Four Ways to Travel Between Hong Kong and Macau

Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient, and Macau, the Las Vegas of the East, are geographically close, making it popular for many travelers to visit both cities. Since frequent travel is often necessary, Waug introduces four ways to move between Hong Kong and Macau in the fastest and most comfortable manner.


1. TurboJET Ferry

This is the most popular and fastest way to connect Hong Kong and Macau. It links the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal (Sheung Wan) with the Macau Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal, taking about 1 hour. Since it operates late into the night, you can plan your itinerary flexibly. You can book in advance on Waug to avoid waiting in line at the terminal.


2. Cotai Water Jet Ferry

The Cotai Water Jet Ferry is convenient if your accommodation is in the Cotai Strip area of Macau (Taipa Ferry Terminal) or if you plan to visit major resorts like The Venetian or Parisian. It connects Hong Kong (Sheung Wan) and Macau (Taipa), reducing travel time to the Cotai area. The journey also takes about 1 hour, similar to the TurboJET.


3. HKIA Direct Bus

This is the most efficient method when traveling directly from Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) to Macau, or vice versa. The direct bus that crosses the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (HZMB) is one of the most affordable and convenient means of transport. It connects the airport directly to Macau, reducing the hassle of transfers.


4. Sky Shuttle Helicopter

This is the most luxurious and thrilling way to travel between the two cities. The Sky Shuttle Helicopter connects Hong Kong and Macau in just 15 minutes, offering a spectacular view of the stunning skylines and coastlines of both cities. If you seek an unforgettable and exclusive experience and aren't overly concerned about cost, this is the best choice.
