Ngan Chau has no residents, no piers and no ferry service, so reaching it means chartering a boat from Peng Chau or another nearby harbour and landing on the shore. The islet lies east of Peng Chau and west of Kau Yi Chau and Siu Kau Yi Chau, north of Hei Ling Chau and Chow Kung Island, so a boat crossing is short but exposed. Check sea conditions before setting out, since the crossing is open water.
