Star Ferry

Iconic harbour ferry with unbeatable skyline views since 1888

Address Star Ferry Pier, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon

The Star Ferry has been crossing Victoria Harbour since 1888, and the seven-minute ride between Tsim Sha Tsui and Central is still the best-value experience in Hong Kong. The fare is a few Hong Kong dollars, and the view of the skyline — the skyscrapers of Central piled up behind one another, with the Peak in the background — is as good as anything in the world. Take the lower deck for the full old-school experience.

Ferries run from roughly 6:30am to 11:30pm. Most people take the MTR under the harbour; the Star Ferry is better. There's a second route connecting Tsim Sha Tsui to Wan Chai.
