty too so there's a challenge for everyone. Would highly recommend.

Brandon and I had a really wonderful day with KC. The entire experience from the pick up to the drop off was extremely well planned out by our guide KC. While rock climbing can seem quite dangerous, I can ensure you that KC is extremely good at what he does and makes you feel safe the entire time. He has that really great combination of being motivational enough to make sure you challenge yourself without pushing you too far. This is absolutely something we will do again!! A wonderful new way to see Hong Kong!

My husband and I had the most wonderful experience climbing on the island of Tung Lung with our instructor KC.

KC was extremely attentive to detail and taught us how to put on our equipment, tie our climbing ropes and ensure each others safety. We felt completely safe during the entire experience, even though it can be a little scary to climb 10 meters in the air!

KC had brought climbing shoes for both of us which made it a lot easier to climb on the super steep cliffs facing the ocean (very beautiful spot, btw!). We are both amazed that we managed to climb the cliff-sides without any help and abseil from a 15-20 meter high cliff-side. All in one day.

We were able to do everything at our own pace and KC was a great teacher.

We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who likes a fun outdoors challenge.

This was a great experience! We have a little experience already with indoor climbing (at V1/V2) but were nervous to climb outdoors. KC was very helpful in giving advice, making sure we were safe the whole time, and planning fun routes. Although the day was a scorcher, Cape Colinson was beautiful and we finished the day feeling like we learned a lot. Thanks to KC!

KC was an excellent instructor. He was very patient and informative. Never did I question his ability and felt very safe throughout the experience. It was our first outdoor rock climbing experience and definitely won't be our last.

We picked the Cape Collision destination due to it being on Hong Kong Island. We met at 9:45am and arrived at Cape Collision by 10:30am (Short taxi ride + short hike).

This was an off the grid experience so be prepared for no bathrooms and wilderness. Sunscreen, food and lots of water (we brought 2 big bottles (1.5L each) of water along with a bottle of pocari and we still ran out). It was unfortunate that we picked the hottest day of 2015 to do this (36.5 degrees according to HK Obs.). It was physically challenging and strenuous but well worth the experience.

Locations are public areas so expect other climbing enthusiast in the area. My advice would be to be aware of other climbers and to pay attention to falling debris..

Great experience!

It's hard to believe that I started out the day knowing absolutely nothing about rock climbing, and at the end, I was tying double figure 8 knots (just so you know, I'm a butterfingers!), climbing and belaying with confidence! KC, our instructor, was very patient, supportive and sure, which made me feel 100% safe the whole time. We went to Beacon Hill, which is a magnificent place to climb with beautiful views of Hong Kong, especially when you make it to the top - which you will!

I bought the voucher as a gift and we had an amazing time climbing Beacon Hill. Both of us had some experience as indoor climbers but were looking to develop more outdoor skills. KC showed us how to lead climb some challenging routes and was extremely helpful with mapping out the Crux of some routes. He let us set the pace of our climbing but he also made sure we were safe. It was a great day out and a one of kind HK experience.

Rock Climbing in Hong Kong is amazing. You get to see some beautiful landscape. The instructor, KC, is patient and experienced, you always feel safe with him but at the same time he is able to choose fun rock climbing routes for you. The climbing itself is a real full-body workout and you'll be sore all over the next day, but it's definitely worth it!

I’ve been to the Beacon Hill and Cape Collinson site and both location have routes suitable for beginners like me. With enough work out and challenge to make you feel absolutely great about yourself once you had completed a line. Apart from climbing, you will also find beautiful scenery your wouldn't expect to see in a concrete jungle like Hong Kong.
Coach KC is very experienced. With his expertise, patience and guidance, I had a wonderful time climbing and cannot wait for the next trip! Remember to bring enough water for drinking and washing. Another tip for the ladies, bring along an umbrella to cover yourself when nature calls :P
