Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Vá por conta própria até o Terminal Marítimo Harbourfront Centre de Cingapura para pegar a balsa pública de alta velocidade às 10h (GMT + 8) para a cidade indonésia de Batam. Após cerca de 1 hora no mar, você chegará ao terminal de balsas de Batam para passar pela imigração.
Ao passar pela imigração em Batam, seu guia licenciado para pequenos grupos irá encontrá-lo com uma placa e acompanhá-lo até seu veículo com ar condicionado para um passeio por Batam, a maior cidade da província das Ilhas Riau, na Indonésia. Você primeiro fará uma parada para fotos do monumento Welcome to Batam. Inspirado no mundialmente famoso letreiro de Hollywood, muitos turistas e moradores locais vêm ao Batam Center para tirar fotos com o monumento Welcome to Batam.
Em seguida, você visitará o Mini Indonesia Park, com réplicas em miniatura da arquitetura das 34 províncias da Indonésia, incluindo a capital - Jacarta.
Em seguida, você fará uma rápida parada em uma padaria local para provar os famosos bolos indonésios, também conhecidos carinhosamente pelos habitantes locais como Kueh Lapis. Kueh Lapis não é difícil de fazer, mas requer tempo e muita paciência. Os padeiros ficam perto do forno por algumas horas grelhando cada camada de massa. Kueh Lapis é normalmente servido em fatias pequenas, finas, ricas e perfumadas.
Em seguida, você visitará este museu local que leva o nome de um famoso poeta local para aprender mais sobre a história de Batam através de suas diversas coleções e artefatos. Nota: No caso de o museu estar fechado (ou seja: para higienização da Covid-19 todas as segundas-feiras, etc.), uma visita ao Batam Mini Indonesia Park (com réplicas em miniatura da arquitetura indonésia) será oferecida como substituição.
Em seguida, você fará uma parada para visitar o Templo Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya. Este templo é o maior templo chinês da Indonésia, situado em uma colina chamada Lucky Hill. O templo é dedicado ao Maitreya, que é o futuro Buda que alcançará a iluminação completa. Maitreya também pode ser visto no centro do templo banhado em ouro com 5m de altura.
Em seguida, você fará uma parada no belo templo Pura Agung Amerta Buana, em estilo balinês. Fundado em 1999, o Pura Agung Amerta Buana é um templo hindu que adota uma mistura de arquitetura balinesa clássica e moderna. Dentro do templo fica o Padmasana mais alto da Indonésia, com uma altura impressionante de 18 metros. O Padnasama é um santuário pagode em forma de lótus dedicado ao seu Deus Supremo.
Em seguida, você passará pelo Parque Garuda (Taman Rajawali). Construído em 2017, este parque apresenta um monumento com uma estátua do Garuda, frequentemente usada para representar a Indonésia, assim como a águia americana nos Estados Unidos. O Garuda simboliza a virtude do conhecimento, poder, bravura, lealdade e disciplina.
Do Parque Garuda, você terá uma vista privilegiada da Mesquita Tanjak. A mesquita foi construída na arquitetura Tanjak Melayu e possui um minarete de 45 metros. O exterior é feito de modernos painéis compostos de alumínio.
Em seguida, você visitará a grande Ponte Barelang, às vezes chamada de Ponte Golden Gate de Batam, que é uma peça de arquitetura moderna aparentemente antecipada nesta descontraída cidade indonésia em desenvolvimento. Em seguida, você saboreará um banquete tradicional indonésio de 4 pratos, composto por frutos do mar, frango e vegetais, em um restaurante tradicional indonésio nas proximidades.
Por fim, seu guia o levará de volta ao terminal de balsas para sua balsa pública de alta velocidade de volta a Cingapura. O terminal de balsas é conectado por uma passarela no nível de embarque para Megamall. Se ainda houver tempo, você pode entrar no Megamall para comprar itens e lanches não turísticos todos os dias a preços locais. Por favor, volte ao terminal da balsa 30 minutos antes do horário da balsa para as formalidades de embarque.
Você chegará de volta ao Terminal Marítimo Harbourfront Centre de Cingapura por volta das 22h (GMT + 8), onde sua viagem termina.

We had a wonderful time on this excursion! Johni was a terrific host who provided lots of information and cared very much about making us happy. We loved this day trip! Catching the ferry & doing customs was relatively easy and our guide was waiting for us. My husband, 18 yr old daughter and I are frequent travelers. We all agreed this excursion was our favorite thing on this trip. The massages were the best thing, we would have even like if there was time for a longer one as some of the other tours offer. I would suggest maybe cutting a couple of the other stops to make time for a longer massage. Reading other reviews, it sounds like that was an option for others, maybe we spent too much time taking pictures at lunch? We absolutely loved the lunch spot and all the food. The location was beautiful if a bit rustic, and the food was delicious. Other highlights were the first stone temple and the coffee tasting. The temple was really beautiful. My daughter particularly enjoyed the shopping. The "cake tasting" was a surprise because it wasn't what we were expecting. Imagine a bright clean store with samples of all the food in jars next to each item. A salesperson follows you around making suggestions based on what you like and offering a tiny sample of the items, then asking if you want to buy them. It was a neat way to try different foods but a bit like Trader Joe's on steroids. The cake pieces were about the size of a large pea. The miniature house park was interesting from an architecture standpoint, but there was a lot of litter from where locals clearly picnic & then left their trash. Also it needed paint. So it was a bit run down, which was a shame It was a very full day! Johni & our driver dropped us at the ferry terminal with snacks and happy smiles. I highly recommend this tour.

