ABOUT HONG KONG
REGATTA VENUE
Sailing will take place from the RHKYC’s Middle Island facility, which is based on the south side of Hong Kong island. Hong Kong has an excellent public transport service which means that Middle Island can be reached easily by taxi or bus from anywhere on Hong Kong island.
There will be ferries going between middle island and Hong Kong Island. To access these ferries, walk down to the Seaview Promenade opposite Middle Island.
For visual instructions of how to get there, view the link below.
TRANSPORT: AIRPORT TO THE CITY
The easiest way to get from the airport is to take the train. Buy a Airport Express ticket at the airport – credit cards accepted. The Airport Express runs every 10 minutes and the journey is approximately 24 minutes long bringing visitors into the Hong Kong Express station in Central. From here, you can take a taxi to your final destination hotel or get the MTR ( local train) from Central station.
A taxi from the airport to Hong Kong Island will cost approximately HK $360-$380. There are tunnel fees included in this cost.
Check with your hotel for alternate direct service transport.
