Awesome - The best part of the boat to sit is the far back. Take a coat at night in February. The journey is very good. Would recommend.

Lovely views of the city from the water - Highly recommend jumping on a duckling for a 45 min cruise round Victoria bay and views of both Hong Kong island and Kowloon. Night time cruise offers atmospheric pictures of the city's night lights, but views would also be great on a clear day. The night/evening cruise is separate to the laser light show / illumination tour so choose carefully and wrap up warm if doing this in the cooler months!

Fun experience for everyone - highly recommend the evening option - Great experience for the whole family and a nice way to see both sides of the harbour after dark. The city lights were spectacular! It was a cold, windy evening for our experience so definitely wear warm clothes on cooler weather as the boat is pretty ‘open’.

Excellent experience, the guidecwas very informative and the views were spectacular. - We decided on the 7.30pm trop as it gives you fantastic views on both sides of the bay, and it takes in the 8pm light shows that appear on the buildings

Wonderful experience! - Although we have been many tikes to Hong Kong, this was the first time to do a Harbour Cruise. It was a wonderfull experience! We took the trip at 17.30, you can have a nice view while its still light and also during sunset and when its dark. We had a live guide who told a lot about the history of Hong Kong and also of the Duckling boat. Very friendly and helpfull staff.

Interesting experience, wish they had the sails up. - If you are wanting a night tour of the harbor on a unique boat, then this is a great fit. Good communication by the team, easy to find pickup spot, and just the right amount of time to see the harbor and views. Some negatives are that I expected the red sail to be up like the picture but when we arrived it was down and stayed down. Probably because of the high winds but no explanation was given and it was kind of a let down since that was the deciding factor in me booking this unique boat versus another one with better seats and accommodations. There is a diesel fume smell when docked but when boating the smell goes away.
