About:Hong Kong Octopus Card

Need help here, Please.There will be 5 adults & 2 children travelling & we are planning to use only the public transport in HK/MTR. We will be staying near Imperial hotel TST. Our itinerary will be Intl Airport to Hotel, Day2 ocean park, day3 disney, day4 macau, day5 nong phing, giant golden buddha & victoria peak, then back to Intl airport for departure day6. How much should each adult & child buy for an on loan octopus card so I will only purchase once at the airport & have the refund if any at the airport when we depart.I dont want to be loading it multiple times since we know our whole itinerary. The rest of the tour is just for sure walking distance from where we will be staying. Thanks.

1. When you first buy the ocotpus, there would be HKD100 in the Adult Ocotpus and HKD20 in the kid Ocotpus, you need to add value to it anyway.
2. For the trip to Tsim Sha Tsui, if take Bus A21, it costs HKD33 per person, kids under 12 and elders over 65 can enjoy half fare.
2. To Ocean Park, You can take Bus 973 at New World Centre, Salisbury Road and the journey costs HKD13.6 per person, kid costs half. So the round trip would cost HKD27.2 per adult.
3. To Disneyland, by MTR it costs HKD16.6 per person, kid costs half.
4. To Macau, you can walk to China Ferry Terminal and take ferry.
5. To Ngong Ping, you can take MTR to Tung Chung Station and then take Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car to the Giant Budda, costs HKD13.8 by MTR and the cable car fare is different since there are different kinds of joint tickets.
6. Since there are many transport you can choose in Hong Kong, so it is hard to estimate how much you buy in an ocotpus card, and also there are many many add value places in Hong Kong, there would be no difficulties in finding them.
Good Luck!
