For the adrenaline junkie
Want to channel your inner
Bear Grylls? Concentrating
more on the action-adventure and
less on the drinking your own urine
side of things,
Hong Kong Rock
Climbing Adventures
has a
whole range of experiences that are
bound to set your pulse racing. Try
scaling new heights with an outdoor
rock climbing and abseiling
session
; led by a qualified climbing
instructor, it covers all the need-
to-know techniques and safety
procedures for a full day’s climbing,
as well as intermediate skills like
rope work and belaying for the more
curious. With a range of different
routes available in stunning locations
like Shek O, Beacon Hill and Cape
Collinson, this is suitable for both
newbies and seasoned climbers alike
– and you’re guaranteed some of
the best views in Hong Kong whilst
you’re at it.
Water-baby thrill-seekers might
prefer the
private canyoning
experience
, an action-packed
adventure that’ll see you climbing,
swimming, scrambling on boulders,
jumping into rock pools, navigating
roaring rapids and abseiling down
eight-foot waterfalls; we’re out
of breath just thinking about it.
All the safety equipment for both
experiences is provided… so you just
need to bring the guts to go ahead
with it!

If you’ve got a petrolhead in
the family, a stint at
Sideways
Driving Club
should have them
giving the Top Gear boys a run for
their money quicker than you can
wave a chequered flag. Hong Kong’s
premier virtual racing club offers a
thrills-and-spills experience that’s
one gear up from driving games on
the Playstation, as Sideways’ driving
simulators use exactly the same
software that Formula One teams use
to train their drivers. With heavy-
duty gear shifters and a realistic
steering system and brake pedals,
plus the chance to slipstream, race
and overtake just like on real racing
tracks, it’s the safest way to embrace
your speed demon side – no nasty
crashes guaranteed!
LG/F, 1-2 Chancery Lane, Central.
