21st March : Lamma Island

The Fridayhikers are a group of friends who go hiking for leisure. Depending on the weather and road conditions, the hiking route may be subject to change without prior notice. Participants joining the hikes do so at their own will and at their own risk. They may consider buying their own insurance for better protection. The hike leaders, the organizers and any other participants in the hikes are exonerated from any liabilities and claims as a result of any accidents or losses arising.


Dear Fridayhikers,

We are going to Lamma Island this Friday.   As the only suitable ferry to Sok Ku Wan is as early as 8:35am,  I've decided that we start from Yung Shue Wan instead.  From Yung Shue Wan, we will walk to Sok Ku Wan where we can have our lunch and then take the ferry back to Central or to Aberdeen.    This is a familiar route for most of us, of gentle gradient and takes a little more than 2 hours only.  We can make a small detour at the top of the hill to look at the rocks on our way. 

At Sok Ku Wan, you can opt to walk on to Mo Tat Wan and back if you need more exercise.  You can also walk up Ling Kok Shan and down.   Please note that the roundabout route Sok Ku Wan - Ling Kok Shan - Mo Tat Wan - Sok Ku Wan needs  2.5 hours. 


Meeting time:  9:00 am  (Boat to Yung Shue Wan departs 9:10am)

Meeting place:  Lamma Island Ferry Pier at Central  (Across from IFC)


Please check the ferry timetable for ferries from Sok Ku Wan to HK Island to meet your need.  The time below is for reference only:

To Central from Sok Ku Wan:  12:40    14:35    16:05
To Aberdeen from Sok Ku Wan:  11:45   13.15    15:40


Please bring enough water, snacks, sungear, raingear, etc.  If you are not lunching at Sok Ku Wan, please bring enough snacks to sustain yourself until you return to the city.
