Néih hóu! Hong Kong is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city with a unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures. It is a global financial center, a major tourist destination, and a foodie’s heaven. If you have already explored Hong Kong and are looking to venture further, consider taking a day tour from Hong Kong to Macau. Begin your journey in the morning by heading to the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal (Sheung Wan Ferry Pier), where you can catch a Cotai Ferry Jet Ferry to Macau. The ferry ride takes about 1 hour and will bring you to Macau Taipa Ferry Terminal).
Upon arriving in Macau, start your exploration by visiting some of the iconic landmarks. The first stop could be the Ruins of St. Paul’s, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This magnificent structure features a facade adorned with statues of saints, angels, and dragons, showcasing a fusion of Portuguese and Chinese influences. The grandeur of the church’s facade and the intricate carvings are truly awe-inspiring. Take the opportunity to climb the stairs to the top of the facade, where you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of Macau and the Pearl River Delta.
Next, make your way to Fortaleza do Monte, also known as “Mount Fortress.” This 17th-century fortification was originally built by the Jesuits and served as a defensive system. Climb Mount Hill within the fort and enjoy panoramic views of the city of Macau from its balustrades. As you explore, you’ll also come across old cannons, providing a glimpse into the fort’s historical significance.
Afterward, take a leisurely stroll to Senado Square, a vibrant public square situated in the heart of Macau. Visiting Senado Square immerses you in the city’s unique culture and heritage. The colonial-style buildings that surround the square serve as reminders of Macau’s Portuguese past, while the numerous shops and restaurants offer a delightful experience of the city’s diverse culinary scene.
Make sure to pay a visit to the A-Ma Temple, the oldest temple in Macau, dedicated to the goddess Mazu, who is revered as the protector of seafarers. Explore the various buildings within the temple complex and learn about their religious significance.

I travel a lot for work and usually avoid group tours, so this private Macau trip was ideal. The guide adjusted the itinerary when I wanted to spend more time at the Ruins of St. Paul’s and less at the casinos. Everything felt customized, from the pickup to the ferry tickets. Highly recommended for busy travelers.
