About the Central Pier No. 3 at Man Kwong Street – Discovery Bay Ferry Pier at Plaza Lane, Discovery Bay, Lantau Island crossing
Eleven sailings run every day of the week, and they cover the hours nothing else does: 00:30 through to 23:50. Around that core sit twenty-five weekday-only departures between 07:20 and 18:50 and seventeen weekend ones from 08:30.
A twenty-four-hour private service
Discovery Bay has no public road connection to the rest of Lantau. The ferry is the only way in and out for most residents, which is why it runs at half past midnight and at one in the morning on Saturdays.
Twenty-five minutes across the harbour
From Central Pier 3 on Hong Kong Island north-west to Discovery Bay. The alternative involves a bus through the Discovery Bay tunnel, which is restricted to residents’ vehicles and licensed services.
Six calendars for sixty sailings
Weekday, weekend, all-week, Saturday-only, Sunday-only and Monday-to-Saturday groups all appear. The return leg holds sixty-two.
