MY FAVOURITE BOAT TRIPS

Bairdstravel has taken many great boat trips when travelling the World .

Below are a few of the best .Please feel free to contact Bairdstravel if you have enjoyed any great sea adventures.

1 STAR FERRY HONG KONG TO KOWLOON

The Star Ferry has been plying the short route between Hong Kong island and the Kowloon mainland since colonial times. It is the cheapest way to make the journey.

The sea breeze blows through the historic open plan boats. Views of the Hong Kong skyline are excellent in the afternoon, when the sun illuminates it. Walk on the boardwalk on the Kowloon side at the end of the day and at night to see the lights.

2 SAIL IN SAN FRANCISCO BAY

1 ½ hour sail leaves from Pier 39, we sailed over to Alcatraz, Angel Island, close to Sausalito, parallel the Golden Gate Bridge, and then right down the city front.

3 WATER TAXI`S IN VENICE

Cheaper way tro get round Venice .

The place is stunning but very expensive so it`s good to buy a pass for the water taxi`s and see the sights for an affordable price.
