Macau

Just a hop, skip, and jump away from the S.A.R., Macau is the perfect destination for a fulfilling daytrip or quick getaway. Ferries, buses, or chopper: take your pick of transport. Make sure to check out our guide to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge while you're at it! Overview Mode Price Time Links Buses From ~45 minutes ; ; HZMB Bus Ferries From ~60 minutes Book or via Klook Car From ~75 minutes Helicopter From ~15 minutes Book via Sky Shuttle website Buses from Hong Kong to Macau Hong Kong-Macau Express Price from ~45 minutes The Hong Kong–Macau Express departs from the Cross-Boundary Coach Terminus inside Elements, which itself is inside Kowloon MTR and located near the West Kowloon Cultural District. You will need to change buses at Prince Edward (ChinaLink, Shop A, 695 Shanghai Street) before heading to Macau. Although Hong Kong–Macau Express covers more hotels (Grand Lisboa, MGM Macau, Sands, MGM Cotai, The Venetian Macao, Galaxy Macau and StarWorld Hotel), each route will stop at only three of the hotels listed. A newer express route runs from Prince Edward to Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau, stopping at Oceanus Casino and the Grand Lisboa in between. However, it runs only twice a day from Hong Kong, at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Eternal East Bus Cross-border Express Price from ~45 minutes Travel worry-free and get straight to your hotel with the Eternal East Bus Cross-border Express. With several pickup points in Hong Kong including major malls in Kwun Tong (APM), Diamond Hill (Plaza Hollywood) and Kwai Fong (Metroplaza), this bus travels across the bridge to Crowne Plaza, The Venetian Macao, and The Parisian Macao. Boasting large bay windows, this 52-seater bus can accomodate 1 standard piece of luggage and 1 handbag per passenger. All you have to do is choose your desired pickup and drop-off point and make the payment. Then, you will receive a confirmation within two days along with your e-ticket. Simply scan and board 15 minutes before departure. HZMB Shuttle Bus Price from ~45 minutes Official website In search of the cheapest way to get from Hong Kong to Macau? Look no further than the HZMB Shuttle Bus. Nicknamed the Golden Bus, this shuttle service operates around the clock, with each ride along the eponymous Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge taking just 45 minutes. Each traveller is permitted to bring one suitcase no bigger than 30″ x 20″ x 13″ and no heavier than 20 kg. You can buy a ticket at passenger port ticket counters. A ticket costs from the Hong Kong port. But if you’re travelling between midnight and 5:59 am, it’s . Keep in mind that the Boundary Crossing Facilities— where the bus stops are found— are on the outskirts of the cities, so you will need to use other bus services to get to the shuttle bus stops. Ferries from Hong Kong to Macau TurboJET Price from ~60 minutes Whether you want to traverse to one of Hong Kong's outlying islands or take a nostalgic trip in serene environs, there's a ferry for every occasion. Thanks to the high-speed TurboJET ferry, getting to Macau is a breeze. Vessels depart from the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan, which is located inside Shun Tak Centre and can also be reached from IFC by overhead bridge. The TurboJET docks at Macau’s Outer Harbor Ferry Terminal, giving you easy access to iconic attractions such as Senado Square and the Ruins of St Paul’s. Cotai Water Jet Price from ~60 minutes Another high-speed ferry operator is Cotai Water Jet. These catamarans also depart from the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal, with boats departing hourly. If you're looking to hit casinos like the City of Dreams or perhaps take a peek at the A-Ma Cultural Village, the Cotai is a better option because arrival is at the nearby Taipa Ferry Terminal. Car from Hong Kong to Macau Private transfer Price from ~75 minutes For a stress-free journey on your own schedule, you can get a private transfer to Macau. Pickup points include the airport, as well as areas in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, with prices varying slightly. These packages are all-inclusive; highway tolls and tunnel charges are included in the price. Your own vehicle While it is possible to drive your own vehicle along the HZMB Bridge, drivers will have to apply for multiple documents since the trip involves traversing across distinct jurisdictions. Another option is the Park-and-Ride Scheme, which allows drivers to get to Macau via the bridge and park their car at the Macau Port. Both options have been helpfully broken down in our HZMB Bridge guide. Helicopter Sky Shuttle Price from ~15 minutes Official website If you can only spare 15 minutes and you travel light, there's always the luxury option: helicopter. Choppers operated by Sky Shuttle take off on Tuesdays and Fridays, with flights offered every few hours. The company allows one free in-cabin hand-carried baggage of up to 5 kilograms, and one free check-in baggage of up to 7 kilograms per passenger. Check the timetable here.
