Star Ferry

Ferry Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR, Hong Kong

What to expect

The Star Ferry is a passenger ferry service operator and tourist attraction in Hong Kong, providing a scenic yet inexpensive mode of harbour crossing between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. The service has been in operation for over 120 years, with a fleet of twelve ferries carrying over 70,000 passengers per day. The ferries have a distinctive design, with double-ended bottle-green and ivory boats that have remained largely unchanged since the 1950s. The Star Ferry is not only a means of transport but also a source of inspiration for the city's creatives, with its iconic design and nostalgic charm. For families, the Star Ferry offers a unique and memorable experience, with its historic vessels and stunning harbour views. The ferry's upper deck is particularly popular, with its striking star symbol and functional seating that allows passengers to choose which way they face. The lower deck is also a great place to experience the sights and sounds of the harbour, with its proximity to the sea and the smell of diesel
