The Taipa Temporary Ferry Terminal opened in 2007(Chinese: 氹仔臨時客運碼頭; Portuguese: Terminal Marítimo Provisório da Taipa) was located a few meters north of the Macau International Airport. It was mainly served by Cotai Jet for services from the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Pier, Hong Kong in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong SAR and the Hong Kong China Ferry Terminal[1] in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It is now closed. The ferry terminal had two berths for hydrofoil and one for ferries, and served as a port of entry into Macau, with there being passport control desks - separated into those for Macau residents, Visitors (including Hong Kong identity card holders and Mainland China visitors) and Diplomats. There was also a visa-on-arrival application office for those who require a visa to enter Macau but had not applied prior to arriving at the ferry terminal. After that, behind the exit, was a customs zone.
The structure was formally closed on 1 June 2017, and replaced by a new, permanent ferry terminal in the same location[2].

There are also buses to the casinos and resorts.
