General Info

[Mike B]

I may be misunderstanding something, but the first return (from Macau to HKIA) doesn't leave at 7 am.

There are two types of ferry service: one goes from the Macau main ferry terminal direct to the Hong Kong airport (HKIA); the second goes from Macau to the Sheung Wan terminal in Hong Kong.

1) For the Macau direct to HKIA service, the first sailing is at 7:30 am. I believe the minimum connection time is 2 hours, so you will not be able to take this ferry as your flight is at 9 am. One nice thing about this ferry is that you get to bypass Hong Kong immigration.

2) The Macau to HK Sheung Wan ferry runs 24 hours a day. So you can take an early ferry (e. G. , the 5 am ferry), arrive at Sheung Wan, then take either a taxi or the subway / MRT to the airport. You'll have to clear Hong Kong immigration when arriving at Sheung Wan but it's usually very quick in the mornings.

Note the subway doesn't open until around 6 am. You can take the subway from Sheung Wan to Central / Hong Kong station (connected via a long walkway), check in your bags at the Airport Express counter there, and then take the Airport Express train to HKIA.

And if you take the taxi from Sheung Wan, be sure to get into the right line. There are different queues for taxis to the city vs. Taxi to the airport.

Thanks for the info.

How long does the trip take? L.

I have a flight back at 9 am. The first return leaves at 7 am. Is this cutting it too fine?

About 45 min.

That is cutting it pretty close and they have some restrictions on how close your flight is. Definitely can't use the baggage service on the return.

Cheers. , thanks for the info.

I'm planning a stop over soon. Just wondering if it is possible to catch the ferry to and from Macau from the Hong Kong airport?

It is easy. Just follow the signs as you disembark from your plane at HKG international airport that guide you to the Turbojet desk where you can buy a ferry ticket to Macau. No need to go through Hong Kong immigration or customs. Your checked airline baggage will be transferred automatically to your ferry to be picked up later at the Macau ferry arrival dock before you pass through Macau immigration and customs. Just be aware of the Turbojet schedule. The last ferry leaving HKG international airport is at 21:30.

Hi.

Never tried it this way but I'll be short on time this time round. I heard from second hand sources that it is not possible to access the international airport via ferry from Macau. Is this right? What hassles are involved if you can access the airport this way?

Cheers.

Someone wrote this info before, and if I remember correctly the answer is YES. Is possible to go directly from HK Airport to the ferry for Macau.

Where would the Shun Tak in Kowloon be? Never heard about it in 20+ years in HK.

What is is the itinerary to follow to Macau from the west coast USA? Anyone? Do I fly to Hong Kong first? Thanks for any help!

United SFO to HKG.

Cathy Pacific LAX to HKG 3 x a day.

I would do these 2 routes since I have done them 20 x already or more.

I looked on google and on a googlemaps, and I saw that have 2 Shun Tak in Hong Kong, one in Kowloon and on in Hong Kong Island next to Sheung Wan MRT station.
I would like to know if they are part of the same company and if both sell a package with Sauna's service and ferry ticket round trip?

Also I ask to the experts of Macau which sauna do you would like to suggest to a western guy for his first experience in Macau Saunas?
Rio? FN? East Spa?
I know Rio is the more expensive. The higher price is justified by the beauty of the girls?
I read on some other forum that FN not provide showtime anymore and increase the price and also I read about a great showtime in East Spa and have a discount before 6 pm (is worth a try?) but there are mostly chinese lineup.

Where would the Shun Tak in Kowloon be? Never heard about it in 20+ years in HK. Also the ferry terminals are not a company but buildings. The ferries are run by Turbojet, but they don't sell anything else but the trip. Those sauna packages are sold by triad run travel agents.
