Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Tag din egen vej til Singapore Tanah Merah Færgeterminal for din højhastighedsfærge kl. 10:00 (GMT+8) til den indonesiske by Batam. Efter cirka 1 time til søs ankommer du til Batam færgeterminal for at klare immigrationen.
Efter at have ryddet immigration i Batam, vil din private licenserede guide møde dig med et skilt og eskortere dig til dit private, airconditionerede køretøj for en tur rundt i Batam, den største by i Riau Islands-provinsen i Indonesien. Du vil først stoppe ved Garuda Park (Taman Rajawali). Denne park blev bygget i 2017 og har et monument med en statue af Garuda, der ofte bruges til at repræsentere Indonesien, ligesom den skaldede ørn i USA. Garuda symboliserer dyden viden, magt, tapperhed, loyalitet og disciplin.
Fra Garuda Park, vil du have en udsigt over Tanjak Moské. Moskeen er bygget i Tanjak Melayu arkitektur og har en minaret på 45 meter. Det ydre er lavet af moderne aluminium kompositpaneler. Bemærk: Gæster, der ønsker at komme ind i moskeen, kan gøre det, forudsat at den ikke er lukket for offentligheden (dvs. uden for fredagsbøn). Ellers kan gæsterne med respekt blive bedt om kun at tage billeder udefra.
Dernæst besøger du Muhammed Cheng Ho Moské, der er modelleret som et kinesisk tempel, på grund af den betydelige kinesiske befolkning, der bor omkring moskéen. Bemærk: Gæster, der ønsker at komme ind i moskeen, kan gøre det, forudsat at den ikke er lukket for offentligheden (dvs. uden for fredagsbøn). Ellers kan gæsterne med respekt blive bedt om kun at tage billeder udefra.
Dernæst stopper du ved det smukke Pura Agung Amerta Buana-tempel i balinesisk stil. Pura Agung Amerta Buana blev grundlagt i 1999 og er et hinduistisk tempel, der har en blanding af klassisk og moderne balinesisk arkitektur. Inde i templet står den højeste Padmasana i Indonesien, i en imponerende højde på 18 meter. Padnasama er en lotus-lignende pagode helligdom dedikeret til deres Højeste Gud.
Derefter stopper du for at besøge Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya-templet. Dette tempel er det største kinesiske tempel i Indonesien, beliggende på en bakke kaldet Lucky Hill. Templet er dedikeret til Maitreya, som er den fremtidige Buddha, der vil opnå fuldstændig oplysning, Maitreya kan også ses i det mest midte af templet belagt med guld, der står i 5m højde.
Fra et udsigtspunkt ved Batam Center kan du se Welcome to Batam-monumentet. Modelleret efter det verdensberømte Hollywood-skilt kommer mange turister og lokale til Batam Center for at tage billeder med Welcome to Batam-monumentet.
Derefter vil du besøge dette lokale museum opkaldt efter en berømt lokal digter for at lære mere om Batams historie gennem dets mange samlinger og artefakter. Bemærk: I tilfælde af, at museet er lukket (dvs. for Covid-19-sanering hver mandag osv.), vil et besøg i Batam Mini Indonesia Park (med miniaturekopier af indonesisk arkitektur) blive tilbudt som erstatning.
Dernæst vil du komme til at gøre et hurtigt stop ved et lokalt bageri for at prøve berømte indonesiske lagkager, også kærligt kendt af lokalbefolkningen som Kueh Lapis. Kueh Lapis er ikke svær at lave, men det kræver tid og meget tålmodighed. Bagerne svæver ved siden af ovnen i et par timer og griller hvert lag dej. Kueh Lapis serveres typisk i små, tynde, rige og velduftende skiver.
Dernæst vil du besøge den store Barelang-bro, nogle gange kaldet Golden Gate Bridge of Batam, som er et stykke moderne arkitektur, der tilsyneladende er forud for tiden i denne afslappede indonesiske by i udvikling. Du vil derefter putte ind til en 4-retters traditionel indonesisk fest bestående af fisk og skaldyr, kylling og grøntsager på traditionel indonesisk restaurant i nærheden.
Endelig vil din guide bringe dig tilbage til færgeterminalen for din højhastighedsoffentlige færge tilbage til Singapore. Færgeterminalen er forbundet med en skybridge på afgangsniveauet til Megamall. Hvis der stadig er tid, kan du besøge Megamall for at få hverdagslige varer og snacks til lokale priser. Venligst gå tilbage til færgeterminalen 30 minutter før færgetidspunkt for ombordstigningsformaliteter.
