Arrival Information Arrival from International Airport (HKIA) If you are coming to from HKIA, you can take the WATER JET catamaran service from the at Hong Kong International Airport to Temporary Ferry Terminal. This service enables you to transit to Taipa without passing through Hong Kong Immigration, Customs or Baggage Reclaim. The Journey time is approximately 65 minutes. The fare is HK$270 (Economy Class – one way). Tickets can be obtained from the Ferry Transfer Desk at the airport. Timetable and fares can be found on the website: https://www.cotaiwaterjet.com/ferry-schedule/hkia-macau-taipa.html

You also can take the TurboJET catamaran service from the Skypier at Hong Kong International Airport to Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal. The Journey time is approximately 70 minutes. The fare is HK$270 (Economy Class – one way). Tickets can be obtained from the Ferry Transfer Desk at the airport.

Please note that you must present your passport and baggage counterfoil (the small tag with the bar code) at the Macau ferry ticket booking office; you must give up your baggage tag so that the service operator can retrieve your baggage for you (you will not see your baggage in Hong Kong, you will only see it when you arrive in Taipa/Macau). The ferry ticket booking office is situated before you reach the immigration at Hong Kong airport. It is essential that, if you wish to use this ferry service, you do NOT go to the immigration, but follow the signs inside the airport to the counter for tickets for the Macau ferry. You must allow a minimum of one hour before the ferry departs. The ferry departure hall is downstairs in the HKIA building (the floor below the ferry ticket office); it is clearly signposted). Have your ticket and passport ready for inspection. If at all possible, we advise you strongly to use the HKIA ferry service, as it is much easier and less crowded than the alternatives, even if you have to wait for one hour or longer.

The last ferry from the airport to Taipa departs at 19:00, to Macau departs at 18:00, so if your late arrival in HK airport does not allow you enough time to catch the COTAI WATER JET or TurboJET catamaran from the Skypier, you will have to catch ferries that run from the Shun Tak ferry terminal in on or from the China Ferry Terminal in (TST) in (the service from Sheung Wan is much more frequent than the service from TST, Kowloon). You will need to come through immigration at HKIA, and then reclaim your baggage and take it with you to Sheung Wan.

To reach the Shun Tak ferry terminal you can take a taxi (Taxi fare is approximately HK$320 - 400) or the rail Airport Express, it will take you to Central in just 24 minutes. Trains depart at about 10- minute intervals from 05:54 to 00:48 (Fare is HK$110). If you take the Airport Express then this will take you to the station called ‘Central’ and then you must change underground trains and take the Island line on the underground to Sheung Wan (only one station away).

UIC/AI/20210415 Once you reach Sheung Wan (three stops before the terminus of the Island line) you will see the signs ‘Exit D’ to the Macau ferry. Follow the signs up several flights of escalators – you are automatically in the Shun Tak ferry terminal building which houses the ferry terminal, and the ferry ticket office is on the third floor.
