Lonely Planet review for Sampan Tours

Sampan tours can easily be arranged along Aberdeen Promenade, which runs south and parallel to Aberdeen Praya Rd. You can have your choice of private operators, which generally mill around the eastern end of the promenade, or licensed operators registered with the HKTB, such as the Aberdeen Sampan Company (2873 0649; Aberdeen Praya Rd). The private sampans usually charge around $55 per person for a 30-minute ride (about $110 to Sok Kwu Wan and $130 to Yung Shue Wan on Lamma), though you should easily be able to bargain this down if there are several of you. Ferries to several spots on Lamma also operate from the promenade, as well as infrequent services to Stanley and Po Toi island. The promenade is easily accessed from Aberdeen bus terminus. To get to it just take the pedestrian subway under Aberdeen Praya Rd.

    ummmmm old boat with a motor anyone

    mickyclark does not recommend this,

    Well if in your mind you picture enjoying a pleasant cruise along a picturquise waterfront then you are in the wrong place - the Sampan Tour is really a tour of HK industrial fishing port - while the boat looks authentic you dont really need to pay for a ride in one to admire it. I recommend spend money elsewhere.
