Immerse yourself in the captivating allure of the stilt-house laden fishing village via an intimate small boat tour. This 20-minute journey offers a glimpse into the lives of villagers residing over the water and a tour of the notable landmarks nestled on the hillside, such as General's Rock and the Tai O Heritage Hotel. Give it a go as it only costs you around HKD 25 - 40! (Different companies offer varying prices. It's advisable to first make a price comparison)

As soon as you arrive at Tai Chung Bridge, you'll find numerous booths offering boat tours with various itineraries, some of which even include Chinese White Dolphin (中華白海豚) watching. But do not get your hopes up as the possibility of catching glimpses of the heavenly creature is dim ever since the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, causing a huge decrease in its number. So, the standardized one is good enough to get some good views of the water town with some sea breeze blowing.

But sometimes things do come for free if you happen to visit the village on weekends. You can indeed catch the free boat rides that lead you to the picturesque Yi O – a tiny village that stretches away south from Tai O downtown at 11 am, 1 pm, or 3 pm at Tai O Pier. You can even go for a short hike along the coastal walkway or visit Yi O Farm before taking the free ride back.
