MACAU TRAVEL GUIDE | Things To Do In Macao On A Day Trip from Hong Kong
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Come join us for a day trip from Hong Kong (香港) as we visit Macau covering the best things to do in one day in our Macau Travel Guide (澳門 - 澳门). We started off our day waking up early in Hong Kong to get to the ferry terminal to take a TurboJET ferry to Macao. Important remember to take your passport as you're crossing one special administration region in China to another (Hong Kong to Macau) and you'll need to go through immigration on both sides (it doesn't take long).
After arriving we took free transportation (provided by the casinos and hotels) to check out the Venetian Casino and Parisian Hotel. Then we were off to Taipa to mostly eat Macau street food and enjoy the old colonial architecture. We then made our way to Senado Square, the ruins of St. Paul's and Forte Monte while munching on plenty of Macanese street food before heading back to Hong Kong on a TurboJET ferry.
As you can see you can do a lot in just one day in Macau but a few things we didn't get to do included gambling at casinos, going up Macau Tower or checking out the A-Ma temple. For more of the things we missed out on but are worth considering doing in Macau see our two lists below.

Our visit Macau travel guide documentary covers some of the top attractions including a food guide (best restaurants and street food), top museums and Macau at night and by day. We also cover off-the-beaten-path activities you won't find in a typical Macau itinerary, Macau tourism brochure or Macau city tour.
Macau Travel Guide - Macao Day Trip from Hong Kong Travel Food Video Transcript:
Well good morning from Hong Kong. It is seven in the morning. A little early to be out in my opinion but today we're going to Macau. Special day.
So we've got our tickets for Macau. Woo! 160 Hong Kong dollars each. It is just over $20 US bucks and they give you your seats as you basically arrive. Just after you go through immigration. Yeah so we just got these little stickers. We're 17M and 17K and guys don't forget to bring your passport because technically you're going to a different special administrative region. You're going from Hong Kong to Macau.
This is part of our Travel in Macau video series showcasing Macau food, Macau culture and Macau cuisine.

I am Macanese, thanks for coming to Macau. The video can be known and found out more things in Macau, let foreign people know how interesting. Especially Portuguese and local Macau culture. Senado Square is one of the most symbolising one to Macau. Not only Casino are become the mainly sign of Macau. It is also a 400-year old "European old city".
Thank you! There certainly is quite a bit to do in Macau. I wish we had another day or two to explore.
HKPD HKPD the fact that macanese people still hace proud of their portuguese heritage make us very proud.

Awesome music and Macau
Thank you very much, Vanessa!
nice video thanks guys! a great overview of Macau and Audreys facial expressions alone make it worth viewing... looking forward to seeing more of your videos
cheers
Thank you very much!
That egg pudding looks amazing. I think they poke a hole and pour out the eggs, then flavor it, and pour it back in the cut/cleaned shell to bake at a very low heat.
Thanks! Ah, that would make sense. They sure were a nice surprise because we kind of had a list of things we wanted to try and this definitely wasn't on it.
Chocolate egg pudding?! I can't imagine what that would taste like! I just started making travel vlogs and Hong Kong is definitely on my to do list!
Thanks! It was a really nice surprise. That is exciting to hear about the vlogs :)
I absolutely love your channel, you guys give all the necessary info, great videos and of course you two are adorable!
Thank you very much!
Welcome to macao!
Thanks Chris!
Great video guys!
Thank you very much!
Awesome video, love you guys:)
Thank you!
Thanks for the tips. Will be there soon
Thanks SyaSha! Hope you have a great trip.
Love the music.
Thank you.
Everyone takes the shuttle bus to go to the casinos or places near the casinos, even the local people (including me). Not because its free, its because its direct. If you go to take the bus, from central Macau to Taipa and then to the casino area, it might take around an hour because of the stops. But if you take the shuttle bus it might take around 20 mins.
It realy looks like Lisboa! Even the street mosaic!
It sure does in many ways!
Calçada Portuguesa
so interesting 😉
Thank you!
Great video.
Thank you!
사무엘 모자가 멋있네요!. 즐거운 여행하세요~
고맙습니다! 우리는 한국 야구 경기에 참석하지 않습니다.
Aha, so Sam is a fellow egg disliker! That will make me watch more of your videos for sure! So far I've seen HK and this one. Very nice.
Thank you! I've just never been much of a fan...hehe
Def. trying to persuade my bf to go to Macau with me next year ^_~
That is cool to hear! Best wishes with that :)
So interesting! I've heard about the place but now you made me google the place. I try to learn more about how we Europeans spread our business around the world during the last thousand years (- start with our vikings), and how it made eg. UK so rich. At least for some hundred years.
Interesting that the casinos are more successful than the ones in Vegas, if Wiki is right.
Thank you! It is quite a fascinating place and it is fascinating how it became such a popular spot for casinos. I even notice a big difference from the time I visited for the 1st time almost 10 years ago.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos of
Wow she's lovely
Thank you!
O know this song. Speak about Bahia/Brazil. Interesting colonial portuguese architecture.
