Hong Kong Island, Shun Tak Centre, Helicopter-Ride to Macau

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 45-minute drive to the Shun Tak Centre on Hong Kong Island. Upon arrival and after immigration formalities (please take your passport with you), proceed to your awaiting 'Skyshuttle' helicopter for the short, yet exhilarating, ride to Macau. A Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China, tiny Macau is growing in size, with more buildings, international chains, hotels and casinos on reclaimed land, and in the number of diversity of its attractions. Macau's eclectic blend of old and new landmarks, along with its eastern and western cultures and architecture, make this unique city a beacon for travellers to Asia.

Coastal Drive, Kum Iam Statue, Ruins of St. Paul's, Senado Square, Shopping, Tart-Tasting

Upon arrival and after immigration formalities, board a coach for a scenic coastal drive and view the towering Kum Iam Statue. From here, take a guided stroll past the Ruins of St. Paul's. The great craved stone façade of St. Paul's, and its grand staircase, are all that remain of the first Church and College of the Jesuits in China. Built in the early-17th century, a fire destroyed all but the façade in 1835. Continue on to Senado Square, which extends from Senado Square to St. Paul's and is paved with a wave-patterned stone mosaic. A civic hub for centuries, Senado Square is now pedestrianised. Some free time is also made available to browse the local shops for souvenirs, and stop for a tart tasting at a local bakery.

Macao Tower, Café 360?, Lunch, A-Ma Temple

Next, re-board your coach and drive to the Macau Tower. This multi-purpose tourist, convention and entertainment facility soars approximately 1,109 feet (about 338 metres) above ground. It is ranked as the tenth-tallest freestanding tower in the world, and eight-tallest in Asia. Upon arrival, the express elevator whisks you up to Café 360?, the highest revolving restaurant in Macau. After a buffet lunch with breath-taking panoramic views of the city and surrounds, re-board your coach for the short drive to the A-Ma Temple. The most famous and picturesque temple in Macau, the A-Ma Temple also helped give the city its name. A-Ma consists of prayer pavilions on four levels, and is dedicated to the Taoist Goddess of A-Ma.

Sands Casino, Free Time, Ferry-Ride, Shun Tak Centre, Hong Kong Island

Following your visit, re-board your coach and head to the Sands Casino (or similar), where some free time is made available for you to try your luck at a wide array of casino games. At the conclusion of your visit, transfer to the ferry terminal. After immigration formalities (please take your passport with you), embark a ferry boat for the approximately one-hour ride back to the Shun Tak Centre on Hong Kong Island. Upon arrival and after immigration formalities, board a coach for the approximately 45-minute drive back to the pier.
