If you find yourself in Hong kong, then it's easier than ever to visit another country (Macau), without spending any special money and time, using the ferry Hongkog-Macau. It is just as easy to sail back and forth from Macau to Hong Kong. Since Macau is famous for its gambling and casinos, many Hong Kongers go there for the weekend or even for a day..

Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Schedule and Back
Travel time is about an hour. The ferry goes very fast.
The ticket price is 150-160 HKD for regular economy class. Others are more expensive.
Several ferries operate between Hong Kong and Macau. The most popular are TurboJet and Cotai Water Jet, there is also First Ferry, but I didn't find its website..
TurboJet Ferry Schedule
CotaiJet Ferry Schedule
Ferries run every half hour from 7 am to 12 am. There are also several overnight ferries. Also, when you look at the schedule, pay attention to the specific place of departure and place of arrival, because there are different terminals in Hong Kong and Macau, and accordingly, the schedule will differ depending on this. About this below.
Terminals in Hong Kong and Macau
There are three terminals in Hong Kong from where ferries to Macau leave:
- Kowloon Peninsula (China Ferry Terminal) next to Tsim Sha Tsui MTR Station
- Hong Kong Island (Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal) next to Sheung Wan station
- Chek Lap Kok International Airport (SkyPier).
Macau has two terminals:
- On the Macau Peninsula (Macau Outer Harbor Ferry Terminal)
- On Taipa Island (Taipa Ferry Terminal)
My ferry sailed from the Kowloon Peninsula to the Macau Peninsula, so I then took a bus to Taipa Island to Macau airport (direct bus), left my things in the luggage room at the airport (in the evening there was a flight from Macau). And after that again on the bus (bus numbers are in google meps) and went again to the island of Macau, where he walked around the city and looked at the casino. It would have been more convenient to sail directly to Taipa Island, but there was no ferry suitable for me in time, they go there much less often.
