Your "Must See" on a Hong Kong Local Tour - Star Ferry

One of Hong Kong's distinctive icons is the Star Ferry. Founded in 1888 there are 12 ferries in the fleet that currently operate two routes across the harbour. If you are on a Hong Kong City Tour, you will definitely have the opportunity to cross from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon with the Star Ferry as we are using the ferries on our walking tours of Hong Kong. You will immediately spot these green and white passenger boats crossing the waters every 10 minutes during your Kowloon walking tour. Even National Geographic Traveler has named the Star Ferry as one of the "fifty places of a lifetime".

During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, the ferries were used to transport prisoners of war from Sham Shui Po to Kai Tak Airport.
