What to do and see in Hong Kong, China: The Best Ferries
Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

Our hotel is booked in Tsim Sha Tsui HK and Cotai Water Jet HK China Ferry Terminal is just 10 mins away. Our departure to Macau is at 12:15, we left our hotel at 11:45, arrived at the terminal at 12:00 and we were boarding before 12:15. The online reservation I did, the less lines in immigration, custom less scanning is very convenient. No stress and we even maximized the morning in HK. Their fleet is designed by Austal shipyard of Australia. I recommend this ferry service and terminal if your hotel is near the area because it is less crowded than the other terminal - HK Macau Ferry terminal which is farther than Tsim Sha Tsui. The ride took approximately 1 hour an d very comfortable. We arrived at Macau's Taipa Ferry terminal. Special disability access is also provided for those in need and the terminal is very clean, less crowded and spacious. The regular ticket costs us around HKD 171 per person. So, if you plan to go to Macau and stay around Tsim Sha Tsui then this is what you need.

A comfortable return trip to Mui Wo from Central on the ordinary (slow) ferry. We travelled deluxe class, which offers airconditioned comfort away from the crowds. Well worth the extra few dollars to upgrade the seats from those downstairs.

We used the Turbojet services roundtrip between Hong Kong and Macau - excellent service and a fun and exciting experience. Both ways the trips were on time and comfortable with very nice service in the terminals and onboard. We used Super Class which provided more comfortable seating (and it was not full so room to spread out) and food service - we were more than satisfied. Premier Grand Class is available on some departures but probably not worth the money for the hour journey. A jetfoil ride is an essential part of a day trip to Macau from Hong Kong! Note that complimentary shuttle buses are available to all passengers to/from the Macau ferry terminal to all major hotel-casinos.
