2015 Singapore/Batam Trip: At the Harbourfront Ferry Terminal on the Way to Batam!

After a quick shopping spree at Bugis Junction, we packed our bags, checked out of our hotel and went to the Harbourfront Ferry Terminal. Good thing we were able to buy tickets for a 3PM ride to the ferry. We were all so, so excited. Going to Batam is actually the main trip of our SG/Batam trip last December.

Planning a trip to Batam, Indonesia as well? Here's what I found online in how you can go there...

How to Go to Batam By Boat

The main ports on Batam are Batam Centre, Sekupang, Waterfront City, Nongsapura and Telaga Punggur. Harbor Bay is now the principle international ferry port for these heading for Nagoya, replacing the outdated Batu Ampar ferry terminal. Batam Center Ferry Terminal has essentially the most frequent ferry connections to/from Singapore and Johor Bahru. Sekupang, with ferries from Singapore is finest used for those catching home connections to the Sumatra mainland and the Karimun Islands. Waterfront City and Nongsapura principally serve adjacent resorts while Telaga Punggur is the primary ferry terminal for boats to and from Bintan.

To/From Singapore: Ferries departing from the Harbourfront Ferry Terminal go to Batam Centre, Sekupang and Waterfront City (Teluk Senimba) while ferries from the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal serve Nongsapura.
