Star Ferry: cheap mode of transportation
Quote: Riding the Star Ferry from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island was a great and affordable way to view the famous HK skyline. Fares vary depending on which deck you ride on and the day of the week. Compared to the MTR, you can save a minimum of 6.5% on... Read the full Star Ferry review

Star Ferry
Quote: One of the other reasons why I stay at the Grand Hyatt is that it is a quick 5 minute walk to Hong Kong's best transportation, the Star Ferry. The ferry is far and away the best way to see Hong Kong and for about $2 U.S. each way you can't beat the... Read the full Star Ferry review

Star Ferry
Quote: We traveled on the Star Ferry back and forth from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon. The Star Ferry has been running for about a century. It is a nice leisurely 5-7 minute ride across Victoria Harbor for just HK$2.20 (US .30¢ ) and this form of... Read the full Star Ferry review

The Ferry Trip to Lamma
Quote: Lamma is an interesting 40-minute ferry journey from Hong Kong Island, and I would recommend that you use your Octopus Card to make the journey. On our outward journey, the ferry seats were, to be polite, utilitarian and the trip was less than... Read the full Star Ferry review

Quote: Star Ferry is good, cheap, romantic transportation across the harbour with service to Hung Hom, Central, Wan Chai, and Tsim Sha Tsui (TST). Fares (highest HK$5.30) and schedules vary, but the ferry generally runs from 7am to 7pm, except between Wan... Read the full Star Ferry review

Quote: The Star Ferry is a great little boat service that seems to run without a hitch. About every 8 minutes, another ferry turns up and takes you across the water between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, and it only costs pennies. This service is... Read the full Star Ferry review

Star Ferry
Quote: The Star Ferry is the cheapest, most frequent, and best way to get to-and-from Kowloon from Hong Kong Island. Upper deck costs HK$1.70 for the privilege. Avoid rush hour as the locals use it in droves. The boats may have been built in 1947, but... Read the full Star Ferry review

Ferry across the harbour

  • 4 out of 5 stars by Liken D Sun from Bracebridge, Ontario
  • January 2, 2003
Quote: This is an old tramp steamer that is a really neat ferry. It runs like new but is something completely out of the 1800's. To get from Hong Kong to Kowloon or vice versa, this is the way to go.

Quote: Starting as I did from the Kowloon side the Star Ferry is next to the Old Colonial Clock Tower. There are two levels to the green and white boats, the First Class level costing $2.20HK and the lower Second Class level costing $1.70HK. You can either... Read the full Star Ferry review
