Activity itinerary

Make your own way to Singapore Harbourfront Centre Ferry Terminal for your 10:00am (GMT+8) high-speed public ferry to the Indonesian town of Batam. After about 1 hour at sea, you will arrive at Batam ferry terminal to clear immigration.
Welcome To Batam Monument
  • 20m
Upon clearing immigration in Batam, your small-group licensed guide will meet you with a signboard, and escort you to your air-conditioned vehicle for a tour around Batam, the largest city in the Riau Islands Province of Indonesia. You will first stop by for a photostop of the Welcome to Batam monument. Modelled after the world-famous Hollywood sign, many tourists and locals come to Batam Centre to take photos with the Welcome to Batam monument.
Bengkong
  • 20m
Next, you will visit Mini Indonesia Park featuring miniature replicas of architecture from Indonesia's 34 provinces including the capital - Jakarta.
Batam Layer Cakes
  • 20m
Next, you will get to make a quick stop at a local bakery to sample famous Indonesian sandwich cakes, also affectionately known to the locals as Kueh Lapis. Kueh Lapis is not difficult to make, but it requires time and a lot of patience. The bakers hover next to the oven for a couple of hours grilling each layer of batter. Kueh Lapis is typically served in small, thin, rich and fragrant slices.
Museum Batam Raja Ali Haji
  • 20m
Next, you will visit this local museum named after a famous local poet to learn more about the history of Batam through its many collections and artefacts. Note: In the event that the museum is closed (ie: for Covid-19 sanitisation every Monday etc), a visit to Batam Mini Indonesia Park (featuring miniature replicas of Indonesian architecture) will be offered as a replacement.
Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Temple
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included

Pura Agung Amerta Buana
  • 20m
Next, you will stop by the beautiful Balinese-style Pura Agung Amerta Buana temple. Established in 1999, Pura Agung Amerta Buana is a Hindu temple adopting a mixture of classical and modern Balinese architecture. Inside the temple stands the highest Padmasana in Indonesia, at an impressive height of 18 metres. The Padnasama is a lotus-like pagoda shrine dedicated to their Supreme God.
Taman Rajawali Bandara Hang Nadim
  • 20m
Next, you will stop by Garuda Park (Taman Rajawali). Built in 2017, this park features a monument with a statue of the Garuda, often used to represent Indonesia, much like the Bald Eagle in the United States. The Garuda symbolises the virtue of knowledge, power, bravery, loyalty, and discipline.
Masjid Tanwirun Naja (Masjid Tanjak)