I really liked that you guys used brazilian music in the background :))))
Thank you!
felipe jannotti too much music. I love the street sounds. i must mute and use ear phones
nice ,,of the Macau also here right now
Loved your video. Great banter between the two of you and close interaction with the viewers I am sure. The point by point summary of the video with the time history is a handy guide. Have you guys been to Malaysia?
Thank you very much! We have visited KL, Malacca, Penang and the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia. We'd love to come back to visit more and also to go to Borneo.
Macau was a great daytrip from hk, lol I think I remember getting a free bus ride as well from one of the hotels to the ferry terminal.
That is cool to hear! We loved those free shuttle buses...haha
Samuel and Audrey you did a fantastic job by putting many subtitles in your videos.you know from your video I am gradually learning Korean language
Thank you very much! That is great to hear you are learning Korean.
Nice video.
Thank you!
The pork in the bread is call bifana em portugal
Thank you for letting us know!
You are welcome, and thank you for the video, i’m going to macau in november and i travel in the budget and the video has very helpfull
Love it
Thank you!
I seen that sam bit into the pork chop bone lol..like when Audrey eats something unsuspectingly spicy
+Abram L Beat me to it! I was going to comment on that. Notice how they cut away right after he bites down on that bone. LOL!
LOL, that was kind equally parts hilarious and disturbing at the same time. I thought for the first few seconds I'd be doing an emergency dentist visit ;)
Hahaha...you have a good eye!
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I seen what really went down on nomadic Samuel lol
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos
I think you should post a RUclips video of "Sam and Audrey Bloopers" and put that scene in. LOL! I would pay to see that.
Nice video visit Philippines next
Thanks! We really want to visit the Philippines.
Hi, would there be any problem in the immigration, if from philippines-hong kong then a day tour visit, to macau, then go back to hong kong before our flight, going back to the philippines? Decided to visit macau, after i saw your video,.
Thanks! It should be no problem as we got stamped in and out easily on our day trip.
hahhaha nextime I visit Macau.we take that free buss too
Definitely recommend it :)
after watching 16:53 mins, I still have no idea what Macao is like because all you did was focus on both your faces...less self-indulgent selfie photos and more turning the camera the other way to get an actual look at the area
MUY BUEN VÍDEO SALUDOS.
Gracias!
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos MI ESPOSA Y YO TAMBIEN TENEMOS PLANIFICADO IR A MACAU, TU VIDEO ME SIRVE DE BASE!!
like it excellent video make more 4k videos
Thank you!
Hi Audrey !!! you look like that girl from Dexter series. haha! regards from the philippines. :)
Thanks Tristan!
what type of camera did you use for selfie videos while you were talking to us .
and what type of camera for the scenes you shot and the videos you took.
kind tell me as i am going abroad for the 1st time. pretty excited
Thank you! For selfies we use the Canon G7X and for b-roll we use an Olympus OMD-EM5 ii with a 12-40 mm f/2.8 lens.
I like food
IM GOING HERE TOMORROW THE SAME BUILDING
That's awesome to hear! Have fun :)
Great video, we are heading out to Macau in March
Thank you! Exciting to hear!
how long did it take from when you arrived at the ferry port to get your tickets/show passport id +travel? So how long do you have to be there before your boat arrives?
Hey you! I am actually planning a trip to hong kong and macau. Just wanted to know what are the photography and videography equips i must be taking for making a vlog plus what gbs of memory backup is sufficient? Thank you and btw your vifeoa are awesome!
this dude is a robot, never blinks wtf
Great video, as usual :) Very nice day trip. Do they except HK dollars in Macau?
Thank yoU! Indeed, they do but not coins if a remember correctly.
Hi! Love all of your travel vlogs btw! ;) really helpful. Me and my fam are planning to visit Macau and Hong kong. Id like to know where we can get WIFI access in Macau? Is there a sim card that we can buy in Macau Airport? Hoping to hear ur tips. Thanks!
The background music needs to be from Portugal 🇵🇹 not from Brasil 🇧🇷 sense Macau has Portuguese influences 😊 love your video!
Thanks! Our bad with that. We had a pretty bad music catalog to choose from back then.
@@samuelandaudrey don't give attention to that comment, what is she aspecting? Fado music 🙄gosh
Great video. Just wondering, did you guys go to the casino? I heard that Macau's casino scene is even bigger than Las Vegas ! I wouldn't mind playing Black Jack and Roulette for stress relief :)
Thank you! We did visit the casinos but not the main gambling areas this time around. Apparently, the casinos and Macau generate more than 7 times the revenue than that on the strip in Vegas. We've seen new ones pop every time we've been back.
I was born there.
Cool to hear!
Hello! I am also planning to visit Macau just for a day trip. I would like to ask where did you took the ferry from? Tsim sha shui or sheung wan?
Hey! You can catch them from both terminals :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Did you took the one from Sheung Wan?
Hey guys, I just found your channel. Great video!
What’s the name of the place y’all were able to get that pork chop bun at noon at?
What about the almond cookies and the chocolate egg?
Bom video.
What kind of camera did you use to take this video?
