    I loved the Star Ferry since I was a little child.☺️💖Cheapest and most charming way to enjoy one of the most scenic Spots in HK. Get the ferry at 8pm to see the Symphony of Lights from the sea 😊💕

    A must do in Hong Kong. Inexpensive and great views guaranteed. The old quai in Causeway Bay has some nice stalls selling hand brewed coffee for a very low price.

    The best experience of taking star ferry is taking lower and the front deck. 1) Cheaper 2) Escape the smell of diesel 3) Watch the caption to steer that historical ferry

    Ferry is my most favourite way of travelling between Kowloon and HK island. And it’s so cheap at only HKD 2.70 one way!!

    Scrap the MTR and ride the ferry instead! Cheap and offers unparalleled views of the Hong Kong skyline.

    The best way to get across the water. It's historic, cheap, fast, efficient and fun.

    If you could experience only 1 thing in HK, go on a ferry ride. It's cheap and the views are spectacular; especially at night, when the skyline lights up.

    Beats the MTR every time: cheap, convenient, uncrowded and lovely views of both sides of Victoria Harbour from the water, especially in the evenings.

    Take the upper deck area although more expensive by mere cents you don't get fumigated by the smoke from the engine and enjoy the views unobstructed

    There's two separate entrances down the road from each other (pre ticket gate) depending if you want upper or lower deck. Ticket price is cheap 2.50-3.50 HKD depending if it's on/off peak.

    Egg tarts for the boat trip. Mind, the service was a bit grumpy (at least I didn't have to look at it whilst eating) and the pastry was a bit salty.

    Make sure to take the ferry for a cheap "harbor tour." Very inexpensive way to sail across and admire the harbor traffic.

    If you have the time, the ferry costs less than the MTR and is fairly quick. People do shove and push to try to get off the boat though.

    take the star ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central at sunset -- you'll get both the daylight/twilight views and night skylines

    Jump on a star ferry at night and enjoy the world's "Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show" - A Symphony of Lights" showcasing the glamorous night vista of Victoria Harbour.

    Easily the busiest pier not because of the passengers but the tourists and traders at the area, still love this pier though.

    If you don't mind the sound of the engine, sit on the lower deck. It's the cheapest choice to cross the harbor.

    Upper deck entrance is not that close to lower deck entrance. Look for the signs.

    *Get an upper deck ticket! lower is diesel filled!* If you take the ferry right before 8:00pm, the ferry will stop mid way for photos of the Symphony of Lights!

    Quicker and more fun than metro for getting back to Hong Kong island from Kowloon. Use your 'Octopus' card to pay and save time by not buying a token.

    Unless you're literally pinching pennies, make sure you board at the entrance for the upper deck. Only an extra 60 cents but so worth it. Better view, fresher air.

    A must do and a must visit for tourists in Hong Kong. If you time it right you can watch the Symphony of Lights while on the Star Ferry itself.

    The upper deck is more crowded, but has better views and is more quiet then the lower deck.
