Hong Kong Airport to Ocean Park

Hong Kong Red Taxi

Hello,

Our family (2 adults, 3 kids (9, 7, 5) has a day-long stopover in Hong Kong (arrive at the International Airport at 7:20am and then flight out at 6:10pm). I'm wondering if we have enough time to go to Ocean Park.

Could you please let me know how we would get there (by taxi and by public transport), how long each option would take, and how much it would cost?

If we don't have enough time, can anyone suggest anything else easy that would be great to do with kids for the day. We'll be pretty tired and I don't think they'll be into markets or shopping unfortunately.

Many thanks.

Re: Hong Kong Airport to Ocean Park.

Hi there,

I think your time is a little bit short but you can cover almost all the park's main attractions as you should be there already when the park open at 9:00 in the morning and then you can get back to the airport around 4:00 pm.

Ocean Park is situated in southern part of the Hong Kong island and here's the efficient way in getting there;

Option 1) By TAXI (recommended).
When you get into the Arrival Hall at Hong Kong international airport, the taxi stand is in the left side (right side for bus) upon exit or see and follow directional signs. Take the taxi (2 adults + 3 kids is fine) going straight to Ocean park for about 40 to 45 minutes, HK$300 taxi fare.

Take the RED taxi, they will serve all destinations throughout Hong Kong, BLUE taxi is serving for all destinations in Lantau and the airport only, and GREEN taxi is only for New Territories and specific roads in Lantau island.

Option 2) By Airport Express Trains then Taxi.
Take the Airport Express trains that will take you directly to the Hong Kong island (Hong Kong station) about 24 minutes, HK$100 / person. Then take a taxi to Ocean Park around 15 minutes, HK$80.

Options 3) By BUS (not recommended). There's no bus direct route for Ocean Park. You need to take the Bus (Citybus) N11 that brings you to Admiralty station, Hong Kong island for about an hour travel, HK$31. Then the bus that brings you to the park is a special express BUS (Citybus) 629 that can be found at Admiralty MTR station Exit B (or at bus terminus in Central Star Ferry), HK$10.6 about 25 minutes travel time straight to the park.

Other Hong Kong attractions that we can recommend for your stop over time in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong Disneyland which is in the same island with the airport. It will only take about 25 minutes from HKIA or see here for detailed information in getting there.

Hope you enjoy your short stay in Hong Kong and make the most of it.

@ Zairus,

Before I can give to you the specific route details in getting to Ocean Park. It is important that first I need to know the specific location of starting point or from where you're staying at.

I assume that you wanted to know how to get to Ocean Park from your hotel then I need to know the hotel name.

Waiting for your reply.

@ frances,

Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel is rated 5-star hotel located at Hong Kong Disneyland, Lantau Island, Hong Kong.

Here's a cheaper yet efficient way to travel from Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel to Ocean Park:
Take the hotel free shuttle bus (bus service hours: 6:00am to 1:00am) to the Disneyland Resort Public Transport Interchange (PTI) --> walk to the nearby Disneyland Resort MTR station --> take the trains to Sunny Bay station --> interchange trains to the Tung Chung Line and get off at Hong Kong station --> walk to the adjacent Central station --> take the Island Line train and get off at Admiralty station then take Exit B (travel time is 39 minutes @ HK$21.7) --> upon exit, get into the bus CTB 629 that will bring your straight to Ocean Park entrance (25 minutes @ HK$10.6). Children below 12 yrs. old are half fare.

how to get to Ocean Park
by: Anonymous

Hi,

My family (2 adults and 2 children) will be reaching HKG Int'l airport at 9.20 am and would like to visit the Ocean Park for the day. Is it ok, will i have sufficient time, as in by the time, we come out of the airport it will be 11 am.

So, I would like to know how much time it would take me to reach ocean world and what should be my mode of conveyance (taxi/bus) and what would be the fare?

Can ocean world be covered in 1/2 day. My focus is mostly on water front and the cable ride to up, the dolphin upstairs. Pls guide.

about getting to Ocean Park
by: HKinsider Don

Considering your group and to save your time, I would suggest you take a taxi from HK airport straight to Ocean Park. It takes about 40 - 45 minutes drive @ about HK$330. Hopefully, you'll arrive at Ocean Park before 12:00 noon which is still enough time to explore the park until 5:00pm or 6:00pm.

