How to get to Macau from Hong Kong Disneyland Park?

After immersing in the magical world of Hong Kong Disneyland, you might be eager to explore the vibrant city of Macau. Here are several transportation options to get you there.​



 

1. Cross - Border Chartered Car (Suitable for Families with Children, People with a Lot of Luggage, or Those Who Value Convenience)​



 

• Cost: Around 1200 RMB.​

• Advantages: This is a hassle - free option as it offers door - to - door service. You can be picked up right from the Disneyland hotel and taken directly to your destination in Macau. The chartered car goes through the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macau Bridge, and the journey can be as fast as 30 minutes. The driver will assist you in going through the cross - border channel, and the large trunk can accommodate a significant amount of luggage. It's perfect for families traveling with kids who may get tired easily or for those with a lot of shopping bags.​
  
   

2. Golden Bus (Jumbo Bus) and Free Shuttle Bus (Suitable for Budget - Conscious Travelers with Sufficient Time)​


 

• Route: First, take a taxi from Disneyland to the Hong Kong - Zhuhai - Macau Bridge Hong Kong Port, which costs about 150 HKD. Then, take the Golden Bus to the Macau Port. The Golden Bus runs 24 hours a day, with buses departing every 5 - 30 minutes depending on the time of day. The journey takes about 40 minutes, and the fare is 65 HKD per person. After arriving at the Macau Port, transfer to a free hotel shuttle bus to the Macau city area.​

• Advantages: This is a more budget - friendly option. The Golden Bus offers regular services, and the free hotel shuttle buses in Macau can save you some money. However, it requires more effort as you need to transfer between different types of transportation and carry your luggage around. But if you have plenty of time and want to save some cash, this is a viable choice.​
   

3. TurboJET Ferry (Suitable for Those Who Want to Enjoy Sea Views)​


 

• Route: First, take a taxi from Disneyland to the Hong Kong Sheung Wan Hong Kong - Macau Ferry Terminal, which costs about 200 HKD. Then, take a one - hour ferry to the Taipa or Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal in Macau.​

• Advantages: The ferry ride provides a great opportunity to enjoy the beautiful sea views between Hong Kong and Macau. If you are not in a hurry and prefer a more relaxing journey with a different perspective, this is an excellent option. However, the ferry schedule is limited, so it's necessary to check the departure times in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. Also, if you are prone to seasickness, you might want to consider other options.​
   

4. Hong Kong - Macau Express Bus (Suitable for Travelers Who Want Direct Access to Macau's Resorts)​


 

• Route: The Hong Kong - Macau Express Bus has a pick - up point at Hong Kong Disneyland Park and drop - off points at various hotels in Macau, such as the Venetian, Wynn Palace, and MGM.​

• Advantages: It offers a direct connection from Disneyland to popular Macau resorts, which is very convenient if you are staying at one of these hotels. You don't need to worry about multiple transfers. However, the number of trips is relatively small, mainly concentrated after 6 pm, and the departure time is fixed. So, you need to plan your schedule according to the bus timings.​
   

5. MTR and Golden Bus (Suitable for Travelers Who Don't Mind Multiple Transfers and Want to Save Money)​

• Route: Take the MTR from Hong Kong Disneyland Station to Sunny Bay Station, transfer to the B5 bus to the Hong Kong - Zhaui - Macau Bridge Hong Kong Port, then take the Golden Bus to the Macau Port.​

• Advantages: This is the most cost - effective option among all. The total cost is 8 HKD (MTR fare)+5.8 HKD (bus fare)+65 HKD (Golden Bus fare) per person. But it takes the longest time, about 2.5 hours, and involves multiple transfers. So, if you have enough time and want to save money, and don't mind the hassle of changing transportation several times, this could be a good choice for you.​

Things to note

1. Visa Requirements: Citizens of 82 countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, and Malaysia, can enter Macau without a visa. However, since July 1, 2010, citizens of Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam holding ordinary passports and some holding official passports must obtain a visa in advance and are no longer eligible for on - arrival visas. These six - country citizens with diplomatic passports still enjoy visa - free treatment. Other nationalities can apply for an entry permit upon arrival in Macau.
    
2. Transportation Arrangements: There are various transportation options. For cross - border chartered cars, it is necessary to book in advance and confirm whether all fees are included to avoid additional costs. The TurboJET ferry has limited schedules, so it is necessary to check the departure time in advance, especially for those prone to seasickness, this option needs to be carefully considered. The Golden Bus combined with a shuttle bus is more cost - effective, but it involves transfers and is troublesome for those with a lot of luggage.
    
3. Border Formalities: When crossing the border, foreigners need to go through the clearance procedures as required. They should bring their valid passports and other relevant documents, and be prepared to answer questions from border control personnel. During peak tourist seasons, there may be long queues at the border, so it is advisable to arrive at the port in advance and allow enough time for border crossing procedures.
    
4. Currency and Payment: The currency in Macau is the Macau pataca, but Hong Kong dollars are also widely used. When making payments, especially in some small shops or markets, there may be situations where change is given in Macau patacas. It is recommended to prepare some small - denomination cash in advance for convenient use.
    
5. Language Communication: Although some people in Macau can speak English, in some local shops, markets, or transportation hubs, there may be more Chinese - language signs and announcements. It is advisable to download a translation app on your mobile phone to facilitate communication.
    
6. Luggage Regulations: Different transportation methods have different regulations on luggage. For example, when taking the Golden Bus, there may be certain restrictions on the size and weight of luggage. When taking a ferry, there are also regulations on the quantity and weight of carry - on and checked luggage. It is necessary to understand these regulations in advance to avoid unnecessary troubles.
