So informative and clear. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain with the video.

[@Hipfig]

You're Welcome! Happy Travels! 👍

Very nice job!

[@justinhkspurt]

Great video! Well done... You can't get more informative than this! Should change the title to "Hong Kong Airport to Macau by Ferry for Transit Passengers | Travel Guide for Dummies" 👍

[@ThomasLi4017]

There are too many violent protests in Hong Kong. Tourists are not recommended to stay in Hong Kong. Instead, they can consider transiting through Hong Kong to Macau and Zhuhai (a city in Guangdong province).

[@Hipfig]

Thank you for the update. Happy and Safe Travels!

This was such an informative video - thank you!

[@elliottpannell1622]

Thank you for this Great info. After visiting Macau how do we get to Kowloon from Macau to board a cruise ship at Kai Tec cruise terminal? Also do we check our luggage in and where?

[@Hipfig]

You can take ferry from Macau to Kowloon Ferry Terminal (also called as China Ferry Terminal) and then take taxi from Kowloon Ferry Terminal to Kai Tec Cruise Terminal. If you have big luggage then you can check-in luggage at Macau Ferry Terminal Check-in counter (ask for specific location to drop luggage) and collect at Kowloon Ferry Terminal. Hope this info is helpful! Happy Travels!

[@elliottpannell1622]

Thank you so much for helping us out with our travel plans. You are so very detailed giving instructions with an explanation. Joyous travels.

[@imopioziz9893]

Very helpful!!! Thank you very much. I was told to take a taxi premium service but this looks so easy and efficient that I doubt the premium service could be better. Because I arrive at 15.30 and need to take the 17.00 o'clock jetfoil or I have to wait for the 22.00 oclock's. Do you think Premium service can be better? Thank you

[@Hipfig]

Thanks, Not sure what do you mean by Premium service for this ferry. For sure, You will have to rush to Macau Ferry Counter at HK Airport once you get down to get 17.00 ferry as sometimes ticket lines are long. When our team took this ferry they didn't see any Premium service..... Maybe you mean Premium class (Business/First) on Ferry. In case normal lines are long you can give a try for Premium Class line in case you don't want to wait for 22.00 ferry. Let us know about your experience once you take this ferry. Happy Travels!

[@fendyc5621]

Thank you for the video guide, question: Can i still use this route when I have checking luggage from previous flight that my understanding we have to go thru immigration first to retrieve.

[@Hipfig]

Yes, No need to enter Hong Kong (Immigration). Just go to Macau Ferry Counter and they will transfer you luggage from HK Airport Baggage Claim to Macau ferry. Please see other comments. We suggest watching this video in detail to see step by step on how this transit works. Happy Travels! 🙂

[@Hipfig]

If you get a chance also visit our website hipfig.com/Macau (Macau Page) for more information. Thanks/

[@LohKwaiYin]

I understand that we can buy the ferry tickets prior arrival instead of queuing to buy the tickets in HKIA. Is there a queue where we can exchange the ferry tickets and arrange for the transfer of the check-in luggage?

[@Hipfig]

The same queue where you will buy Ferry Tickets is used for Boarding Pass and Check-in luggage transfer. Unfortunately, no separate queue for Boarding Pass or for the transfer of the check-in luggage. Hope this info is helpful. Happy Travels!

Hi there, want to ask after embark from our plane. We go to the ferry to Macau without taking our luggages first? Can directly to the tiket counter? What if we bought our ticket from KLOOK. I am thinking about our luggages that is after custom?

[@Hipfig]

Take your tickets to Ferry Ticket counter before Hong Kong Immigration with your Check-in baggage receipt/tags . They will issue Ferry boarding pass and transfer your luggage to Ferry from Baggage Claim area. You don't have to enter HK (Immigration & Customs). At your originating flight city, feel free to check with Airline Check-in counter to see if they can send your luggage directly to Macau (Ferry) as you already have Macau Ferry Ticket. Don't worry Macau ferry counter before Hong Kong Immigration have capacity to extract your luggage from HK Baggage claim and transfer it to your Ferry. We suggest watching this video in detail for all info and instructions to check if luggage is transferred successfully. Happy Travels! 🙂

[@HLHOP701]

@@Hipfig oic, so they will collect my luggages according to my receipt boarding pass from Jakarta. Is it safe? They will surely collect our luggages? And i dont think my origin country can do that even we have ferry ticket and we are flying with SQ. 🙄

[@Hipfig]

Hope you got a chance to see this video in detail to see baggae transfer section. Yes, Macau ferry at HK Airport has proven system to transfer luggage from HK Airport Baggage Claim to Macau Ferry. They do it everyday and also provides machines to check successful baggage transfer before your board the Ferry. They also check it 1-2 times before you broad ferry during boarding process. Happy Travels! 👍

[@alanmiller9681]

Lived in Macau for ten years and done this many times, even after the bridge opened. It’s the best way to/from HKIA for your flights. Of course, you can also fly from Macau’s airport which is even better if you can find a suitable flight. Of course since the CCP inflicted Covid on all of us, flights and access through the Macau airport are extremely limited.

[@Hipfig]

Thank you for sharing.

[@galangcebuana]

Hi, wanted to confirm, can tourist who will just visit Macau for a day can do this? take the ferry from the airport?

[@alanmiller9681]

@@galangcebuana Not sure I completely understand your situation. While I have taken the ferry to/from HKIA many times, it is always in conjunction with a flight reservation. Going out the agent selling you the ferry ticket will will not sell you a ticket without a flight reservation. I don’t think they will allow people who have not gotten off a flight access to the ferry terminal. All the tickets for arriving passengers are sold inside the secure area of the airport. However you can take a ferry to Macau from either the Hong Kong ferry terminal or Kowloon Ferry terminal.

