A 60-75 minutes ferry journey going to Macau but it depends on the weather and sea conditions. Just last weekend, there is a low pressure area, so our trip  went to 1 and half hour including the embarkation/disembakation. For an economy class, fare is 165hkd for a day trip, 190hkd for a night trip.

We bordered a CotaiJet one way ticket that cost 150HKD but it is actually 165hkd, there are lots of selling discounted ferry ticket going to macau. A round trip discounted ticket cost 320hkd only. We just got the one way ticket because we have a discount card that we will be using for Turbojet naman, Sayang din yun :)

See website for cotaijet and turbojet for updated fare and schedules.

After 90 minutes travel and  going through Macau Immigrations. We got out of the ferry terminal and  a Filipino guy approached us and asked if we need a tour guide. We didn't get a tour guide because we just want to go  to the ruins. We bordered a free shuttle bus going to Wynn Hotel.

There are lots of shops, restaurants, outlet stores and Koi Kei bakery that sells macau delicacies. Egg tart must try here, i'ts just 9hkd only. And also must try is there beef jerky, that taste like tocino or ham in our version. There are lots of free taste going to the ruins. And i must say that it is very delicious, in short nabusog ako :) Hehehe....
