Outlying Islands Ferries
Regular ferry services link the main Outlying Islands to Hong Kong. Fares are reasonable
and the ferries are comfortable and usually air-conditioned. They have toilets, and some
have a basic bar that serves snacks and cold drinks. The ferries can get very crowded on
Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday, especially in the warmer months.
