You can only get to Lantau island by cable car. The views are excellent. Dont bother with the crystal car, there is really nothing to see below you. There are some 200 steps up to the Big Buddha which looks and felt a by daunting but many small children managed the climb.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! I’m delighted you enjoyed the incredible views on Lantau Island and that the climb to the Big Buddha was such a rewarding highlight. We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and recommendation.

We had an amazing time on this trip! The weather was a bit chilly and foggy, but it didn’t take away from the experience, even though we couldn't see the Tian Tan Buddha. We got to try a variety of local foods in Tai-O that we can’t find back home and enjoyed the area. Our guide was not only friendly but also took fantastic photos and was incredibly kind. We highly recommend this day trip!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It’s great to know that the experience, from exploring Tai O and trying local foods to spending time with your friendly guide, still made the day special. We’re especially glad you appreciated the photos and the personal touches from your guide. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us!
We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future — hopefully with clearer skies and more great memories.

This tour was absolutely splendid! Our guide, Kiyo took care of us as he showed us around Lantau Island. He ensured we had a fabulous experience and arranged our schedule to beat the crowds. We especially enjoyed his food recommendations and sense of humor. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the sights on Lantau Island.

Lydia was absolutely fantastic. She is very personable plus she is a licensed guide so knows a lot about the area. She was very supportive of making it easier since one of us has some ability issues. She suggested upgrades as needed. After the tour of the Buddha, she took us to a wonderful fishing village for a ride on a boat to see dolphins and then have a nice local lunch. I wish we had met her the day before and had two days with her instead of just one. Kent
Response from Host, Apr 2024

We were so happy with our day in Lantau Island and our capable and informative guide,Alfred. With his knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment, we got to experience everything we could have hoped for on our all day excursion. His suggestions led to a better day than we could have imagined.
After meeting us at our hotel, we had a bus ride and two ferry rides to get to Lantau Island with lots of information from Alfred on the way! We were excited to get to Tai O traditional fishing village, to see its connected houses built on stilts, to see so many new and different dried fish products, to visit some temples and to be lucky enough to see the Pink dolphins on a boat ride before lunch. We had lunch at the historical Tai O Historical Hotel with its great food and great views.
We then took a taxi to save time and get to the site of the Great Buddha which is 112 feet tall. It is a magnificent structure and the surrounding six bronze goddesses and views from the surrounding walkway up top are worth climbing the 268 steps.
We took time to walk the Wisdom Path and see the wooden columns with their engravings. Then it was on to the Ngong Ping 360 for one of the most amazing cable car rides ever. 25 minutes of beautiful vistas of the mountains, the relocated airport, and the Macao bridge. We were able to access the subway after finishing our cable car ride and return to our hotel.
Through all the day’s activities, Alfred gave us lots of information and a great day. His commitment to making the most of our time meant we were able to see so much more than we anticipated!