Du ankommer tilbage til Singapore Harbourfront Centre Ferry Terminal omkring kl. 22:00 (GMT+8), hvor din tur slutter. Bemærk venligst: Giv venligst besked ved reservationen, hvis du har brug for at afslutte turen tidligere, så din rejseplan kan tilpasses i overensstemmelse hermed.

We were met as soon as we disembarked the ferry. We were taken to the terminal lounge whilst our paperwork was sorted. I found it easy to arrange the Arrival Visas online ahead of our trip. We were then met by Jackey and his driver. Both were lovely and went over and above to ensure we saw all we could. I contacted the company the day before the trip to request an earlier ferry booking and to tailor the trip and they were very prompt in reply and very accommodating. Jackey took us to various mosques, temples and museums and was always on hand to take pictures. The lunch was a great experience and was very tasty. The two hour massage was also very good after a very busy holiday. Once we were all done, we were driven back to the terminal lounge for coffee and cake while the paperwork was completed. We were then taken directly to our ferry and waved on board. It was a wonderful trip and provided a great insight into Batam. This turned out to be one of the best trips we had been on.
Loved the ferry ride over and the massage! Didn’t care too much for the cake and coffee tour as it was expected to buy something before you left each tour.
This was a nice tour. We'd done Singapore and Kuala Lumpur the days before and while nice, wasn't as nice as the two aforementioned cities. However, we had Aulia as our tour guide. She'd served as our guide to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and we enjoyed her so much, that we booked this tour and requested her as our guide. She met us at our hotel and we went to the boat terminal and caught a ferry (about 40-45) minutes to Indonesia. The visa is $35, but there's a money exchange in the terminal as they only take Indonesian money and no credit cards. The day included lunch and a two hour massage. Nice day!
Ended my Asian trip in here. Gave the luwak coffee to my dad and he loved much. Will definitely buy again if any chance to go to Indonesia. The 2 hours massage was so rejuvenated. The lunch set menu made my belly fatter than we came. Lol
My guide Ms. Aulia is absolutely lovely and she is the best guide I have had. The experience started a bit shaky as they changed the pickup vehicle and did not tell me ahead of time. I would suggest not chose the hotel pick up option as they will just call an Uber type of service to do it and you end up paying much more for the trip from your hotel to the terminal. The tour itself is quite interesting. Do not expect spectacular architecture or attractions but it is still worthwhile because you get to experience Indonesia within a very short period of time. I am really really happy that I decided to do this.
It's my second time in Batam but this time I enjoyed it more, We had a super great private tour. The tour guide is easy to understand and easy to find too at the seaport. We hope to go back again soon.
Our guide was informative and we saw a lot of the island. Lots of history on the island. I would have preferred to order our own lunch because there was too much food for two people.
I had read several good reviews about a day-trip to Batam and decided to take one of my few days in Singapore to do that. What a huge mistake! There was nothing worth seeing there that couldn’t be seen other places or that were worth the visit. The massage and the kart ride were OK, but we didn’t need to go all the way there to do that. No interesting landmarks (the Barelang bridge pales compared to all the architectural landmarks in Singapore), and the temples were nothing special nor historical. The visit to the coffee factory is a real tourist trap: I told the guide that neither my son or I drank coffee but he still took us there just to sit in a closed room to hear him try to sell us souvenir packages of coffee. Also, my guide barely spoke any English, so it was extremely hard to communicate. Finally, the lunch was also very disappointing, as we couldn’t choose what we ate (the meal was pre-set and despite seeing some good alternative in neighboring tables, we had to stick with the bland fish and sea snails they had given us). I had wished to discover a bit of Indonesia but left that country never wanting to go back. What a disappointment!
Dear ClMitchell, this tour does not go to the Batam go-karting center. We are therefore very confused with your "the kart ride were OK" remark. We sincerely apologise we are unable to locate any booking with the name ClMitchell, may you please provide us with your booking number for us to check if you had reviewed the wrong tour?
We really enjoyed this trip and were amazed at all the things we were able to do and see. Diane (hopefully spelled right!) was an fabulous host -- knowledgeable, amenable, and open to us veering off course a bit. Highly recommend her!
Diane was a great tour guide. She met me at the port in Batam and I found out that I was the only person on the tour. She was awesome! I mentioned that I wasn't really that interested in the trick eye museum so she arranged for me to get an extra 30 minutes massage instead. =) One of the best viator trips I've ever booked. Highly recommended.
