Star Ferry Pier in Hong Kong

For visitors, Star Ferry is an exceptionally convenient way to get around, the beautiful double-deckers offer one of the world's most spectacular views, and all of this is very affordable.

It costs just INR 24.71 each way for an upper-deck seat during weekdays and INR 33.86 during weekends. The Star Ferry has a history of more than 100 years. As both a vehicle and a tourist attraction it is a symbol of Hong Kong. The Star Ferry Company came into existence in 1898 and since then its ferries have been shuttling busily between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. The company owns 12 double-deck ferries and the cabin on the upper deck is equipped with air conditioning and the lower one is not. The names of all the ferries start with the word 'star', such as Morning Star, Night Star, Gold Star, and Heaven Star, etc. Tickets for the same can be purchased through Star Ferry Pier (Tsim Sha Tsui).

Symphony of Lights

One of the key highlights of riding a Star Ferry is that you can see the amazing light show called “A Symphony of Lights”. It is a show of dancing lights and music coming from buildings and skyscrapers. At night you will get a close look at the light show on the ferry and unique boating experience. You can catch a glimpse of the ferries passing nearby and the wide coastline of Hong Kong.

A crossing of Victoria Harbour on a Star Ferry has been named by the National Geographic of Traveler as one of the "fifty places of a lifetime". Yes, there are other faster and more efficient ways to cross the harbor (road tunnel and MTR). A very memorable experience is created by the amazing view and ocean breeze while riding the Star Ferry. Every tourist should do it at least once while in Hong Kong. It is not the only way to cross the harbor as there are many other faster and more efficient ways, but the only way to experience the amazing view and ocean breeze is by riding the ferry. Every tourist should go for it for a memorable trip to Hong Kong.

The locals suggest riding the ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui because there is not much to see facing the Kowloon side if you begin the trip from Central or Wanchai. The Star Ferry fleet consists of around twelve distinct green and white vessels in operation with some dating from the 1950s and 1960s. They go by names like "Shining Star" and "Celestial Star". The Star Ferries traverse the waters of Victoria Harbour every day, you can count them within a regular interval of every 10-12 minutes.

Bishnu's 7 days trip to Hong Kong

My Hong Kong and Macau trip through Travel tringle Pvt Ltd was excellent. Everything was smooth, timebound and very cooperative guide, driver, back office coordinator as well as the Travel Tringle team . Only dissatisfied with the room at Best Western Hotel, Hong Kong . The Hotel location is very good but they allotted me inferior/lower price room for 4 days. No result even protesting before management / Travel Tringle . Anyway managed 4 days.. Overall views are excellent Thanks to all for their dedicated team work to satisfy the guests. Best wishes and Regards to all . Bishnu Prasad Das Mob: 9937174097

Enakshirai's 6 days trip to Hong Kong

We recently had an incredible week-long trip to Hong Kong and Macao, all thanks to TravelTriangle and their outstanding executive, Mr. Atul Rai. From the initial planning stages to the conclusion of our journey, everything was handled with utmost professionalism and attention to detail. Mr. Atul Rai was exceptional in understanding our preferences and crafting an itinerary that perfectly balanced sightseeing and adventure. His expertise and responsiveness made the entire booking process seamless. We were particularly impressed with the hotel arrangements and the choice of activities, which allowed us to experience the vibrant cultures and stunning landscapes of both destinations. Suggestions for Improvement While our trip was largely flawless, we did encounter a minor issue that could be improved upon for future travelers. It would have been beneficial to have a tour guide accompany us during the city tours, especially in Macao. We lost our way in the market, which could have been avoided with a guide's presence. Having a knowledgeable guide would enhance the overall experience by providing insights and ensuring smooth navigation through the city. Overall, we highly recommend TravelTriangle and Mr. Atul Rai for a well-organized and memorable travel experience. We look forward to planning our next adventure with them! Thank you for an unforgettable trip!

Aniqa's 7 days trip to Hong Kong

Spending 8 days in Hongkong as a group of 8 was loads of fun. I would suggest no less than that instead I would encourage to add days especially if you have Shivangi from Sharing Travels managing your trip. She ensured that we have a memorable trip by properly guiding and adding the best tour activities. The tour guys were punctual and guided us, and answered our questions politely. We thank Shivangi and her organisation for this memorable trip and Travel Triangle for helping us plan yet another lovely trip with them.

Gauri's 8 days trip to Hong Kong

Thank you so much for the arrangements made by travel triangle. We had an amazing trip. Everything went according to the itinerary. We did not have to face any difficulty and very much satisfied with the services provided by travel triangle. There was a difficulty before departure, the ferry bookings were made incorrectly by our spoc. This is very sad to write but, he did not correct it nor he had a courtesy to call the us and ask whether it is rectified or not. And most importantly, i would like to thank Bijay Kushwaha for the quick support by him. I had contacted him at 11PM regarding the ferry tickets issue. And the very next day he corrected my ferry tickets and sent me the updated tickets. And even he told that we can contact him anytime if any issue is there throughout my journey. This is the support customers need, when making the bookings from travel agency. We had even contacted customer care and whats app group regarding the same issue. But we were told that they can fix this in official hours. When we did not know whether our issue will get resolved or not, as we were supposed to fly within 10-11 hours. We really appreciate Bijay for helping us.
