Most people heading to the figure-of-eight-shaped Kau Sai Chau — the largest island off the Sai Kung Peninsula and considered a Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark geosite — visit only the top half to play golf at Hong Kong’s sole public golf course. Yet on its southernmost tip, out of sight over gently rolling hills, is a rarely seen fishing hamlet, Kau Sai Fishermen Village — the island’s only settlement, which seems little changed over time. Hire a sampan to this picturesque village, home to barely a dozen families and a historic temple, separated by a narrow strait from Jin Island. These waters shelter floating fish farm rafts where you can enjoy recreational fishing activities and unwind by the sea.
The village store and also the last-but-one house as you turn left from Kau Sai Fishermen Village Pier, sells drinks from an outdoor fridge and offers a selection of ‘fishing village dishes’ chalked up on a blackboard.
Take any public transport to Sai Kung Town Centre (for instance, bus 92 from MTR Diamond Hill Station or bus 299X from Sha Tin Central Bus Terminus) and walk to the waterfront. Here you'll find stalls selling sampan and speedboat tickets to various islands off Sai Kung. You'll have to negotiate a price for your journey to Kau Sai Fishermen Village, and specify when you would like your boat captain to return to pick you up. Prices will likely be higher at busy times such as holiday weekends.
Alternatively, transportation from Sai Kung to Kau Sai Fish Culture Zone and a visit to Kau Sai Fishermen Village is included in the fishing session booking; you could join the Sai Kung Volcanic Rock Region Sea Tour from the Volcano Discovery Centre next to the bus station, which calls in at Kau Sai Fishermen Village; it’s best to book ahead by calling 2394 1538. Visit the official website for more information.
Your water transport will come back to collect you at the time you arranged, but as a precaution, make sure you take note of the mobile phone number of the sampan or speedboat captain.
