Star Ferry

Day memo: Star Ferry offers a short and refreshing harbour crossing that stands as one of the city’s well known cultural experiences. Wooden benches, open windows and green and white fleet keep the ride close to its original ferry.

The ride usually takes 7 to 10 minutes and services run frequently between Wan Chi and Central to Tsim Sha Tsui. The fare is from 2.80 to 6.50 depending on the day.

Recommend for travellers the upper deck for an unobstruct view of the skyline during the crossing. The pace of the city drops once the boat pulls away from the pier, a small shift that makes the crossing memorable.
