Review for: Star Ferry Harbour Tour - Shining Star (17:45-18:30)

I took the ferry that departed just before 6pm at the end of November. Unfortunately, the photo shows a hazy view due to drizzle, but the night view from the sea is worth seeing! However, although you can go out to the bow and stern, you don't need to wear a life jacket, so it's dangerous when the boat rocks. The staff is friendly, and the inside of the boat is bright and clean. When we departed, we were given a bottle of water or juice as a gift. The night views on both sides were amazing!

Review for: Chinese New Year Fireworks Harbour Tour - World Star (18:00 - 21:30)

The counter was quite easy to find, just have to look up for the Star Ferry Water Tour signage. Walk further down from the Wan Chai ferry entrance/Mammy Pancake and you will see the small booth for ticket redemption. Staff was helpful and could converse in simple English. We enjoyed the tour and the astounding fireworks. The upper deck was decorated to the festive season. There was even a magic show on board as the ferry made the tour after the fireworks.

Review for: A Symphony of Lights - World Star / Shining Star(19:45 - 20:30)

Loved this tour. It’s a 45 mins harbour tour. Wish it was a bit longer. Not sure if it’s worth over $240 for an adult. Light show was fun. It’s nothing to do with operator but the day we joined it was very foggy. Pick a clear day to visit.

Review for: A Symphony of Lights - World Star / Shining Star(19:45 - 20:30)

It was quite pretty and fun, but I always enjoy being on the sea. The staff was very friendly and helpful after I originally forgot to exchange my Klook voucher for the actual ticket. The Victoria harbour view is spectacular and the Symphony of Lights is okay/nice enough, though different than I had imagined
