The area
Neighbourhood: Sheung Wan
Unlike most of Hong Kong’s other popular districts, Sheung Wan welcomes wanderers with an easy-going, relaxed atmosphere. Art galleries are plentiful and boutique cafés are tucked away in every side street in the sub district known as “PoHo.” Browse through the vintage clothing and handmade leather goods stores – it’s no surprise fashionistas flock to this area. History enthusiasts will be rewarded with sites of beautiful architecture, reflecting Sheung Wan’s past as one of the earliest settlements by British forces. As night falls, the entertainment scene reveals itself to be just as laid back with its private kitchens, speakeasies and underground bars dotted throughout the area. When in Sheung Wan, everyday feels like the weekend.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Cotai Water Jet from Macau to Hong Kong
Nov 2023 • Solo
I choose Cotai Water Jet going to Hong Kong from Macau vice versa. They follow the exact timings which is really efficient for a tourist like me that needs to catch up another train and plane going back home.

The staff from the Macau and Hong Kong terminal speak English which is really helpful.

Worst service with Cotai!! Book with TurboJet instead.
Oct 2023 • Couples
This was our first time going to Macau and booked with Cotai as their ticket booth is right by the escalators, not knowing that TurboJet was to the left of the escalators. Make sure to go to TurboJet first as they have more boats and better customer service. The staff at Cotai were rude and unhelpful. We arrived at 11:30am and were made to purchase a ticket for a 1:30pm as the lady at the counter said that there were no boats/tickets available at all and we had to get the 1:30pm so we made the purchase. As we walked down, TurboJet had tickets available for 12:15, 12:30 and so on. I went back to Cotai straight away and asked for a refund as we needed to get to Macau sooner. Staff were rude and said to wait at the stand by line for the 12:30pm which we did and with no luck. So basically we sat around waiting for nothing for 2 hours which we could have spent that time elsewhere. It was the worse experience I have ever encountered as a first timer to Macau! Never again will I go with Cotai and would highly recommend TurboJet instead.

COTAI JET IS BEST TO GET TO COTAI FROM HONG KONG
Apr 2023 • Solo
It has been many years since l last visited Hong Kong. Even more years going to Macau from HK.
I used to go to Macau from HK by fast ferry jet. Was not sure if this is still a good option with the opening of the land bridges.
I have to compliment Cotai Jet for the many improvements since l travel that route many years ago. The processes were very smooth. The ride took close to one hour. It was a seamless journey. This has to be the best way to get to Cotai from Hong Kong.

More comfortable option to Macau
Apr 2023
Cotai Water Jet offers fast and reliable ferry service between Sheung Wan and Taipa. While seats are in tight supply amid post-covid boom, the trip itself is pretty pleasant and hazzle-free. Seats are more comfortable than Turbojet and staff way friendlier. Highly recommend.

Great experience with Cotai Water Jet
Nov 2019
We had a great experience with Cotai Water Jet. We brought first class tickets and had a pleasant trip from Macau to Hong Kong. The boat ride was generally smooth and quiet. Enjoyed the experience and would do the waterjet again rather than the bus as there were not that many people and the boarding and disembarking process was smooth.

Cotai Water Jet from Hong Kong Island to and Macau Taipa Ferry Terminal
Dec 2019
Easy to reach Shun Tank centre and collect the boarding passes from the counter. Checking-in has been quick, where they assign you the seats. Takes exactly one hour to reach Macau. It was kind of rough weather that day, and had experienced some disturbances and seasickness feelings that day though.Otherwise, it was smooth and awesome.

Huge efficient ferry terminal
Nov 2019 • Business
The ferry terminal large and modern. When I was there on a Sunday is largely empty and getting to my ferry was a breeze.
