Ferry terminal Macau to Hong Kong

Hi,

I will be flying in to Macau in May and will take a ferry to HK for the 1st two nights and returning to Macau for another 2 nights before leaving.

I would like to know, which ferry terminal is more convenient to take, in terms of the crowds and the trouble of getting from the Airport to the ferry terminal?

As I have not book any hotel in HK yet, I will book the hotel based on the ferry terminal location in HK, which is either area near the Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan HK island or China Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui area.

As I have only 2 nights in and 2 nights in Macau, I have to plan properly to save traveling time and money.

Please advise. Thanks.

Ferry terminal Macau to Hong Kong

There are two ferry terminals in Macau and two in HKG (and three ferry companies):

You can take Cotai Jet from Taipa temporary pier to HKG Island (Macau Ferry Terminal). This is a new services, runs every 30 min, owned by the Venetian Hotel/Casino. the Taipa pier is very close to the airport BUT recent comments suggest the taxi drivers do not like taking people such a short distance.

You can take a bus or taxi from the airport to the Maritime Terminal and then take either TurboJet to HKG Island or First ferry to Kowloon (China Ferry Terminal). CFT is easier with luggage; MFT is easier for taxis or the MTR.

Another option (check the Macau Airport website for details) is the express ';bonded'; service by bus between the airport and the Maritime Terminal. You board this BEFORE going through Macau immigrartion thus they ';pretend'; that you never entered Macau.

Ferry terminal Macau to Hong Kong

Leongwk15, I answered this query you posted in the Hong Kong forum.

Thanks for all the reply.

From previous posts, i understood which and where each ferry going.

But what i am trying to ask here is which ferry terminal is more convenient and userfriendly.

1) Which ferry terminal in HK and Macau has less crowd or less people?

2) Which ferry terminal is much easier to get to from the Macau airport?

I know CotaiJet is new so the ride is better. But the frequency of trips in Macau Ferry Terminal is 15mins interval and Taipa Ferry Terminal is 39mins interval. Am I right?

Regards.
