New World First Ferry to/from Hong Kong

by i-s-a

This is a good alternative to flying when going to HK (Kowloon Side) from Macau. The ship is new (at least the one we've tried), it is clean and getting a ticket is very easy. They have numerous trips both day time and night time.Fares depend on the schedule you choose...as a rule, day trips are cheaper than night trips. Day Trip Fares are 140Patacas for Adult and 120 Patacas for Senior (concessionary fare). For full schedule and fare table, please check http://www.nwff.com.hk/engtext/schedule/route.asp

take a hike

by zephyrgurl108

i got caught up during rush hour and took me an hour to finally give up on getting a cab. so if you have the time and energy (and map) just walk it. or avail of the cheaper and plentiful mode of transpo - the bus.i also heard, though unconfirmed, that there are several scooters that can be rented as you go around town, so that's nother option. there are so many scooters in this place, i think every one has one.

Tourismo Lotus private tour van

by islaazul

After getting off the ferry from Hong Kong to Macau, my family and I debated how we were going to get around Macau to see the sights. A driver from the Tourismo Lotus (a certified tour operator) approached us and offered to take us around the city, about a 2-3 hour tour. It turned out to be a great move. Our tour guide shuttled us around to the major sites in our own van, and was very informative. He also took us to a great Portugese-Macanese restaurant called Praia Grande and waited outside while we ate, and took us to Margaret's Cafe e Nata for their world-famous egg tarts (see Restaurant review). Afterwards, he dropped us off at the Sands casino for some gambling. We were able to catch one of the many shuttles at the hotel back to the ferry building for our trip back to Hong Kong. The best part was the whole tour cost about $50.

Bus to Macau Tower

by dejavu2gb

As the Macau Tower is one of the most popular visitor attractions, I thought I'd put a quick tip on showing potential visitors how to get there, and also I like the pic I want to add to this tip, so its a opportunity for me to post it.If you plan on visiting this striking landmark of Macau, then bus 23 will take you there. It goes from Lotus Square (across from the Grand Prix Museum), or from the various other stops along the route. We got it from the across the square though.A single journey to get to the tower will cost you 2,50 Patacas (about HK$2,50)

Taxi

by dejavu2gb

As with all other countries around the world, you can get around quite easily by taxi.Unfortunately we did not use a taxi, so I am not sure how cheap they are, but if they are the same costs as in Hong Kong, I would expect that they are pretty cheap then.Taxi's are also easily recognisable as many of them have a cream coloured roof. Note the other taxi's in the picture. (they also come in different models so ensure you hail a taxi not a road user lol)

Getting around Macau

by dejavu2gb

One of the many ways of getting around Macua is on one of these buses, they are quite small and only take like 15 people, but they are very inexpensive and will get you to your destination cheaply and quite fast too.Some of the bus stops have pictures of the attractions the bus will stop at so you will not always get lost.

Upon arrivel in Macau it lands at the helipad situated on the roof of Macau Maritime Terminal. Departure gate is located on 2/F,Macau Maritime Terminal, Avendia de Amizade, Macau.

Travelling by air

by dejavu2gb

If ferries dont take your fancy and you are still interested in visiting Macau, your other option is to fly there.Macau Airport is quite new and was completed in 1995, and since then has became quite popuar and many airlines has since added Macau to their destination list.Flights into Macau will originate from countries such as China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Thailand.

During the daytime and early evening you can expect to see ferries departing every half hour between Hong Kong and Macau, and vice versa.The journey is quite fast and will take you only around 60-75 minutes.As for costs, they are also quite varied, and will be around HK$280 for a return journey, some fares might increase slightly depending on the times of day you travel.Duty free goods are available for purchase on the ferry and were very cheap indeed.Please note that if you plan a trip to Macau it is essential that you remember to take your passport, as you will pass through immigration in Hong Kong as well as Macau.Ferries depart from Kowloon (Tsim Sha Tsui) from the China Ferry Terminal.
