Yooo!, Hello, How are you doing?
We'll be heading over to neighbouring Batam for a short break. It's the first time we will heading over from JB, so it will be a different experience, as well it's also the first trip there ever since COVID. It's nice to catch a break every now and then. So what will be discovered on this trip. Come join us and experience it as well.
Just to take the time, for a short intro about myself, I'm JT and welcome to my channel. This channel is about travel, culture, food & family fun.
Currently most of the travels would be in Malaysia( mainly in Johor Bahru)& sometimes in Singapore as well but I will be covering the various and different states every now and then. And as for food, I am a foodie so basically as long there is tasty food, good spots or hidden places, I will try my best to cover them for you guys.

It was! Batam has changed quite a lot, thought somethings feel the same but different as well. PRE & PRO-COVID has changed many things.

Thanks for sharing. Did you need to fill out an e-customs declaration?

@BreakawayBites 2 ай бұрын

No need for Singaporean & Malaysian passport holders, we pass through the custom with ease.

Is SG->Batam->JB and JB->Batam->SG a feasible way to get around the causeway jam?

@JustNashR 4 ай бұрын

Not worth it for day trip because with the total ticket expenses and traveling time, it’s more worth it to go KL by plane instead. Also, ferry from Jb to batam don’t come often. I believe last time there were only 2-3 ferries per day. I’m not sure about now tho. Maybe you can consider taking ferry from Tanah merah to Pengerang (eastern side of JB). Downside would be finding transport to bring you straight to JB central. Another way is via KTM. This is best way by far if you’re looking to beat the causeway jam. But need to book 2 weeks or more in advance.

Yes, if just a one day trip then it's not worth it. I dont recommend it as well, unless you want to visit Batam and make your way into JB then go for it.

May i know how much is the ferry ticket price for JB - BATAM & JB - BATAM?

@BreakawayBites 3 күн бұрын

@natashalojingon8986 As u can recall, just from JB to Batam is around RM 80 to Rm100 per pack, ( one way ) depending on which ferry services as there ate a few ferry services so prices are around the same. There is still a small tax to pay around Rm15- Rm20 ( per pack) if i remember correctly.

How much is the ferry from jb to batam? Can sporean take the ferry from jb to batam too?

@BreakawayBites 4 ай бұрын

I can give you the rough price which was stated in one the other company, The prices are quite the same. For adults - One way is RM128 - Round trip is RM 181 For kids : RM93, Round trip is RM123 . ( a small tax excluded ) The destination is to the Batam Centre.( The nationalities is never any issue, we have Singaporean & Malaysians in our group. I think i saw one foreigner on our ferry. Ferry from JB is totally different experience, as we are pass through the Strait of Johor and pass by Pulau Ubin , a very different sight indeed which for me, I think it's a highlight on its own.
