While taxis can sit 5, it'll be very cramped and have little room for luggage, so you'll need 2 cabs, about HK$300-350 each, depending on where on HK Island you're going.

Or you can get a 7-seater from one of the limo companies (one quotes HK$550-650)

Or take the Airport Express train - 4 people can ride for HK$250, and the 5th for regular price of $100 for $350 total. Then take a free shuttle or 2 taxis to wherever you need to go.

Or take one of the Cityflyer buses. About HK$40 per person.

I would definitely go with the Airport Express as rkkwan suggested. I've used it twice in my 4 visits to Hong Kong and it's by far the fastest and smoothest way to get into town from the airport.

hawaiiantraveler - That's one of the two companies on the HKG airport site which I linked to.

With 5 people, definitely ask for a 7-seater plan. No waiting for other people, no driving around town dropping off other people first. And cheaper.
