Ferry (high speed boat) make sure you get off at Sheung Wan MTR station.
Don't use the red self serve machines...we could've been reading it wrong but the prices were double than buying from agent. There were 4 of us and to get a round trip the tickets were 160 per person Honk Kong dollars. Approx $27 CAD. Otherwise for one persons 170 HKD. Ferries run every half hr starting. From 15 past and quarter to. ( for ex. 13:15 or 13:45)
****REMEMBER YOUR PASSPORT****
I forgot mine, had to take an hr later ferry and got separated from friends :(
No meals included in the ride that is around 1 hr and you must catch the last boat by 9 or 930pm to head back to HK I believe in the evening. You can buy refreshments and what not on the boat. Its super chilly as the blast the AC.
Things to do in Macau:
1) World famous Portuguese tarts.
We took an uber from the ferry station into the "city" ...worth it if you have a few travelers with you. I forget how much it costs I wanna say it was around 70 HKD for the whole trip, and the drive was pretty far.
The tarsts are amazing (see pics below). The store is apparently always busy, so the tarts are always warm and the crust is always flakey!! Do not expect the Portuguese style ones though with the crazy custard cause that`s not what these are like. These are like traditional Chinese "dan tat" except they're 1000X better! They are deeper than the chinese ones and the tops are burnt like the portugese ones. Each tarts was 9 HKD or 6/50 HKD. My mouth is watering just thinking about them haha!!!
2) The famous church wall that is the remnants of the whole church. (St. Paul) Not gonna lie super touristy a lot of China folks and Korean too surprisingly... all the seflie sticks....kinda hard to get some good photos.
3) From #2 you walk down into the "village" of shops and restaurants. There you find a tightly cobble stone area full of shops and it is crammed to the fullest. There you will find tons of beef jerky and Asian cookies and other unhealthy snacks. After finishing in that area we walked down onto the major streets where cars have access to. And again just tons of jewelry shops, clothing etc. I didn't like it much but depends what you're into. Then as you keep walking you will eventually hit the casinos. We went to one that had a large globe/sphere attached. No wifi in there like WTF!!!! From there it was getting late so we decided to head back to HK to wrap up the day.
