- LondonLockwood0 contributionsJust Awesome ..This was a perfect way to end our trip ..A cool junk boat ride in Victoria Harbour. The views from the bay were just amazing.. You get a drink included in the price and for 45 minutes just relax and soak up HK from the sea..Great experience.! Aqua Luna tour is superb and a must for any visitor. Choose the late tour ..it's the best. Recommended!!Written May 11, 2024
- StepheyTSC0 contributionsOne of the touristy things to do in HKGreat way to get a view of the city view and lights for around an hour. Took the sunset cruise and had a wine. The front seats are better as it gives you clear views and direct winds. Tad pricey but worth the experience.Written April 7, 2024
- mlharvey860 contributionsLovely EveningThis was a lovely cruise. The staff were very welcoming and I got a great view from my seat. Conscious this maybe one of the pricier options for the cruise but I think it is worth it due to reliability. Would recommend.Written March 25, 2024
- kallen06370 contributionsWe loved this cruise, but skip the Symphony of Lights sailing!The Symphony of Lights in Hong Kong was incredibly underwhelming, but we actually really loved our cruise. The boat is beautiful, the drinks are fine, and it is the perfect amount of time to sail around the harbor and see the city without being too long. I would recommend skipping the Symphony of Lights cruise and going at sunset or after the show is over!Written March 22, 2024
- HUGSSSSSSS0 contributionsSunsetIt was a good activity. Especially on the later sail to experience the lights of Hong Kong. A cocktail was included which was good, however, the drink choice consisted of beer, wine or soft drink, not a cocktail.Written March 20, 2024
- stevegW2370HC0 contributionsa great harbour cruiseExcellent cruise - only around 1 hr but great to see the KH harbour at night. The junk is great fun to be on, with great viewing areas and a free drink for all.Written March 12, 2024
- fieldhack0 contributionsDon't go at 8pmIt was a miserable and freezing cold experience. Started to rain no way to stay dry. The fog rolled in and we could barely see any lightsWritten March 3, 2024
- dianatomatensaft0 contributionsAbsolutely worth it!!!!Highly recommend it! Absolutely worth the expierence and the money! Great view on the skyline of Hongkong. The Boat had super comfy lounge chairs. The free drinks (white wine) was very good. Even though it was 20'C the wind was strong and chilly. The staff immediately handed out blankets! It was just amazing! Would do it again and recommend this tour. Thank you for the great expierence!Written February 26, 2024
- 404kelseyp0 contributionsRelaxing and delicious cruiseThis was a fun cruise around the harbor and the food was delicious! It was a big portion too, we got full. It was colder on the water so bring layers. I would have liked some information about what we were seeing on the cruise, but it was also nice to just chill and watch the shoreline go by. It was a lovely way to spend an hour.Written February 23, 2024
- dianef6340 contributionsHong Kong at nightVery cute ship to view the most beautiful lights of Hong Kong. Easy to locate and we enjoyed the evening. Hong Kong is really nice to visit.Written February 14, 2024
- michael_b_20 contributionsDisappointing trip to see disappointing light showI just don't understand the 4 and 5 star reviews. Firstly the Symphony of Lights laser show is pretty pitiful - a few weak lights emanating from two buildings, moving in time with music, for a few minutes. I was expecting something spectacular but it definitely isn't. Yes the flashing lights are pretty on the various buildings in the Central area of Hong Kong, but it's not a laser show. And actually the view from the boat isn't that much better than just watching from the water's edge at Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon. Secondly, I don't get the benefit of going on an old creaky junk over any other more modern boat. The staff were friendly and you get a complimentary drink thrown in, but I would rather have been on some other boat. Maybe I'm missing something, but based on my experience I just couldn't recommend Aqua Luna.Written February 10, 2024
- Ana v0 contributionsMust have !!!We did twice. One in the night for a light show . Wonderful and unique sail boat . Our waiter was fantastic. You have a glass of wine enjoying this great lights . We repeat during the day around the bay for tea time . Is so memorable. They give you a sweet and salty variety of bites for the tea. The ride is smooth and professional. And you enjoy the magnificent Hong Kong. We love this cityWritten January 18, 2024

Positives:
Amazing view and plenty of room to sit and relax. There was one huge bed where guests could lay down, and it would have been good to have that space to lay down, but you can only secure it if you are among the first in line to enter the boat. There is a beverage service with which you can use to order drinks, and a champagne service which is available only if you order it online when reserving.
Negatives:
The champagne was brought very late, probably because the staff had forgotten, so I had to remind the staff. Also, the music was not matching the ambience in my opinion.

