Outdoor Team-Building Activities
There’s nothing like stepping out of a stuffy, air-conditioned office into the beauty of nature to encourage team bonding and building. And given that Hong Kong has so many great natural wonders, it’d be positively criminal not to indulge in something active for your big group outing.
Hiking
Hikes can be a great place to start but make sure that the difficulty level is suitable for all your colleagues. Looking for a route close to the office? We recommend both Lady Clement’s Ride to Aberdeen Country Park and Wong Nai Chung Reservoir to Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir which are both just a short taxi ride away from the Central business district.

Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre
If a hike feels too strenuous then we’d consider renting pedal boats or surrey bikes over at Disneyland’s Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre. A 15-minute walk away from the main park, the lake boasts shimmering water, a fountain and scenic mountain views.
Sassy Tip: There’s also an arboretum — a woodsy park-like area next to the lake — which is perfect for picnics and a gentle stroll.
