It has been dubbed as 'the world's most economical city tour'. It traverses through the waters of the Victoria Harbor between Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong island.

The Star Ferry Port contains a number of souvenir shops, snack bars and even a small travel agency. Public restrooms are located near the departure staging area.

The ticket prices range from HK0 for adults to HK5 for senior citizens and children. The history of the ferry service can be traced back to December 1888.

The ferry service was originally founded by a prominent Parsee, Dorabjee Nowrojee, under the name of the Kowloon Ferry Company. It made a modest beginning with four single deck vessels run on coal. Today it boasts of a fleet of 12 diesel- electric vessels.

The two newest additions in 1989, the 750- seat “Golden Star” and “World Star” can accommodate two hundred more passengers than the traditional ferries and has an air- conditioned upper deck cabin.

Hours: Departure: 11:05a- 9:05 M- Su.
