After a short visit to Mount Rigi, we boarded the cogwheel train to Vitznau, a picturesque town nestled on the shores of Lake Lucerne. Having checked the ferry schedule in advance, we ensured perfect timing to catch our ride. From the dock, the view of Lake Lucerne was absolutely stunning. The ferry journey from Vitznau to Luzern offered a tranquil and scenic way to immerse ourselves in the region's natural beauty. With seating options both on the open deck and indoors, the ferry provided a comfortable experience.

Turbo Jet Ferry from Macau to Shenzhen ⛴️
#myhiddengems
During our Greater Bay Area Trip, we tried to experience as many different transportation as we can! On the day travelling from Macau to Shenzhen, we chose Turbo Jet and it was special!
We departed from Macau Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal as we stayed at Peninsula. It’s reachable by bus. You can opt for Taipa Ferry Terminal if you stay at Taipa. Then we bought the ticket at the counter which costs MOP260 per person one way. I suggest you to check the schedule online and plan your trip cuz the ferry is not that frequent for this route.
While waiting, there were some souvenir shops and restaurants here.
Around 20-30min before departure, get through the border custom. Make sure you show up at gate least 15 min before departure. You can put your hand carry luggage on the ferry while onboard.
Around 45min later, we arrived at Shenzhen Shekou Terminal, got luggage and passed through the customs, arrived in mainland!
It was a fun and unique experience. Recommend for people who like to try new things! But make sure you get seasick!

Vitznau Pier is a charming and picturesque spot located on the shores of Lake Lucerne in the village of Vitznau, Switzerland. If you’re coming down from Mount Rigi, the cogwheel train from Rigi Kulm terminates near the pier. Vitznau Pier is one of the key departure points for boat cruises on Lake Lucerne. The boat trips offer spectacular views of the lakeside villages, castles, and the surrounding alpine scenery. The pier offers stunning views of Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains, including Mount Rigi and the peaks of the Swiss Alps. The clear waters of the lake and the backdrop of lush green hills create a postcard-perfect scene.

🇨🇭 Picturesque Gunten Pier @ Lake Thun
Gunten Pier is one of the most beautiful piers that I have been to. The pier offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the lake, and is a popular spot for boat cruises, fishing, and relaxation. We found this hidden gem by chance after visiting the Panorama bridge Sigriswil as we wanted to try the ferry ride on Lake Thun, the largest lake in the Bernese Oberland. We took bus 25 from Sigriswil and alighted at Gunten Dorf. The pier is a short walk away from the bus stop. It can also be reached by taking bus 25 from Thun or bus 21 from either Interlaken or Thun train station. Check the ferry schedule in advance. If you have a Swiss Travel Pass, the ferry ride and bus ride are free!

🇨🇭 A leisure afternoon cruise on Lake Thun 🚢
After visiting the Panorama bridge Sigriswil, we took the ferry from Gunten Dorf nearby back to Thun across the beautiful Lake Thun, the largest lake in the Bernese Oberland.
The two-hour boat trip on Lake Thun starts from Interlaken West, stopping at 10 jetties before ending at Thun. You can hop on the boat at any jetty as long as the timing is right. There is a restaurant on board which serves Swiss cuisine. If you don't feel like eating, you can just sit around while enjoying the stunning views of green meadows, forests and Swiss Alps beyond. You can also see five fairytale style castles located on different parts by the shores of Lake Thun.

A Cow island of Jeju 🐄🏝️
No, there are no animals, just in Chinese it’ll be pronounced as 牛(niu - which means a “cow”)岛, but in Korean and English you’ll see the name as Udo island.
⛴️If you travel to Jeju and have extra time - can visit this island too. I recommend too combine it with visiting the Sunrise peak there. Because one of the ports to Udo island is very close to it.
🗺️After finishing with taking photos at the Ilchulbong hill, check the Apple Maps (worked well) or local NAVER map for the closest port - it’s easy to get there by one of the buses and walk a few minutes more.
🛟Buying ferry ticket is easy and fast, we bought round way one. The last ferry back departs at around 5pm.
It took only about 15 min to travel.
🚌Then you can choose to explore the island by foot.
But I recommend to immediately turn right to the bus station and purchase a ticket around the whole island. It’s very convenient as you can stop on your way at any stop, and continue at another next bus. So it works as a pass.
There are many cute coffee and ice cream shops, beaches, caves and the most out favorite one is a lighthouse.
🌧️☀️It was rainy for us, what made it even more special. But during the sunny weather it’s definitely brighter and more picturesque there!

