Is the ferry from Hong Kong to Macau crowded during weekends?
We plan to take the ferry from Hong Kong (Sheung Wan) to Macau (Outer Harbour) on the morning of either Saturday (23rd Aug, 2014) or Sunday (24th Aug). Will it be so crowded that one is usually not able to take the very next ferry?
(I am trying to figure if, e.g., we should buy our tickets in advance, or go to the harbour earlier than planned.)

How many days in Macau is enough?
Bottom line. Macau is well worth a day trip from Hong Kong and I feel that a full day is sufficient enough to see almost everything you'd want to see. 2 days is a bit top much considering there are probably other things you probably want to do (and eat) in HK and nearby islands.How long is the ferry ride from Hong Kong to Macau?
The TurboJet takes around 50 minutes to reach Macau from Hong Kong Ferry Terminal, whereas the Cotai Water Jet takes 60 minutes. While both the ferries run every 15 minutes, i.e. from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM and 5:30 PM to 7:00 AM, TurboJet also runs special ferries at night, peak hours, and during holidays and festivals.Is Macau worth visiting from Hong Kong?
Macau has some great tourist attractions \u2013 it's culturally vibrant, surprisingly green, and offers a strange and exciting mix of Chinese and Portuguese cultures. Macau has a pretty fantastic culinary scene, too. In my opinion, it's definitely worth it to visit Macau if you have a spare day in Hong Kong.How much is the ferry from Hong Kong to Macau?