This afternoon I got the information that because os the protesters , people couldn't ride on a car/bus/taxi and the airport express train had been canceled. However there was a jetfoil/ferry directely from HKG airport to Macau city and my friends could get it at 18.00 o'clock. It's a good time for me , at least is better than risk to waiit until 22.00. I don t know in what Pier/Gate I can get it. Could you help? Thanks a lot. Ziza

[@Hipfig]

Please watch this video in detail if you wish to catch direct Ferry from HK Airport to Macau as transit passenger without entering Hong Kong. Go to Macau Ferry Ticket counter before HK Immigration to catch this direct ferry for transit passengers. Follow sign for Macau Ferry once you get out of your plane. Please note this ferry is for Transit Passengers only. Hope this information is helpful. Happy Travels!🙂

Hi, I arrive at 16:55 in HKIA if the last schedul is at 18:00 to Macau do I have time to be on board?

[@Hipfig]

Most probably not as this will be a very tight connection...but you can give a try ....no harm ...never know. You should also look into other options like getting out of the HK Airport (entering Hong Kong) and taking HK-Macau Bridge or Airport Express + Ferry from HK Macau Ferry Terminal etc,. We tried connection like this one time few years back but our Checked bags didn't transfer from HK baggage claim to ferry in time, so we were put on the next ferry at that time. Sorry, we don't have a perfect answer for this situation. Happy Travels!

Hello Vina, Limited ferry service is available from HK airport to Macau. Please visit our website for schedule. Tickets are available at the HK airport ferry counter and can be purchased there when you arrive. We recommend purchasing in advance to avoid sell out for the time you want. The link below at our website has a link to tickets ($33.60 USD) to book the ferry in advance : www.hipfig.com/macau/macau-to-macau-via-hk-airport-transit HKD are freely used in Macau but you will most get change back in Macanese pataca.

Hello Thank you for your information, but I have 2 question 1. What is the price (in HKD) for the ferry ticket from Hongkong Skypier to Macau? 2. So I have booked my ticket plane to arrive in Hongkong first, and if I use skypier (to Macau) that means I will not pass Hong Kong immigration right? I'm planning to go back to Hongkong (from Macau) a day after, but from Taipa to Sheung Wan Hongkong, am I gonna get trouble because I will never pass Hongkong Immigration? Thank you for your time,,, really looking forward to hear from you again!

[@Hipfig]

1). Hong kong Skypier to Macau Ferry Ticket Price - HKD270/Adult for Economy and HKD435/Adult for First Class as per Ferry website: www.turbojet.com.hk/en/routing-sailing-schedule/hk-airport-macau/sailing-schedule-fares.aspx 2). Correct, don't cross HK immigration if you are taking ferry from Hong kong Airport Skypier to Macau ( this is just a transit). No issues coming back from Macau to HK with HK immigration. Macau and Hong Kong has independent Immigration and Customs departments. It will be like entering new country when you enter Hong Kong from Macau. Hope this is helpful! Happy Travels!

I would be visiting HK on 22 May, 2019 how many days prior should I book for the Cotai waterjet??PLS REPLY ASAP

[@Hipfig]

Are you visiting HK or Macau? If going directly to Macau, then you can book Ferry after getting off your flight at HK Airport or book 24-48 hrs before. HK Airport ferry is for direct transit passengers to Macau. No need to panic...you can buy tickets for Ferry at HK Airport to either Macau Outer Harbour or Macau Taipa Ferry terminal. All big hotels run Free Shuttle buses to/from both Macau terminals. We usually buy Macau Ferry tickets at HK Airport (Once we get off our plane) in case we are heading directly to Macau. Now, if you are going to HK city first (staying in HK hotel) and then want to visit Macau, then there are multiple ferry terminals in HK City for going to Macau. Ferry frequency from inside HK is every 20-30 mins during peak times and runs 24 hours. You can buy tickets on the spot at ferry terminal for next ferry to Macau inside those city terminals. Bring your passport as you will be going through immigration and Customs like at Airport. Hope this info is helpful! Happy Travels!

hi i would be visiting HK on 22 June, 2019 (arrival time flight is 18.40 pm) and plan directly go to Macau. Could i get Turbojet ferry at the airport at this schedule time? If could not, is there any optional way to go to Macau? please kindly help me thank you

[@Hipfig]

Last ferry to Macau is at 18:00 daily. You will have to enter Hong Kong (clear Immigration, collect your checked bags and clear customs). Once you enter HK you have two options: Option 1 - By Bus to Macau via new Bridge - Take taxi (or public bus A21) to Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macau Bridge Passengers clearance building. Take Bus from there to Macau. This is a cheaper option. Many videos available on KZbin on how to take bus from HK to Macau...check them out. Option 2 - Ferry from Hong Kong City to Macau Take Airport Express train from Airport to Hong Kong Station. From Hong Kong Station take Taxi to Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal (5 mins). From Macau Ferry Terminal take ferry to Macau. This will be expensive and might take much longer than option 1. Both options are available 24 hours. You will have to leave HK again after entering HK (means double Immigration & customs). Passport is must to enter/leave HK or Macau. Hope this info will be helpful! HAPPY TRAVELS!!

my flight lands at 9:35am in HK and i have a ferry at 11am, is that okay? or should i take 1:15pm ferry?

Hi. I'm flying to HK and will be arriving very early (1am) .Can I go to Macau by ferry without passing immigration then sail back to the airport later that day and pass through HK immigration?

[@Hipfig]

No, last ferry to Macau from HK Airport is at 10PM and First Ferry is around 11AM for Macau. Also Ferry between HK Airport and Macau is for transit passengers only. One could not enter Hong Kong using this ferry back to HK Airport. There are other ferry available to go directly between HK and Macau from City with their own immigration counters both sides.
