They also have a Star Ferry tour which doesn't actually go to central island, it just makes a big circle in the bay between the island and Kowloon. This costs more, but comes with a narration, but I personally don't think it's worth it. Taking the normal ferry to Hong Kong Central Island is pretty cheap, I think it is... more

This is a great way to see the harbor for less than a US dollar each way and still get to your destination. Take the upper deck it is a better view with less exhaust smell of the ferry. more

Taking the Star Ferry across the harbour is a must-do while in Hong Kong. It offers great views of the city and is very cheap. Ride on the top level for the best views. Beware of all the sleazy suit salesmen and panhandlers in Tsim sha tsui. more

As well as the Star Ferries that just take you from one side to the other (best 20p you'll ever spend!), there's also a circular harbour tour route. It runs every hour and for most of the day costs HKD 40 (a little under GBP 3 at the moment). At 7pm it jumps to HKD 80, then at 8pm to... more

The best way to travel from Hong Kong to Kowloon, with great views of both from the water. A good chance to get some snaps of the skyline too. more

We took the Star Ferry across from HK Island to Kowloon on 1st Nov. It cost us each only HKD$2.20. The ferries come every 10 mins so there was minimal waiting time. It was clean and comfortable and the ride gave us a fabulous view of the skyline. It's very convenient to reach Nathan Rd from the ferry terminus. We... more

This is the one of the most romantic journeys you can make. Travelling from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island with the mass of neon lights in the background is the perfect place to propose. Neil from Cheltenham more

Costing pennies, this is one of the best tourist trips around - day or night the views, the sights and sounds of crossing HK harbour are thrilling - whilst the high speed crossing is quicker, this has just the right amount of charm. One of my favourite memories of HK is using the Star Ferry just to get around. more

An excellent way to get from Kowloon to Hong Kong accross the harbour - quick, cheap and efficient and a real taste of old Hong Kong. You can ride on the bottom deck with the hum of the motors or sit on the top and enjoy the fantastic view. Especially stunning at night when all the sky scrapers are lit... more
