Hong Kong Ferry Services

An extensive network of ferry lines provides connections between Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the outlying islands, the New Territories, Macau and China.

Star Ferry is probably the best known ferry company in Hong Kong.  The company's historic main route runs between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, which is what most people mean by "the Star Ferry" in common parlance. This route is very popular with tourists and has become one Hong Kong's icons.  From the ferry, one can take in the famous view of the harbour and the Hong Kong skyline.
