Description

If you are a newbie to rock climbing, join us on this easy rock climbing adventure in Shek O. Located on the south-east side of Hong Kong island, Shek O is one area worth exploring. The spot is popular for rock climbing and abseiling, especially for beginners given the availability of easily accessible routes. 

The crags on Shek O are located towards the small cape of Tai Tau Chau and offer an enjoyable experience in a beautiful setting.

Though the number of routes here is fewer as compared to other locations; in terms of difficulty, these are just perfect for beginners and children. Of the three climbing routes, Rubble Zawn and Main face involve sports climbing, while Gaping Zawn incorporates traditional climbing.

We will explore the route according to your preference. Get ready to see panoramic vistas of the beautiful city of Kowloon all along.

We will begin from Shau Kei Wan station and take a bus to the Shek O. Once there, we will set on our hike to the climbing site.  At the site, we will first brief you about the safety instructions. Here, you will also learn some easy climbing techniques. And, post-demo, you will be ready to scale!

You will climb for a couple of hours on solid granite slabs before taking a lunch break. You will continue to climb post-lunch and finish by evening to end this incredible trip.

The trip is an excellent way of letting go off your fears and grab onto your confidence as a climber. No previous experience is required, however, it is recommended to have a fit body.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard

Our first time with Explore-Share. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Extremely good value, very well organised with attention to detail. We travel widely and this has by far been the best of experiences. Well done to all concerned. We are already looking at booking another trip!