Once you arrive at Ocean Park, I suggest you proceed right away to the "Headland" attractions by taking the cable car to get a change to see the dolphin show that usually starts at 1:00pm and then later back to "Lowland" attractions to get a change to see the Giant Panda.

advise needed
by: Anonymous

Hi, My husband and I along with our 2 kids (6 and 10) are staying in Hongkong for three days. We plan to go to disneyland, ocean park, victoria peak, Ngong Ping 360 and Macau. Is it possible to visit all these?

We will be staying in BP International. On our first day, we plan to go to Macau first. On our second day, we are still undecided which between disneyland or ocean park to visit. Since our flight on our third day is at 5 pm, is it better to visit disneyland or ocean park on that day?

I am having a hard time deciding which between the two is easier to tour (less time).

Please give your advise.

Thank u very much.

Re: Advise needed
by: HKinsider stellar

Hello :)

Here's my recommendation.

day1: Macau--> Victoria Peak

*a day in Macau is enough, leave early evening to give time to the Peak

day2: Ngong Ping 360--> Disneyland (don't miss the "Disney in the Stars" fireworks at 8pm)

*get to ngong ping early in the morning to start your disney tour at noon.

day3: Ocean Park--> HK Airport

Ocean Park guide
by: ryan

Hello,

Me and my wife will have a long stopover in Hong Kong (arrived at the international airport at 13:25 and then flight out the following day at 8:50 am). I’m wondering if we have enough time and maximize to visit ocean park and maximized the time until it will be closet and back to the airport.

can we still go back to the airport at late night?

my target area is the adventure land and the marine world

thanks

RE: Ocean Park guide
by: HKinsider Don

Hello Ryan,

I think it is very doable in you time. The fastest way to travel from HKIA to Ocean Park is by taking a taxi for about 50 minutes drive @ HK$350, you could get to Ocean Park before 3:00pm and the park is still open until 7:00pm. And there's nothing to worry about getting back to HK airport as taxis are always available in HK 24 hrs.

Here's a detailed instruction and travel options in getting to Ocean Park from HK airport.

RE: Ocean Park guide

Hi Ryan, I think both parks are fine but I think Ocean Park is lot more fun and educational. But yes, considering your time, you can explore more in Disneyland.

Also, I would recommend you read this topic for our itinerary suggestions for short time stay in Hong Kong.

Ocean Park to Airport
by: Anonymous

Hello,

In early May we will be going to HK for the day. Since our flight arrives at 1am we will just stay in the airport until morning then we plan on going to Nan Lian garden (is it worth the time to go there?) by either mtr or bus. We plan on staying there an hour or two in early morning before Ocean Park opens. We then plan on spending the rest of the day in Ocean Park.

I'm curious what the best way of getting FROM Ocean Park to the airport is. I see a lot of directions showing you how to get to Ocean Park but not many FROM Ocean Park. Which route do you recommend?

Btw the day will be a Friday.

This is what we were considering to get to Nan Lian and OP

airport-tseung kwan (a29) $42 takes u to diamond hill (nan lian) exit c2

diamond hill-abderleen (671) $11 takes you to ocean park

Any advice you can offer would be helpful since we are on a short schedule and our flight leaves at midnight the same day.

Thank you very much

Follow-up on the previous comment

Hello all,

I'm the one who went to HK in early May in the last comment. We decided instead of going to the gardens to instead go to "Hong Kong Park" right next to Admiralty station since its directly on the way.

It was a good decision and the park was very nice. We spent an hour or two there then the rest of the day at Ocean Park. It turned out to be about the perfect amount of time for each. Ocean Park wasn't nearly as crowded as I imagined (compared to parks in the US) so the lines were short. The rides aren't very impressive but I'm a bit spoiled growing up near one of the best roller coaster parks in the world (Cedar Point).

Hong Kong overall was beautiful. Very, very clean and the people were very polite. We intend to return for a longer visit.

To get to Ocean Park from the airport and back again we took the following route:

A11 bus to Admiralty station, then the 629 bus directly to the park. Ocean Park tickets were sold at the bus stop and the line was very short.

On the way back we took the 629 back to Admiralty and then the E11 to the airport.

Paid with the Octopus card and everything went smoothly.

My only complaint was the food at Ocean Park was mediocre at best and vastly overpriced...but overall it was a good time.