Hiking at Cheung Chau Island in HongKong
Spend half a day to hike and walk around the island of Cheung Chau despite the rain in Jul 2023. Highly recommend to try the fruit mochi (mango was awesome!) and the rice roll with dough fritter (dip with sesame sauce). Plenty of supermarket and 7-11 near the jetty so you can grab water easily. Would have loved to come earlier in the morning to hike and have lunch. There wasnt any great stores that caught my attention for dinner so we went back to main HK island instead. Just take the ferry with octopus card. Really convenient! #cheungchau #hongkong #naturelover #hiking #ferry #food
Iconic HK attraction
The Star Ferry is a must ride if you're in HK. It used to be one the few options to cross the harbor before the cross harbor tunnels were built. It is still the cheapest way to get from HK to Kowloon and vice versa. It is much slower than the MTR or bus, but it's much more scenic and fun! So do try it out if you have time.
Along the way, you'll be treated with breathtaking views of the HK skyline. There is an open air section as well as an indoor air conditioned section. I recommend the outdoor section as the views are much better.
Use the Star Ferry for a traditional and historic HK experience that you won't regret!

Crash Landing on Sigriswil bridge!!
If you are a fan of the Korean drama Crash Landing On You, you will surely recognise Panorama bridge Sigriswil as the location where the male and female leads first met each other. It became a popular tourist spot especially among Asians since then.
Sigriswil panoramic bridge is a 340-m long suspension bridge above Gummischlucht gorge between Sigriswil and Aeschlen. It is accessible by public transport by taking bus 25 from Thun train station to Sigriswil, Dorf (the final stop). Crossing the bridge as a tourist is not free though. There's a ticket booth at the entrance of the bridge which collects CHF 6 per person, which contributes to funding for bridge maintenance.
Even if you're not a fan of the drama, you can still visit this place for the magnificent vieww of the famous Bernese Oberland peaks, the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, as well as Lake Thun. There are also some hiking trails nearby if you want to explore more than just the bridge.
After visiting the bridge, if the timing is right, instead of taking bus 25 back to Thun train station, you can alight at Gunten Dorf a few stops away from Sigriswil and catch the ferry which takes you back to either Thun or Interlaken across the beautiful Lake Thun. Check the ferry schedule in advance. If you have a Swiss Travel Pass, the ferry ride and bus ride are free!

OCEAN JET: FAST AND EASY
I am travelling from the sea port of Iloilo City to BREDCO Port in Bacolod City via Ocean Jet fast craft . The estimated travel time is one hour to one hour and thirty minutes. The distance between iloilo and bacolod is 42 kms. The tickets fare depends on the accomodation- open air for 550php, tourist class for 550php amd business class for 800php. I choose the airconditioned accomodation for tourist class. Ocean Jet is famous fast craft ferry service for its cleanliness, convenience amd comfort while travelling. Feeling safe is the most important word in travelling inter-island. I arrive at my destination safe and sound. #CelebrateWithTrip#tripblazers#MyTripVlog#ferry
Oriental Cruise in Hongkong. (if you never been to a cruise ship, this is the best to try!! 🛥️
Getting There - The easiest way for the public to get to Hung hom ferry station is to ride by MTR and take off at Wampoa exit C2. (if you will exit at Hung hom station, you would likely to walk a bit more)
Attractions - you’ll get attracted to the close up view of the 360 harbour view of the sky scraper of Hongkong. I think in my personal experience, its best to check first the weather before buying a ticket. Best view is sunset around 5p-6 or the light show around 7-8pm.
Hotels - KERRY Hotel (5stars hotel just in front of the ferry station) HARBOUR PLAZA HOTEL (beside to the ferry station) HARBOUR PLAZA METROPOLITAN (you need to walk 6-8 mins because it is licated at hung hom station exit C2)
Food & Restaurants - There are plenty of restaurants you can can choose. Just room
around the place near the harbour 😉
Shopping - lots of shopping centre. the best one for me is the Wampoa ferry ship shopping centre. you would be surprise that its a shopping centre inside not a ship. #cruise #fun #shopping #experience #ferry #harbour #view
The Peak Tram adventure HK
#newyearadventure #yearofrabbit
How do I get there?
From the Harbour City, take a ferry; it will cost only about 3 Hong Kong dollars to buy a chip in the machine, then get off. You can easily just follow a map and walk to the Peak tram.
The peak tram sky pass + sky terrace costs 148$ (return) and 122$ (single). You can check out more information in the video.
Note: It can be a long line to buy a ticket, especially if it's a holiday, so be prepared for it.
There's also a ticket booth outside if you want to see Madame Tussaud's.
It would be nice to see it from daytime until nighttime to see the beautiful cityscape of Hong Kong.

