Travelers often make 4 mistakes at Hong Kong’s Lantau Island

Lantau Island is the largest island in Hong Kong and right next to the Hong Kong Airport.

 

It is travelers’ must-go Hong Kong sightseeing point.

However, travelers often make mistakes when they visit this famous island.

 

Made in Hong Kong Frank the tour guide is going to show readers travelers’ four common mistakes at Lantau Island in this post.

• Start Lantau trip at noon
• Take round trip Ngong Ping Cable Car ride
• Have full day Lantau Island only tour
• Visit Tai O too early

 

Frank the tour guide’s easy Lantau Island private tour can bring you to Big Buddha, Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car and Tai O Fishing Village easily.

 

Frank looks forward to showing clients the beautiful Lantau Island during the private tour service soon after the pandemic.

Start Lantau trip at noon 

A lot of travelers has a long Hong Kong to-do list.

However, they don’t have a good sense of time!

 

They start their TIY (tour it yourselves) journey late.

If you start your Lantau sightseeing trip at noon, you won’t be able to compete with the early birds.

You need to wait in long lines at the Ngong Ping Cable Car Terminus, bus terminus and Lantau blue taxi stand.

 

You just waste a lot of your valuable sightseeing time.

Frank the tour guide’s half day Lantau Island private tour can help you to dodge the crowds, visit Big Buddha and take cable car early and easily.

 

5: “like an ultra private tour…”

5Review: Great service, prompt pickup, Frank and drivers were very professional and the tour was very pleasant. We strategically arrived at the destination where the crowds haven’t formed and it felt like an ultra private tour. (Browse private tour page)

Frank’s response: Thank you very much, Kathy! We know good transportation is the precondition for the success of the Lantau Island Big Buddha private car tour. So we adopt the private car + private Lantau taxi + Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car formula, which has the efficiency with a reasonable price, to bring clients to go back and forth the Big Buddha easily and enjoyably. When the cable car service resumes in June 2017, our half day 4-hour Lantau Island Big Buddha private car tour will be perfect! (Message Frank to plan YOUR private tour)

 

Take round trip Ngong Ping Cable Car ride 

Travelers need to pay more to buy the round trip Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car tickets.

 

But travelers will see less if they do so!

 

As you take the cable car to go back and forth the Ngong Ping Big Buddha, you will miss the great view of the southern part of Lantau Island.

Frank the tour guide’s Lantau Island private tour includes one-way Lantau taxi ride.

 

Clients can see the beautiful beaches, native people’s villages, giant Shek Pik Reservoir and natural landscape on south Lantau during the easy Lantau taxi ride to go to the Big Buddha.

Frank’s response: Thank you for your five-star rating for the Lantau Island Big Buddha private car tour, Neil! It is important to arrange the transportation in advance to overcome the bad traffic of Lantau Island. The well-planned Lantau Island Big Buddha private car tour can help the travelers to visit Big Buddha and take the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car easily and comfortably.

Have full day Lantau Island only sightseeing tour

When they plan their trips, a lot of travelers assign a lot of time for Lantau Island sightseeing as they think that Lantau is the biggest island in Hong Kong.

Actually if you begin early and take good timing, you can finish visiting Big Buddha and enjoying the cable car ride in one morning.

 

In the afternoon, you may go to Disneyland with your kids.

 

Also Frank the tour guide’s easy full day 8-hour Hong Kong private tour service can help you to say hello to Big Buddha at Po Lin Monastery in the morning and go to Hong Kong Island or New Territories in the afternoon after the local dim sum lunch.

5 Review: Frank was the very BEST guide! He had our morning to Lantau Island planned & timed perfectly. Frank took us for lunch at a delicious local Chinese restaurant. We spent the afternoon on Hong Kong Island seeing antiques & temples on our way to magnificent Victoria Peak with no waiting in line. Frank is knowledgeable, fun and spoke great English. Frank & his driver, Ringo are an excellent team. We had a fabulous experience. A 10 star tour!!! (Browse private tour page)

Frank’s response: Thank you very much Diane! Hong Kong & Lantau Island full day private car tour covers the most famous Victoria Peak, the Big Buddha and enjoy Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car ride in an 8-hour private tour easily and enjoyably. Tour also includes local dim sum lunch. The well-planned and all-inclusive program lays the foundation for the tour’s success and clients’ easy and enjoyable private car tour experience!

You can have your passports ready.

After visiting the largest Buddhist temple in Hong Kong, Po Lin Monastery, in the morning, you can use the longest bridge-cum-tunnel, Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge, to go to another city, Macau, to see the Catholic World Heritage site, St. Paul’s Ruins, in the afternoon.

 

This is what clients can get in the full day Lantau Island Macau private car tour.

Visit Tai O too early

Timing is very important.

If you go to the right place at the wrong time, you will miss something very important.

If travelers visit Tai O in the morning, travelers can only see the traditional fishing village culture.

 

It is better to go to Tai O in the late afternoon because you can also see the amazing sunset.

 

Frank the tour guide’s easy Lantau Big Buddha Tai O sunset private tour can help you to enjoy cable car ride, say hi to Buddha and see the beautiful Tai O sunset.

The longer version even bring clients to see the Symphony of Lights Laser Show at night and includes the local dinner.

Frank’s response: Thanks Lynn! Lantau Big Buddha Tai O Sunset Private Car Tour offers you the best transportation and timing to take the Ngong Ping Cable Car, visit the Big Buddha and enjoy the sunset at Tai O! (Message Frank to plan YOUR private tour)
