What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Travelers generally find the Macau ferry terminals to be efficient and well-organized gateways, especially for travel to Hong Kong. The Taipa terminal is noted for its modern amenities and airport proximity. However, some find the waiting areas basic, with limited food options late at night and potential for obstructed views from windows.
"Huge ferry terminal with Ferris to Hong Kong, China and other islands. There is immigration counters and huge waiting area.
We took 11 pm ferry and most eating shops were closed already. There was a vending machine for coffee and prepackaged food."

"Super convenient and smooth experience at Taipa Ferry Terminal! Everything was well-organized — from ticketing to immigration, it was efficient and easy to navigate. The terminal itself is clean, modern, and has plenty of seating areas and food options while you wait. I especially appreciated the clear signage and friendly staff who made the process seamless. A great gateway in and out of Macau!"

"Yes it was a smooth process to travel on the ferry from Macao to Hong Kong. The frequency every 30 minutes is excellent. Before departing we were advised that the crossing would be rough & it was at times just that due to high winds.
Ticket inspection & Passport control were very quick. The installations were easy to navigate & were impeccably clean , tidy & well maintained including the toilets. The building is super big so expect to have to walk quite a distance to board the boat. I found the seating in the waiting area which were of light steel to be far too cold. I saw in first class they have cushion's. The other negatives are that upstairs was closed due to the weather & downstairs the windows have salt erosion so yoy can't take a decent photo. There are no toilets either but you get a complimentary sick bag.
At Hong King it's equally impressive alighting etc. So overall dedpite a rough crossing it was a pleasant experience. I would definitely repeat."