Massage, shopping and such!
tam is just about an hour and 15 minutes Ferry ride from Singapore. It is a place where you can enjoy good food, inexpensive grocery items and great massage! The massage I had in Batam was one of the most favourite massages I ever had. The beef rendang they have is delicious! We also went to an attraction they have which is called the miniature houses. It was just a quick day trip getaway. I’ll definitely go back! #mytrip #donnahotheexplorer #batam #indonesia #tripblazers #ferry #traveldiary #travelog

Take a Ferry to St. Marguerite Island
This is one of the famous landmarks in the area. We didn’t have the time to go to the island but did see it from afar from the castle hill.
This is where it took the Man in the Iron Mask 11 years to leave the tiny, forested St Marguerite Island. The mysterious individual was believed to be of noble blood, but his identity has never been proven. His cell can be visited in the Fort of St Marguerite, now renamed the Musée de la Mer (Museum of the Sea).
This museum also houses discoveries from shipwrecks off the island, including Roman (1st century BC) and Saracen (10th century AD) ceramics.
Checkinaway (@checkinawayblog) Enjoying the Staten Island ferry
#nyinsider #newyorkcity #unitedstates #ferry
How about a free ride on the ferry combined with amazing views? I will take that any time.
The Staten Island ferry is free of charge and anyone can board the ferry. The Staten Island Ferry is a free service provided by the City of New York. Be aware of scammers trying to sell tickets.
The Ferry runs 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week. More frequent service, (every 15 or 20 minutes,) is provided on the weekdays during the rush hours of 6:00AM- 9:30AM and 3:30PM-8:00PM, with 30-minute service to follow. On weekends, service is provided every 30 minutes on Saturdays and Sundays.
Checkinaway (@checkinawayblog) Must do - go on the Staten Island ferry
#nyinsider #newyorkcity #unitedstates #ferry #tripblazers #mustdo
We were really happy to go on the Staten Island ferry and would certainly recommend this to you all.
The service is free ... believe it or not. Travel time in either direction between St. George and Whitehall is approximately 25 minutes. You cross from one point to another and get to see the Statue of Liberty.
The highlight for us was seeing the London skyline (last photo) in the evening. Beautiful lights, tall beautiful buildings and breathtaking views ✨️ 😍 ❤️
The Staten Island ferry is a commuter ferry; however, no one says you can’t go on it for pure photography reasons. And that we sure did.
Checkinaway (@checkinawayblog) HarbourFront ferry terminal
Address - HarbourFront Centre, 1 Maritime Square, #02-53/54/55, Singapore 099253
Taking a ferry to the nearby destinations from Singapore is really convenient. Within the building itself, there are many ferry service providers to choose from. Different prices will command different levels of comfort and luxury, but all are generally reliable.
If you have time before or after your ferry ride, there is even a massage and spa store on site. There are also various eateries to grab a bite at if you’re feeling hungry. Very well-equipped terminal.
My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#sginsider #exploresgtogether #momentssg #tripmoments #ferry #spa #singapore
Sail to Staten Island but to see her
Of course you can see the Statue of Liberty from Manhattan, or sail there on a tour. However, I would prefer to take a ferry to Staten Island.
Not only can I enjoy sailing past the Statue, I am also able to catch the breathtaking view of New York skyline on the way there.
The Staten Island ferry is free so do not trust anyone that asks you to pay for it. The travel time in either direction between St. George (Staten Island) and Whitehall (Manhattan) is 25 minutes so you can enjoy the ferry ride in peace.
Upon arrival in Staten Island, it is also worth walking around the neighbourhood before hopping back to Manhattan on another ferry.

Beautiful boats ⛴
I believe Hong Kong’s public ferry service has the most beautiful boats. The service is cheap and costs less than 5 HKD 💸 and provides wonderful rides across Victoria Harbor and most of the islands. Trying it is a must for everyone visiting city.I am sure you will like the ride and views. ⛴🛳🚢
