We'll take Bus 9 to Cape D'Aguilar, then walk along the scenic coastal road to discover Thunder Cave, the historic Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouse (built in 1875), Crab Cave, and the iconic whale skeleton. The route is mostly paved and beginner-friendly. Who should sign up? This is a slow/moderate paced leisure hike suitable for beginners, families, and anyone looking for a scenic coastal walk. The trail is mostly flat paved roads with some rocky sections near the caves. Hike Description: We'll meet at Shau Kei Wan MTR Exit A3 and take Bus 9 to Cape D'Aguilar (approx. 20-25 mins). From the bus stop, we'll walk along Cape D'Aguilar Road for about 40 mins to reach the Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouse, Hong Kong's oldest surviving lighthouse (1875, declared monument). Next, we'll visit Thunder Cave (雷音洞), where waves crash against the rocks. We'll then continue to see the iconic whale skeleton (replica installed in late 2025) and the stunning Crab Cave (蟹洞), a natural sea arch. After exploring, we'll return the same way to the bus stop. Total hiking time is approximately 5 hours at a leisurely pace with photo breaks.
