DAY 1: Hong Kong Arrival

Is it possible to see all the best sights of Hong Kong in four days? This comprehensive itinerary makes it happen, with a few extra stops along the way. After touching down at the Hong Kong International Airport, jump on a helicopter for a true VIP transfer to the hotel. Take in views of the city while on the way to the hotel.

Catch a sight of Victoria Harbour and the spectacular skyscrapers of Central, then admire the beautiful bays and beaches of South Hong Kong Island. It’s the best of both worlds as the islands, bays, beaches and green mountains contrast the high-rise urban splendour of the island.

After a 30-minute helicopter ride, arrive at the roof of the hotel.

DAY 2: Hong Kong

See why dim sum is a national obsession in Hong Kong. It’s hard to ignore this ubiquitous snack as it is sold in almost every street corner. Dim sum has deep roots in the culinary traditions of the island and today is an opportunity to get a better understanding of it.

Begin with a drive to a dim sum cooking school where a local expert chef will share his secrets for making these magnificent treats. Spend two hours in the kitchen learning how to cook three types of dim sum: shrimp dumplings, shumai and steamed chicken buns. The chef will share traditional recipes that have been perfected over the years. Under his watchful eye, prepare and steam the dim sum treats. There will be plenty of chances to ask questions about various types of dim sum and the best Hong Kong shops for sampling more exotic versions.

After cooking, sit down and enjoy the freshly prepared snacks. The chef will share a copy of his recipes as a reminder of this unique culinary experience.

Follow this up with a private art tour of galleries and artist studios. During the tour, the guide will share knowledge on contemporary art, providing in-depth explanations of the exhibitions as well as descriptions of the artists and their historical importance.

DAY 3: Hong Kong

Today, embark on a teakwood junk boat half-day cruise to Lamma Island to see Hong Kong’s fascinating coastline. Hong Kong is comprised of over 200 islands, many small and remote, and host to a myriad of beautiful beaches. The subtropical climate brings warmth for most of the year creating the perfect environment for boating and cruising.

This resort is the most striking place to experience Mount Fuji

22 April 2026

Most people see Mount Fuji from a distance – either from the Shinkansen window or briefly between buildings in Tokyo. Hanz Outdoor Resort, set directly on the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchiko, offers something meaningfully different. Here, the mountain dominates the view from your villa terrace, from the lake at dawn, and from the open-air thermal baths fed by natural waters sourced from Fuji itself. It's a base that works both for first-time visitors who want to understand why this mountain holds such significance in Japanese culture and for repeat travellers ready to explore the less-visited corners of the Fuji Five Lakes region. The resort has also been featured in National Geographic, Time Out, and described by Metro UK as “the most beautiful campsite they had ever seen”. Here are a few reasons why…
