If you are a newbie to rock climbing, join us on this easy rock climbing adventure in Shek O. Located on the south-east side of Hong Kong island, Shek O is one area worth exploring. The spot is popular for rock climbing and abseiling, especially for beginners given the availability of easily accessible routes.
The crags on Shek O are located towards the small cape of Tai Tau Chau and offer an enjoyable experience in a beautiful setting.
Though the number of routes here is fewer as compared to other locations; in terms of difficulty, these are just perfect for beginners and children. Of the three climbing routes, Rubble Zawn and Main face involve sports climbing, while Gaping Zawn incorporates traditional climbing.
We will explore the route according to your preference. Get ready to see panoramic vistas of the beautiful city of Kowloon all along.
We will begin from Shau Kei Wan station and take a bus to the Shek O. Once there, we will set on our hike to the climbing site. At the site, we will first brief you about the safety instructions. Here, you will also learn some easy climbing techniques. And, post-demo, you will be ready to scale!
You will climb for a couple of hours on solid granite slabs before taking a lunch break. You will continue to climb post-lunch and finish by evening to end this incredible trip.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
