How to Travel from Hong Kong to Macau by Ferry – Out of Town Travel News

The metropolises of Macau and Hong Kong are two Chinese special administrative regions along the coast of China. Macau is also known as the Las Vegas of Asia due to a series of casinos and glamorous malls on the strip of Cotai, which serves as the junction between the Islands of Taipa and Coloane. The two cities are on opposite sides of the Pearl River Delta. The two cities can be visited via helicopters, ferries, or by driving the longest sea bridge in the world that joins these two cities. Taking a ferry ride from Hong Kong to Macau is very relaxing and does not take much of your money or time.

When there was no bridge present to connect the two cities, taking a ferry ride was the best option to travel. The ferry from Hong Kong to Macau takes about 1 hour. Turbo Jet and Cotai Water Jet are two of the many services that provide ferry rides from Hong Kong to Macau several times during a day. All the ferries depart from the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal. The basic traveling cost starts from 171 dollars and goes way up according to the traveling class and services.

There are 4 ferry terminals for traveling from Hong Kong to Macau; each one of these terminals provides the most hassle-free transport to people.

This is the most chosen terminal for traveling due to its frequent ferry departures. The Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal is located close to the IFC Towers, Shun Tak Centre, Hong Kong Island. There is a ferry available at this terminal every 15 minutes.

Favored for its good location, the China Ferry Terminal is located in Tsim Sha Tsui. It is located a kilometer away from the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry and can be reached by walk or by taking a cab to 33 Canton Road.

Traveling from Hong Kong to Macau has become easy for international tourists as well. The Sky Pier Terminal located next to the airport allows the visitors to board the ferry directly after they arrive at the Hong Kong International Airport.

Tuen Mun Ferry Terminal is not for those people who are living in the central part of the city and people living near the New Territories can take advantage of this terminal. However, the departure schedule of the ferries must be considered since only 10 ferries depart from this terminal in a day.
