The bridge connecting Hong Kong to Macau and Zhuhai via land, which was inaugurated in 2018, revolutionized transportation between the cities, making travelling more efficient, comfortable and streamlined. Gone are the days where taking a ferry directly from Hong Kong airport was the only option in order to arrive in Macau, or Zhuhai.

This practical guide aimed at MICE organizers, explores three options available in order to reach Macau (from Hong Kong airport) via de HK-ZH-MO bridge.

Option 1: Private Transfer by 6-Seater Van (up to 4 pax when carrying luggage)

For those seeking a comfortable, direct, and private transfer, a 6-seater van is an excellent choice. You can clear immigration from inside the vehicle, as long as your passport is from a visa-free country.

This option provides exclusivity and ease for travelers who prefer a hassle-free experience.

Option 2: Hong Kong Airport-Macau Direct Bus

For those looking for a straight-forward and comfortable way to travel between Hong Kong and Macau. It provides a direct connection across the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (HZMB) without the need for transfers. Your hold luggage will get directly sent to the bus, meaning you don’t have to carry around heavy pieces of luggage.

This option also means that you stay inside the international area of the airport, meaning you only have  to clear immigration when arriving in Macau.

This transport mode is recommended for experienced travelers, since you have to clear immigration, leave the airport, make your way into the Bridge Port by taxi, and then take a shuttle bus to Macau.
