Arrival Information
Arrival from Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA)
1. By ferry
If you are coming to Macau from HKIA, you can take the TurboJet from the Skypier at Hong Kong
International Airport to Macau Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal. This service enables you to transit to
Macau without passing through Hong Kong Immigration, Customs or Baggage Reclaim. The Journey
time is approximately 70 minutes. The fare is HK$297 (Economy Class one way). Tickets can be
obtained from the Ferry Transfer Desk at the airport.
Timetable and fares can be found on the TurboJet website:
https://www.turbojet.com.hk/en/routing-sailing-schedule/hk-airport-macau/sailing-schedule-fares.aspx
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 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 only ferry from the airport to Macau departs at 12:30, so if your late arrival in HK airport does
not allow you enough time to catch the TurboJET from the Skypier, you will have to catch ferries that
run from the Shun Tak ferry terminal in Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island or from the China Ferry
Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) in Kowloon (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 / TST.
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$115). 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).
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.
For COTAI WATER JET, the ferries run from 07:30 until 22:30.