We had a great time. Our tour guide Bell was very knowledgeable and very friendly. His English is very good and easy to understand. It was very hot though at this time of year but they provided a bottle of water.
We were concerned because they messaged us the night before that our Batam guide was unavailable but they sent a local guy to pick us up at the hotel and check us in at the ferry. Then Irma and Jacky took the BEST care of us in Batam. Jacky was a great and very safe driver and Irma was a font of information. We feel like we saw everything we wanted to and, indeed, our only complaint was a happy one- there was just too much food for us old people!
We had an amazing time! This is a great way to see Batam and get a taste of Indonesia. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging and went out of her way to treat us like family and give us some extra stops. Highly recommend!!
Beautiful day trip to Indonesia with wife and adult daughter. Indonesian people are extremely warm and welcoming. Batam is a poor island but proud and developing. It was a wonderful contrast to the wealth and sophistication of Singapore, and a completely unexpected, last-minute cherry on top of our vacation. Tour Guide. Johnny was excellent, thoughtful and spoke very good English. He had a clean car with phone chargers and extra water. He was there to meet us when we arrived and handled our return flawlessly even though we changed our departure. Highlights. the Indonesian massage and also 70 Fahrenheit Koffie Batam (we bought 27 packages of coffee plus the S$240 Lawak coffee gift set). We also loved the views from the bridge overlooking the S China Sea. The lunch was average but we enjoyed its authenticity (note: they were able to cater it to our gluten free needs). The quick Indonesian layer cake stop was also fun and we bought some cake. We aren’t really into temples but the Buddhist temple was very large. Money. Make sure you have your passport and $35 US for your Indonesian visa fee. You’ll also want some cash for tipping the masseuses (about $50,000 IND each, which is about $3 US). Negatives. Only negative was the ferry ride from Singapore. The ferry operator is not connected with the tour in any way, so you’ll have to figure it all out yourself. It’s like going to a bus terminal, so get there early (60-90 min pre-departure). Go to BatamFast ticket counter on Level 2 of Lobby C at the HarborFront and show them your PDF confirmation.
It was an excellent tour and unforgettable experience mostly thanks to Aolia and Joni. Aolia picked us up from hotel, accompanied us throughout the entire ferry trip. She did a lot of effort to help us getting coffee and breakfast in the HarbourFront mall at early hours. Joni, our guide and driver in Batam made the day very easy going and yet interesting. He was telling us many interesting facts about the island, everyday life, history etc. He did amazing job driving and guiding us. The program of the day was well balanced with sightseeing, delicious lunch, a bit of shopping and a bit of relaxation. All in all, great day, unforgettable memories. Highly recommend. Good value for money.
Great trip. Guide was also the driver who was great. Have details about Batam given. Went to few main places and nice lunch was included.
Pros: very nice tour guide and he spoke very good English. The ferry ride from Singapore to Batam was smooth and comfortable. We got to see some iconic Indonesian sites. Lunch was very authentic. Cons: I believe the description is a bit vague. The tour was much longer than necessary. We made several stops that could have been skipped (coffee business, cake shop, all the stores and malls). This could easily be a 4 hour tour and get the same experience.
Dear valued guest, We thank you for your positive feedback about our guide, high-speed ferry and lunch feast, and we have forwarded your compliments to the captain, chefs and guide. For our small group tours, we seek to cater to the interests of all guests. After spending a few hours covering all the religious/architectural sites in Batam, some of the other guests in your group indicated that they wanted to do some local shopping and sample local cuisine, namely kopi luwak (Indonesian civet coffee) and kueh lapis (Indonesian layer cakes), as mentioned on the small group tour itinerary. Finally, in case if you are back in Batam in the future, please do call us again, and we will be happy to extend a complimentary 1-hour massage for you and your partner at our massage centre. We wish you all the best for your future travels.
The tour is not impressive. Our tour guide is just a driver, doesn’t say anything, offers little info when asked. Kopi Luwak tour is interesting because I’m a coffee drinker. Lunch and massage is good. No other activity that is worth your time.
Dear valued guest, we thank you for your feedback about our tour. For selected small group tours (with less than 6 guests), the guide does double-up as the driver, and we sincerely regret that your guide was not be able to engage much with you while driving. We thank you for your positive feedback about what you have learnt about kopi luwak (Indonesian civet coffee), and we have forwarded your compliments to the guide. Finally, we agree with you that Indonesia provides very limited wow factor, because Indonesia is still after all, a developing country and the infrastructure and architecture shows, as compared to developed countries like the US and Singapore. Nonetheless, we strive our best to showcase the real side of Indonesia to all guests in the best light possible, through means within our control, such as your Indonesian lunch and traditional Indonesian massage. We hope to have you back again in better circumstances when Indonesia has developed more. We wish you all the best for your future travels.