Took about 15 minutes of wandering before we found the spot and eventually lined up at the meeting location on the tickets. There was a staff member at the front of the line, but he never came to check us in. I think we could have just walked on for free without having tickets as everyone else didn't seem to have tickets on them or presented any to the staff. The boat looked cool and the ride wasn't too bad, overall a good one!

The junk has style and was the best boat to cruise the harbour. Seating was limited but sufficient to see the view. The small number of passengers meant nobody in front to spoil the view. The free drink was a can of cold beer and being a warm evening was good. It was lovely to see the Hong Kong skyline both towards the Island and Kowloon but not many skyscrapers or commercial properties providing light shows. Overall good and excellent value for money.

The views and the lighting on the buildings were great. However, there was nothing special about the aqua Luna cruise apart from it being an old imitation junk boat. The laser show itself was very disappointing and certainly nothing like I had imagined it might be like.

The boat ride itself and tour around the bay was great. They take you out to the middle of the bay and you get to see all the buildings that are apart of the light show. Afterwards they cruise around the bay so you get to see the east end too.
My issue was they told me they loaded at Pier 1 at 7:30pm but I couldn't find them there. I had to rush over to Pier 9 by 7:45pm. I got on so that wasn't a big deal but then they told me they would be dropping off at Kowloon instead of heading back to Soho like what was on my itinerary. Minor inconvenience since Star Ferry takes you back for under a buck but still.

Loved the cruise! Exactly what I was hoping it would be, a chill night with cold beer and lots of pretty lights. We both enjoyed it as a finale to our Valentine's Day date! Boat is pretty crowded though, which we didn't mind, but something to be aware of. Also, bottom deck seems better than upper deck for views, as bottom deck gives you a near 360° panoramic view of the skyline.
*Note: this experience is cheaper from the Aqua Luna website. I realized that too late and regretted buying on here.

I was sent on a last minute assignment to Hong Kong for work and decided to treat myself to this nighttime cruise. I also purchased a unlimited drink package. It was nice having beer and wine while watching the light show in Victoria Harbor. The ambience on the boat is great and the views are quite unreal.

Waste of time. “Symphony of lights” was very disappointing. Not enough seating for all passengers. Dropped us off in a different location from where we were picked up which was problematic in terms of getting back to hotel. Take the ferry instead and skip the light show, in my opinion.

My Mum and I turned up early at Pier 9 so were at the front of the queue and excited that we would get a good seat for the symphony of lights show. But when the boat arrived lots of people were already on, we headed to the top deck and the only seats left were in the middle of the boat so if we sat down, we had a view of the back of people's heads. During the light show we had to stand to enjoy it properly. Really they should have reduced price tickets if people want to sit in the middle as it's definitely not the same. Having said that, the boat is very nice, the views are great and you get a glass of wine included. I would recommend but my tip would be sit on the lower deck in the comfy seats for the best views, and embark at the Tsim Sha Tsui side as they seem to board 1st.

Starting with the positives, the view of the Hong Kong skyline from the boat is great and the staff were pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, the light show itself is a bit of a joke. There is supposed to be accompanying music synchronized with the lights, but apparently the boat sound system wasnt working. For the first half of the show everyone was watching in awkward silence and then the music cut in and out with static for the remainder of the show and cruise. Kind of ruined the ambience and experience. Considering the company is charging quite a high price to take the cruise during the light show, a partial refund to the guests and management apology would have been warranted. I would recommend using another company or simply taking the ferry across for the same views at a fraction of the cost.

Why hasn’t my refund been processed? It is over two weeks since the weather meant my trip was cancelled. No one has responded to any of my messages. What is going on??
