PRACTICAL TIP
CENTRAL TO OUTLYING ISLANDS FERRY SERVICES
There are two types of ferries: the large 'ordinary ferries' that, with the exception of
those to Lamma, offer ordinary and deluxe classes; and the smaller 'fast ferries' that
cut travel time by between 10 and 20 minutes, but cost between 50% and 100%
more.
Prices are higher on Sunday and public holidays. Unless stated otherwise, children
aged three to 11 years, seniors over 65 years and people with disabilities pay half-fare
on both types of ferries and in both classes. Return is double the single fare.
Tickets are available from booths at the ferry piers, but avoid queuing at busy times
by using an Octopus card or putting the exact change into the turnstile as you enter.
Ferry timetables are prominently displayed at all ferry piers, or you can read them
on the ferry companies' websites.
