Want to know what's between Hong Kong and Macau? Water of course! About an hour's worth of it when taking a hydrofoil.

Besides the water you can see some interesting barely inhabited islands, shipping vessels, and of course other hydrofoils shipping people with money to lose to Macau, and people with empty pockets back (those that win at the casinos will probably spend a good chunk taking the chopper back).

What's the best way to kill time when going across? Well film the trip of course! At least that way you know you can bore everyone else with your video when you get back!

  • Jetfoil

    The hydrofoil used on the Macau to Hong Kong run is the Boeing Jetfoil. It is the most sophisicated hydrofoil ever built and uses computer controlled streering to blance the boat on the foils. The Boeing company built it at their plant near Seattle Washington. While it was techically very successful, it proved to not be very popular. The only place that is still using the Jetfoil is on the Macau to Hong Kong route.

    I don't understand how you could get sea sick on the Jetfoil. Once it is up on the foils the ride is pretty smooth.
