From Singapore to Batam

Short ferry from Singapore

Booking
We booked the ticket online directly on the website of the company. Then printed the tickets. It was specified on the ticket to print it. The company we used was SindoFerry and it cost a total of 40$ (6$ per tickets, 14$ for the terminal taxes and 14$ for Surcharge. Everything was only mentioned when we committed to buy). There was a lot of different company doing the trip at different times. This company was leaving around noon so it was perfect for us.

Baording
We left Singapore through the Harbour Front Center port. It a weird place since you have to go through a commercial center to get to the port. On the second floor there’s a waiting area and once they announce your ferry, you need to go to another waiting area and go through security. Don’t worry it’s well indicated. From the second waiting area they will announce the boarding. To board the boat you finally go through ticket checking and then on you can go on the boat.

On board The boat we took had two floors, there was a lot of window and you couldn’t stay outside during the trip. If you are seasick you should take gravols. But honestly, the boat doesn’t move too much. In our case the second floor of the ferry was pretty empty so we had a nice and easy ride.
