It's so convenient and cheap. Plus you're away from the crowded mtr and you get a nice feel of the breeze as well. I always use it and prefer it as an alternative to the MTR when i'm in central and going to kowloon or vice versa.

In a city that isn't cheap, this is one attraction that is. Very efficient service. Useful to be able to cross from Kowloon to either Central or Wan Chai, so you can do a loop or avoid using MTR. Good to do both day and night to get a different perspective on the city
If visiting Hong Kong make sure you have at least one trip on the Star Ferry from or to Central to Kowloon. It is even better if you are a senior as there is no charge at all. Hong Kong is very caring of its seniors and extends that courtesy also to foreign visitors. It is almost a tradition in...

Getting where we were going (from Kowloon to Central) felt like an experience in itself rather than a chore. We used the token machine and it was less than $1 for two of us to cross. Loved the view, even from the lower deck. Definitely recommended!
This is well signposted and really is one of those unmissable things to do whilst in HK. There never seems to be more than a few minutes wait to board a ferry and a nice touch are the old style and very smart naval uniforms all the deck hands and dock workers wear.

We were lucky that on the day we used it UNIQLO was offering a free ride for everyone. It's cheap when you have to pay anyway. Great way to cross the bay with Ferries every few minutes. Fantastic views of both sides of the city.
Cheap fare and great views while crossing the harbour. Definitely make sure you catch the Star Ferry instead of always getting the MTR to/from central. Make sure you board on the upper deck for the best views!
This is a fun ride and you are able to see the skyline of both Hong Kong and Kowloon. It is cheap and his fun day or night.
To get to one of our evening location we had to decide between taxi and the star ferry and i'm really glad that we chose the ferry. It is very convenient and affordable and one of the quickest ways to get from Central to Kowloon. Views are amazing especially when you go around 8 pm and catch the lightshow.
Ridiculously cheap fare. Although it's very short, it's a great trip. The boats are marvellous, fine examples of marine engineering, and it's more like joining the locals than a tourist ride.
