Hong Kong to Macao by ferry

For those who live on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon South, the easiest way to get to Macao is by sea via two high-speed ferry operators. Turbojet sails to and from the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan to Taipa and the Macao Peninsula – or Outer Harbour – with departures as frequent as every 30 minutes during peak hours. Turbojet also services the China Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui to Taipa twice a day. Cotai Water Jet, meanwhile, works exclusively for the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal Taipa line with similar frequencies.

Both carriers take you to Macao in around an hour with fares ranging from HK$175 to HK$415 depending on weekday or weekend, day or night sail, as well as the choice between regular and premium classes. The extra dollars will buy you a more spacious seat as well as priority boarding and disembarkation.

Tuen Mun Ferry Terminal’s sailings to Macao were terminated in June 2021. Residents of Northwestern New Territories can instead hop on a shuttle bus that will transport you across the picturesque Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB).

Inbound air travellers to Hong Kong can opt to transit to Macao Maritime Ferry Terminal (XZM, also known as Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal) at the SkyPier right at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). Operated by Turbojet and located within a restricted area of the airport, this service is limited to those transiting. Cathay passengers can enjoy the company’s air-to-sea service by purchasing their flights and transit as one single ticket during booking through our website or an agent (for selected routes)*. Passengers of other airlines can simply purchase their ticket to Macao at SkyPier after landing and pick it up at E2 transfer area an hour before departure time  and wait for your ride at the SkyPier.
