At Hello! Hong Kong Tours, we were honoured to welcome the Stella Maris Tour’s first big pilgrimage group of 2026. Traveling together on a comfortable 50-seater coach, our guests spent six meaningful hours discovering Hong Kong through the lens of faith, history, and everyday life.

This tour was not just about visiting places — it was about understanding how Catholics live and practice their faith in Hong Kong and China, a topic many of our guests were deeply curious about.

From Tung Chung to the Heart of Hong Kong

Our journey began early in the morning in Tung Chung, where we met our guests and set off toward Hong Kong Island’s Central Business District. As we traveled, our guide shared stories about old and new Hong Kong, along with insights into:

The Catholic community in Hong Kong
Catholic life in mainland China
How faith continues to thrive in different cultural settings

These conversations set the tone for a reflective and educational pilgrimage experience.

Morning Mass at St. Joseph’s Cathedral

A key highlight of the tour was attending morning Mass at St. Joseph’s Cathedral, which was personally arranged in advance by the group organiser as part of their pilgrimage. Our role was to align the tour schedule to ensure timely arrival. For many guests, this was a powerful moment — worshipping alongside local Catholics and experiencing faith in a different cultural environment.

Scenic Views and Everyday Hong Kong Moments

After Mass, we continued our journey to the highest point on Hong Kong Island, where guests enjoyed both scenic views and relaxed exploration. Stops included:

Lion’s Pavilion
Local souvenir shops
%Arabica Café
Bakehouse Bakery

These moments allowed our guests to see how faith, daily life, and modern city culture come together in Hong Kong.

Crossing the Harbour to Kowloon

Next, we headed to the harbourfront in Central, where we shared stories of Hong Kong’s transformation through the years. From there, we boarded the iconic Star Ferry, crossing Victoria Harbour together before arriving in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon.

On this side of the harbour, guests explored:

The historic Clock Tower
Star Ferry Lookout
The waterfront Promenade
Avenue of the Stars

Ending the Journey at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal

Our 6-hour tour concluded at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, where our guests continued their pilgrimage by sea — carrying with them new insights, meaningful encounters, and a deeper appreciation of Catholic life in Hong Kong.

More Than a Tour — A Shared Story

For us at Hello! Hong Kong Tours, this experience was more than guiding a group. It was about storytelling, connection, and helping our guests understand how faith is lived across borders. We are grateful to be part of the Stella Maris pilgrimage journey and look forward to welcoming more faith-based groups in the future.
