Hi all,

Just seeking information on the - cheapest! - costs from Hong Kong to Macau.

I arrive in Hong Kong November 3rd, and am planning on a 3-6 days stay - anyway, looking at onward flights costs to Bangkok, I have scoped that it's half the price to fly Macau to Bangkok v HK to Bangkok, so am curious as to travel costs from Hong Kong to Macau, and whether it will it be economical to do so once additional costs are factored in.

So, what are the cheapest available ferry costs HK to Macau that anyone knows of, and are there any additional costs? i.e. Visas, or anything? My Google searches have yielded me very little but confusion!

Thanks smile.gif

I don't know if you checked this link (Ferry) but it gives you times and costs for the HK to Macau ferry. It appears you can do the trip for about $20 US.
Your visa on arrival should be free so then all you need is the taxi/bus cost to the Macau airport. According to this site (airport) which appears to be under $20 as well.

Hope this helps!

This is of no use to anyone. Why would you even do this?