Olympus OMD EM5 ii and a Canon G7X.
How far is Taipa from Venetian Casino? Is it within walking distance?
are u allowed to take the jerky to airport and on plane as a snack?
not sure about that to be honest
Is this video being made in december? It looks warm.
Which currency did u guys use in Macao? Is it hard to exchange it?
We used Macanese pataca. You can exchange or use HK dollars as well for the best exchange or other currencires. .
That’s near to my house it’s Greenville yea next to the hotel
That is really cool to hear.
Great video! but I'm curious about the background music, what is its name please?
Thank you! Sorry I forget the song name but it is from Audio Network.
Hello Sam and Audrey. How did you go from Taipa Village to Senado Square? Did you catch a shuttle bus in taipa? Please reply :)
Thanks! Our memory is slightly fuzzy but I remember us catching a free shuttle bus to one of the hotels on the other side that was not too far from Senado Square and then we walked about 20-25 minutes on foot to get there.
From taipa village you walk back to venetian and take the shuttle there? Thank you for the reply. Appreciate it.
Yes, exactly. Walk back to the casinos and grab something from there to the other side.
Thanks a lot Sam and Audrey. :) We based our trip to Hong Kong and Macau in your videos. More power. God bless!
I will visit Hong Kong and ready to go to Macau ...I know there are other options to go to Macau from Hong Kong do you know? And why do you prefer a boat?
We moved to HK before they build the casino
When was that?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos We moved to HK in 1960, I was only few years old. I didn't know about the casino then until in the 1980s'...
Where did you buy the ticket?
Can you help us guys! From hongkong how can we get to macau just for a day ? What to ride and where exact point of place . Thanks pls help us
We used TurboJet. You can decide whether to take it from Kowloon or Hong Kong Island depending on where you are staying:
Here is some info: www.turbojet.com.hk/en/
What are those shades mate?
Hi how long did i took you guys to get to macau from hk?
It is a really short ferry ride (around an hour) and they have frequent departures from both sides. Immigration is quick at both ends.
Nice tips for Macau, thx! You might wanna consider holding the camera farther away when vlogging :-)
Thanks!
I agree. The faces are too in ya face! Blocks out the scenery.
which store is the egg pudding?
Lord Stow's Bakery
how do you go back from Senado Square to the ferry terminal??
I would suggest catching a local bus or free casino transportation.
Taxi or bus very EASY
Good LUCK
love your video.. do you think you could help me, I wanted to follow ur itinerary for my solo tour, so do you think you could list down the places you went? thanks!
Macau - rio grande do norte
Nate? Canadian? I hear a subtle accent.Nikki? where are you from? Less accent, but, maybe also, Canadian? It's a hobby trying to place accents and cultural mannerisms. I am also a traveler (20 countries and 47 states in USA) I lived in Europe for 6 years. Yup. I heard you say "OWT" hehe.
Thanks! LOL, yep we're from Canada. Where in Europe did you live? That is really cool you've explored so much of the US. We'd love to do a big trip in Canada/US soon.
I lived in Nuremburg and Frankfurt Germany. It was a good base of operations. My parents made sure we went everywhere in Western Europe. Obvious favorite for me was Italy, second, Netherlands. I have been to only 3 provinces in Canada and have Lake Louise/ Banff on my bucket list. That will be easier since I recently, moved to eastern Washington state. I have been to Quebec, Ontario and BC
Thanks for featuring Macau. Check out some more videos on Macau.

Thanks!
I wish I have travel gir mate. hehe
Its on sanmalo
welcome to macau.do you have win small samll in macau?
I swear, on certain shots, it looks like you guys are in Vegas! Come on Sam admit it, you are editing your Vegas trip to the Venetian right? lol, they must use the same blue prints to build the casinos. Also, around the 11:09 where Audrey says "we are not moving, " then some guy is passing by her, Audrey says "ow" did that guy bump into her or something got snagged while he was walking away? I thought Audrey was going to open up some good ole can of whoop-ass, now that would have been awesome! lol. Oh by the way, I finally got the postcard you guys sent, thanks again!
Thanks! LOL, it sure does feel like Vegas once you're inside some of the casinos. The options in Macau are mind boggling. That crowd was intense. Kind of like rush-hour in Seoul or Hong Kong at the metro station...lots of elbows being thrown. I think had we decided to use some wrestling moves we may have been able to move forward a little fast ;) That's great to hear it arrived. That took a little while!
i dont understand how u got from HK to Macau in 1 hour when google says it takes 8 hours!? can u use star ferry pier as a start?
It is a fast ferry service. Yes, you can leave for a few different areas including Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.
Can u help me? Do i need to have a visa when i go to macau? If yes, how can i do that? I have us passport?
How to buy ferry ticket to macao??
You can book online or at the terminal. We've always gone with TurboJet.
the life peace is in hong kong2
are u really start your day from Hong Kong at 00.15 AM ??? it is literally in the middle of the night ??!!
Whatever happens in Macao stays in Macao :p
Haha!
Do you happen to remember the music you used in this video? :)
