About Us
Outward Bound Hong Kong is a non-profit and a leading outdoor educational organisation that adopts experiential learning to help people discover and unleash their potential. We are part of an international network that delivers courses in over 30 different countries. Initially operating from a site at Tai Mong Tsai (TMT) in the New Territories, the ‘original’ courses made use of the remote hills, beaches and islands to deliver transformative experiences for youth from a range of backgrounds. The past 55 years have seen significant growth, having developed a remote island base at Wong Wan Chau in the Double Haven Marine Park as well as the Ah Kung Wan training site located close to the TMT base. Given our location, the surrounding coastal waters are the most common location for our courses, although the hills of the nearby Country Parks offer impressive locations for programming at certain times of the year.
