The newly established ‘Macao Sea Tour’ leverages the rich maritime passenger experience of its parent company, Xinda China Travel Shipping Management (Macau) Co., Ltd., and its advantage in grasping the regional tourism development trends. It is committed to creating a unique, locally-flavored maritime leisure product for Macao, offering tourists and residents an exclusive leisure experience in Macao, and promoting the special administrative region to build itself into a world-class tourism and leisure center. The ‘Macao Sea Tour’ combines a ‘sea + land’ sightseeing model, connecting three locations: the Macau Peninsula, Taipa, and Coloane, opening up a combined sea-land tourism route for those who love in-depth travel. They can first enjoy a distant view of the Macao landscape from the sea and then explore various famous scenic spots on land, experiencing the city’s diverse and unique features. During the approximately thirty to forty-five-minute sea journey, passengers can take in the scenic spots and enchanting views of Taipa, the Peninsula, Coloane, and the Hengqin area across the way. From the World Heritage Sites, like A-Ma Temple, Guia Fortress, and Monte Fort, to modern tourist attractions such as the Macao Science Center, Ao Men Lotus Garden, Macao Tower, and multiple large-scale integrated tourism and entertainment projects in Cotai, as well as large-scale infrastructure or facilities in the region, including three cross-sea bridges, light rail transit systems, and the University of Macau’s Hengqin campus, passengers can experience the dynamic charm from a sea view. In addition to sightseeing, the ‘Sea Tour of Macao’ can also accommodate a variety of water-based leisure activities, such as watching fireworks, family or workplace reunions, study tours, and ecological guided tours, suitable for different people, including group tourists, business exhibition tourists, local residents, and educational groups for charter. The sightseeing fleet is different from ordinary passenger ships; it is a small boat full of culture, telling the story of Macao to the world from the inside out. The newly purchased sightseeing ships feature a stylish silver iridescent streamlined exterior. The cabins of the fleet—’Taipa No. 1′ and ‘Coloane No. 1’—are decorated with illustrations featuring ‘Macao’s ancient and modern scenic spots’ and ‘the blend of Chinese and Western cultures,’ with eye-catching colors creating a relaxed touring atmosphere and highlighting the charm of Macao as a dynamic city. The operating hours are open all year round from 09:00 to 21:00.
