Good to know

It runs between 16 Chan Man Street in Sai Kung Town and Sai Kung Sai Wan Road near the pavilion, with no stops in between. The fare is HK$19. It isn't in our planner, so the times below come from the Transport Department's timetable of 27 December 2025.
  • NR29, Sai Kung to Sai Wan Pavilion. Weekdays: 8:30, 9:15, 11:30am, 3:30pm. Weekends and public holidays: 8:30, 9:15, 10:00, 11:00, 11:30am, 3:30, 4:15, 4:45pm.

  • Coming back from Pak Tam Au, bus 94 runs to Sai Kung. On weekends and public holidays bus 289R also runs from Sha Tin to Pak Tam Au. Allow plenty of daylight: in late autumn it gets dark early, and the trail between Ham Tin and Pak Tam Au is unlit.
