Hong Kong is getting a new pet friendly ferry

Newly completed and ready to welcome its first travellers, the WestK Ferry had its official launch ceremony on 14th November.

Vessels will set sail between WestK Quay and Central Pier No. 9, providing seamless connection between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and cutting down travel time to just eight minutes, as reaching WestK from the Island side will be more direct than ever. Operated by the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority and Fortune Ferry Company Limited, the ferries bear designs co-created with Hong Kong Design Institute students. 

Ferries are scheduled to run every 30 minutes from each side, from 8am to 10pm on weekdays, and 8am to 11pm on weekends and public holidays. You will be travelling in comfort as well – the WestK Ferry will be kitted out with air-conditioned cabins, and pets and bikes are allowed on board, making the journey to the pet-friendly cultural district even easier!

Single-journey fares cost $20 per adult and $20 per pet, while children aged three to 11, seniors aged 65 or above, and persons with disabilities can enjoy the $10 concession fare.
