Never receive the pictures

Awesome experience! The guide was very friendly and spoke multiple languages, which was great since our group was from all over the world. She also took photos of us and said she would send them, but we never received them. I hope she sees this and remembers to send them!

Must do!

Such a lovely experience! We were warmly provided with tea, water, and thoughtful snacks like saltine crackers and sweets. The two stops gave us about 30 minutes to explore the space at a relaxed, enjoyable pace. Panda and his team partner were incredibly friendly and accommodating, with communication available in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Highly recommend!

The last thing you would think of doing in Hong Kong!

We picked up a speedboat on the jetty in Sai Kong - 5 adults and 2 kids. Our daughter and S-I-L live in Hong Kong and we had been in the small town for breakfast and saw the tour master and negotiated a price for our own speedboat for our group. The sea was choppy which added to the adventure and a 2 hour tour around the islands in the New Territories of HK. The highlight was the basalt rock formations - a UNESCO site-and the sea arches of the islands in a fast boat. Definitely something to consider if you have time to see something different in HK.
