About
If you have ever seen a red iconic traditional Chinese junk boat sailing in the Victoria Harbour -- either online or in person, you might have seen Dukling before. While there are still a few junk boats sailing in the harbor, most are modern boats modelled after antique ones, and Dukling is the only original traditional Chinese junk boat still operating in Hong Kong. Built in 1955, Dukling is now 68 years old. Before being a harbor cruise, it was used by former fishermen to go fishing and was their home. Because the shape of the hull looks like a duck, the owner named the boat Dukling, meaning Holy Duck. "Dukling" weighs 50 tons and has a length of 18 meters. It is a traditional three-mask Chinese wooden junk boat. Dukling is an icon of Hong Kong, witnessing the growth of Hong Kong from a small fishing village to an international metropolis today. Currently, Dukling offers Victoria Harbour boat tours, including sunset tours, the Symphony of Lights night cruise and daytime tours.

Terrible experience. No customer service
Nov 2022 • Family
I got my tickets in a hotel package and been suspended due to COVID social rules. Then I am told they had private event with KKday and HKSAR 25th anniversary celebration and asked us to change to other programme (which is checking South Island and that is not something we wanted) or just wait for the sailing schedule.

After almost a year waiting, finally they resumed the normal sailing along the Victoria harbor but then when I issue my tickets. They asked me to pay extra for the requested time-slot. They could do their commercial events make money with bigger events then asked us the single ticket user to give way and wait.

And in the end asked us to pay for extra. This is just not nice and why they not arranging fulfilling their tickets before accepting those commercial private event ? I have waited for a year long..

Anyway there are rounds of emails and texts to make things right. I am disappointed and this is not pleasant experience that’s it. Think before you get the tickets they can change it anytime before informing you.

Fantastic
Jan 2020 • Couples
This was without a doubt the highlight of our trip in Hong Kong. We got on the 20h45 junk at Tsim Sha Tsui and cruised around the harbour for 45minutes. We didn't pre book we just turned up 15minutes before, tickets were 230HK$ and a drink is included in the price. The staff on the boat were incredibly helpful, telling us about the route, taking photos for us, helping us up and down the steps. The views were just breath taking. Great value for money, i highly recommend this.

Very relaxing and authentic
Jan 2020 • Family
We originally booked online but needed to move our booking to later as we needed some recovery time after sightseeing up the Peak. Booking staff were very obliging in changing our booking. No problems in finding the departure point in Kowloon with the helpful photos on the website. Probably didn’t need to book ahead though as we were the only people on board as Hong Kong has fewer tourists now. Courtesy blankets were provided as a little cooler on the water (January). Floating around the harbour with a glass of wine and my wife said that’s the most relaxed she’s been in months! Well worth it and sailing a Chinese junk on Hong Kong harbour, one of the great harbour cities in the world, was very special.

Nov 2019 • Friends
This boat trip was the highlight of our trip. Take the 19.30pm trip to see the symphony of lights show from pier 3 at Tsim Sha Tsui to get great views of the show and the city!

The staff were very friendly and informative and you get drink on arrival.

Great tour
Sep 2019
We booked the sunset tour which we both really enjoyed. We were quite lucky that there was only 6 people on our tour so we were able to sit at the back of the boat and we found the trip quite relaxing as there was little ambient noise on the boat.

At the start of the trip we were given a free drink (beer, wine and soft drinks were available). One of the crew members provided a short commentary on the history of the boat and the HK skyline and then allowed us to enjoy the scenery.

This was a great way to end a busy day in HK and I definitely think it was good value for money.

Perfect and relaxing way to enjoy the city line of HK! After walking around all day, this was nice to lay on a lounge bed on the boat.

A bit overpriced
Sep 2018 • Friends
Nice to be traveling HKG Harbour by an original Chinese junk boat... but less than an hour for over HK$200 is a bit too steep...
We did enjoy our journey, as we had great seats and it was not too busy... but unfortunately not such a great value for money and almost feels a bit like a tourist trap...

Duk Ling on Victoria Harbour Hong Kong
Nov 2018 • Family
We joined the Duk Ling after doing a Sampan ride in Aberdeen. We caught the Hop On Hop Off Bus back to Central and then got on the boat. This was my bucket list highlight for Hong Kong to sail on a Chinese Junk. Whilst this boat is not very old it is 90 years old and was fully restored after it sank to the bottom of Victoria Harbour. The crew were delightful and very attentive. We were shown photos of the restoration of the boat, got to try on traditional style sailor clothes and a hat, and then sailed for 45 minutes on the harbour. The view was great, the boat was amazing fun. We all enjoyed our ride. We even bought a little souvenir Duk Ling to bring home. You can buy tickets from the Hop On Hop Off bus or purchase from the Duk Ling when you board. Other reviews have suggested weather as an issue, part of the boat main deck is covered, but if it was raining I would think it would be a little unpleasant. All in all a fantastic experience and well worth the price.
