From now on, I might start or end my trip in Macau!…read more This option of taking a ferry to and from Hong Kong International Airport just such a convenient option. Especially when you are taking an International flight with the airlines you are flying that participate the program. Important to make sure that you check the ferry schedule especially if you have a flight to catch! You will need your passport and your flight ticket reference when buying your ferry ticket since you have to be departing Hong Kong the same day in order to take advantage of this arrangement. Once you get off the ferry ride, you would arrive at the restricted zone at HKG, you will find your respective airlines check in counters to drop off your luggage and pick up your boarding pass if needed. The best part is you would get a refund of your HKG portion of your airport tax in cash and there is practically no lines to clear immigration and security and even lines for check in! You might want to avoid this route though during Typhoon Season as the ferry ride might be rough and there might not even have ferry services. Please make sure you do have a Plan B. I was lucky as the weather was nice and I looking forward to another ferry ride in the future.

Easy and quick way to get over to a number of different destinations from the Airport!…read more We took the ferry to Macau after arriving from Seattle. Easy to find in the terminal and the line moves pretty quickly. It was something like $30 per person for tickets and because we carried on our luggage, we were able to catch the 7pm ferry despite buying tickets about 6:45. He actual ferry entrance is just around the corner and has a couple big escalators- very exciting for our little dudes! The actual ride was comfortable and took about 75 minutes. Went through customs after we got to Macau and it went as smooth as it ever has! WiFi on the boat was free and there were refreshments for purchase. Was a very good time indeed!

The island is small yet has everything you'll need: good eats, seafood, dim sum, and a great place to just browse around. It's a 45-mins ferry ride from Central Ferry. Take a breather from the hustle and bustle of the faster pace in HK-Kowloon and enjoy a few hours here!

Traveling between islands…read more.. The country of Hong Kong is composed of hundreds of islands... Getting from one island to the other is made possible by the ferry system. We used the Octopus card to pay the fees. The card is like a debit card which can be loaded at places such as 7-Eleven stores. There's a waiting area if you are early to board. A convenience store is strategically placed at the entrance for your snacking needs. Inside, the ferry is air conditioned and has cusioned seats. The ride is so smooth that one time, while we sat on the upper level, we had to be told that it was time to disembark! Note: eating and drinking is allowed upstairs. No food or drink consumption allowed downstairs. I enjoy the scenery along the way. We see beaches as well as lush, green foliage! The calm waters of the Bay are sparkling with magic!

Compared to using the piers in Central and TST to go to Macau, this one has its pros and cons:…read more Pros: - it's much less chaotic than the other ones. No need to read the signs trying to figure out which terminal is your ferry's, lining up to wait-list for an earlier departure, or navigating your way among many travelers toting luggages. - with fewer passengers and a much smaller pier it's much faster to get in and out through immigration and the building. - it's much newer, and hence cleaner. Cons: - While Central has ferries as frequent as 15 mins apart, here it can be 2 or 3 hours. You really need to consult the timetable before showing up. - Departures from Tuen Mun charges a pier fee which adds $28 to each ticket, compare to other piers. - There are restaurants and a mall a short walk away but once inside the building there is hardly anything available.

Since the Macau ferry line (Turbo jet) started running late Jan 2016, this pier has made life so…read moremuch better for those traveling to Macau. Slow adjustments to the terminal have been made. It's clean, functional and even has a small cafe for you to wait at. Other ferry lines include Tai O / Tung Chung / sha Lo wan - pretty good for a one day outing with them family. The turbo jet counter service is great, same goes for almost all the people you will encounter after.

Nathan did a fantastic job of showing us around HK and introducing us to the cuisine. The small…read moregroup setting is nice as it allows you to interact with others throughout the day. The stops included a traditional dim sum restaurant (average), a bbq pork spot (very good), a noodle shop (ok), a milk tea vendor (ok), and ended with an egg tart (worth skipping). I actually didn't feel like I ate very much on the tour. The dim sum spot offered the best chance to fill up but it was first and we were advised to pace ourselves. My advice would be, order lots of pork at the bbq place and don't be shy about what you want at the dim sum spot. Food wise I don't feel you get a great value on your tour but you do get your money's worth from the guide. Nathan's emails after the tour were a huge help in planning the rest of our trip. He provided lots of recommendations for bars, restaurants, day trips, etc. During the tour he was very informative and I learned a lot.

Niya was an AMAZING tour guide. She showed us the real Hong Kong and brought us to several food and…read moredrink spots that I would have never thought to stop at if I were on my own. Her food and drink recommendations were spot on as well. She gave us all kinds of facts on the local culture, the history, Chinese medicine, and backgrounds of all the places we visited. She also followed up with emails of our great photo moments and lots of info on spots to visit and nightlife in HK. If I didn't know better, I would have thought she lived her whole life here!! It was a pleasure spending the day with her eating, drinking, and running around the city. I'd recommend this tour to everyone with a few hours to spare while in HK - it's something you'll never experience on your own.

This is a must-do activity! I highly recommend taking the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car instead of the…read morebus. While the bus is cheaper and good for people who are afraid of heights, it takes much longer, about 50 to 60 minutes. The mountain roads are also very winding, which can make some people feel dizzy. My husband and I rode the Crystal Cabin to see the Big Buddha on our last trip. Since it was our daughters' first time in Hong Kong, we really wanted them to try it, too. They do have regular cabins without clear floors, but none of us are scared of heights, so we happily chose the glass-bottom one. We bought our tickets early on Klook. It was much cheaper than buying them at the gate. We also chose to visit on a weekday, which was a great choice because it was not crowded at all. I still remember our last visit ten years ago was super packed, and people had to wait in huge lines just to get on. The cable car ride takes about 25 minutes each way. We only bought a one-way ticket this time because we wanted to visit Tai O Fishing Village afterward. It was a fun, smooth, and beautiful 25-minute ride. We loved looking down at the green hills, seeing waterfalls, and watching the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery come into view. Surprisingly, it was not hot at all, and it felt pretty cool up there on the mountain. It was truly amazing!

No where will you get a full view of the Hong Kong airport (unless you decide to climb up a mountain). This is my second time visiting and still very memorable and worthwhile. We got there around 10am on a Saturday and purchased tickets at the gate and didn't have a wait. Weekend tickets are more expensive, but we didn't have a choice with our schedule. I opted for the crystal glass cabin which I highly recommend for that full 360 degrees experience. The cabin has a clear glass bottom. The line for the crystal glass cabin is significantly shorter than the standard one too so avoiding the wait alone is worth it. Each one way ride is actually longer than I thought it would be so well worth the price. There's of course the giant Buddha to see at the top. There's also a few hiking trails. There are a lot of restaurant options at the top, but I suggest having lunch at their vegetarian cafe by the monastery- it's unique and delicious .
