The kai-to (Traditional Chinese:街渡) is a type of small, motorized ferry in Hong Kong mostly used to ferry passengers between the outlying islands of Lantau Island, Peng Chau, Cheung Chau, Lamma Island, among others, and to enclave villages in the Tolo Harbour, Double Haven, Port Shelter, etc. There are currently 78 fixed kai-to routes, serving remote coastal settlements.

Certain routes within the Victoria Harbour are still served by Kai-tos, including the Sai Wan Ho to Kwun Tong route.
