The Star Ferry is a mode of transport where the short harbour crossing between Tsim Sha Tsui and Hong Kong Island becomes a travel experience in itself. From the boat, you can see Victoria Harbour and the skylines on both sides from a low angle.

Sailing times can vary by route and day of the week, so check the official information before moving. If you time it around A Symphony of Lights, even a short crossing becomes part of your night-view itinerary.

Useful tips

  • To see the night view, time the Tsim Sha Tsui-to-Central crossing, or the reverse, around the light show schedule.
  • On windy days, indoor seats may be more comfortable than the deck.
  • When you're planning the day, you may wonder whether to prioritize the night view or the actual transfer. Check the official route information first, then connect it with a walk in Central or Wan Chai, and even the short ride fits neatly into the itinerary.

Frequently asked questions

Is it okay to ride it as a round trip?

The route is short, so even a simple round trip gives you plenty of harbour scenery. Still, connecting it with a walk in Central or Wan Chai makes better use of your time than just riding there and back.

Where can I check routes and times?

You can check route-by-route service information on the official Star Ferry website. Look it up based on the pier you'll actually use: Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, or Wan Chai.
