Questions travellers ask
How much does a Batam trip from Singapore cost?
A one-way ferry starts at S$28 per person (Sindo, fuel surcharge included) plus the S$10 Singapore Passenger Departure Fee when leaving Singapore (fares read 2026-10-13). For two people on a 2D1N trip, our example comes to about Rp. 2.4–2.6m (Budget) to Rp. 3.0–3.6m (Comfort) for transport in Batam plus the hotel, before food and entry tickets.
What time are the first and last ferries between Batam and Singapore?
The earliest sailing from Singapore leaves at 07:40 Singapore time (Batamfast). Last daily ferries from Batam to Singapore: Harbour Bay 20:30 WIB (Horizon Fast Ferry); Nongsapura 20:00 WIB (Batamfast); Batam Centre 20:35 WIB (Majestic Fast Ferry); Sekupang 20:30 WIB (Sindo Ferry). Times come from the operators' own timetables, checked twice a day.
How long is the ferry from Singapore to Batam?
About 45 minutes from HarbourFront to Harbour Bay (per the official Harbour Bay Downtown site); other routes take about an hour. Batam is one hour behind Singapore, so a 9:00 am departure arrives around 8:45 am Batam time.
