Keep an eye out for early-booking savings and flexible ticket types, including upgrades or flexi-fares that let you amend or cancel later on. For a hassle-free booking, double-check the details you enter, such as passenger numbers and any vehicle specifications.
As soon as your booking is confirmed, you'll get a confirmation email. Exactly how your boarding pass is issued after that depends on which operator you've booked with.
Some operators send your boarding pass out the moment you book, while others require check-in at the port itself. Where it's offered, online check-in is also available through the Direct Ferries app, saving you a step at the terminal.
You'll typically find the ticket desk close to the ferry terminal itself. It's a good idea to arrive a little early so you have plenty of time to collect your tickets and get checked in without rushing.
At check-in, have your confirmation email ready along with valid photo ID, such as a passport or identity card. If you're travelling with a pet, bring along their vaccination and insurance paperwork, and if you booked using a resident discount, be prepared to show proof of address too.
A few things can explain a lack of sailings on your chosen date: a temporary schedule change, limited space, or a seasonal shift in the timetable are the most common. It's worth trying a nearby date or exploring alternative routes using our Route & Port finder.

Found on the northern banks of the bustling Victoria Harbour is the Hong Kong district of Kowloon, an ultra-modern metropolis edged by waterfront tower blocks that dominate the South China skyline. Meaning “Nine Dragons” in Cantonese after the mountains that surround the city, Kowloon is the perfect destination for travellers itching for an authentic Hong Kong experience away from the tourist hubbub found on the main island across the bridges to the south. The port of Kowloon is located on the south-western tip of the district just a short walk from the Avenue of Stars, a street dedicated to the heroes of the Hong Kong film industry and the site of a bronze statue commemorating Bruce Lee, arguably the city’s most famous citizen. The port’s passenger terminal can be found alongside the northernmost pier jutting out from Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. From here passengers can look out across the harbour and savour the breath-taking views of the imposing cityscape, a sight that includes the soaring IFC Tower 2. The port is also home to a boutique shopping centre and a host of restaurants that ply their trade within the undercover Ocean Terminal just a short walk away. The passenger route from Kowloon port to Macau snakes westwards between the archipelago of islands that pepper the South China Sea. It’s a short journey serviced by both TurboJet and Cotai Water who offer a multitude of daily high-speed ferries across the sea. Getting to the port is a straightforward affair. The nearby Kowloon train station offers routes directly to and from Hong Kong airport, while a multitude of bus stops can be found on Canton Road adjacent to the port. The Mass Transit Railway is also within walking distance, a rapid transport service that whisks passengers to all corners of the district.
