3.5 Batam Centre Ferry Terminal (810 reviews)
- Grab booking not allowed!
Monday: 6:00 AM - 10:00 PM Ferries

Booked Grab services at Batam Centre Ferry Terminal to go to Nagoya when we were approached by some guys who are the taxi operators. They offered me their taxi services (which cost twice more than Grab), but when I turned them down, they stayed and insisted me to cancel the Grab booking. Awhile later, the Grab car arrived (about 200m outside the terminal) and two of the operators surrounded the Grab driver and chased him away. The Grab driver insisted that he is on a public road but still he was chased away. The Grab driver didn’t want to argue further and got back into his car. We had to walk further down the roundabout and managed to get into the Grab car. See more..

4.0 Penyengat Island (159 reviews)
- Little island off the beaten track
Monday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Islands

My wife and I (as part of our hotel tour) took a boat over to this enchanting little island. Although we weren't sure at first, we managed to barter down with the longboat owner and thought it would be worth it. When we landed, we jumped on a motorbike side car and toured the island this way - it was great fun. The brick winding roads took us around the island to see different cemeteries, an old municipal building, a fantastic view point and some Buddhist temples. It was a great place to visit and away from any touristy spot! Well worth it if you get the opportunity to explore this ancient piece of Indonesian island territory. See more..

4.0 Trikora Beach (126 reviews)
- The hidden gem of the East Indies
Monday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Beaches

I didnt expect much when I first arrived at Tanjung Pinang and heard about Trikora. I thought that it wouldnt be any different with the beaches that we have in Malaysia. But, I was totally wrong.

4.0 Tua Pek Kong Temple (106 reviews)

Our first stop since arriving in Batam. It is quite a huge Buddhist complex, probably funded by the local Chinese community.

Behind the TPK Temple, what look like a newly constructed Great Buddhist Hall, go up the stairs to the main prayer halls, there are 3 huge Buddha statues inside. Chants are playback on the speaker.

4.0 White Sands Island (73 reviews)
- Beautiful place to visit ... just like the pictures
Monday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Islands

Went over for a day trip (12 to 4 cause of tides/boat landing). It was everything we imagined. Lovely set up with plenty of places to sit & sun bathe. Annoyingly there were para surfers there as well & they took many of the goods spots to leave their gear whilst out on the water. We found a nice spot to spend our time and got food & beer from the restaurant which we enjoyed the variety on offer. We had plenty of swims in the beautiful clear water and just went wow how good is this. Highly recommend as a place to visit. There are small huts & tents if you want to spend the night which we would definitely consider if we ever visit again. See more..

3.5 Funworld Nagoya Citywalk Batam (69 reviews)
- Small but affordable, mainly for preschool
Spent 1-2 hours Amusement & Theme Parks

Small indoor amusement park with no air conditioning. Suitable for children between height 90-135 cm as most rides are for this group. Some ride are restricted to children below 120 cm. Hence, I would recommend this place more for preschool kids. We bought IDR300,000 credits and got IDR300,000 free. Rides cost between IDR15,000 to 20,000. The card can also be used at the small arcade which is in the same compound but air conditioned. games cost IDR2900 to 3900. I have a 9 yo and a 7 yo. The amusement park was somewhat boring for the 9 yo. As a family, we enjoyed the bumper cars the most.We had lunch at the Japanese restaurant just next to the amusement park which sold super affordable Japanese food. See more..

3.5 Banyan Tree Temple (57 reviews)
- Fascinating
Monday: 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites

This temple is across the estuary from Tanjung Pinang so we hired a boat. half way across, a torrential rain storm suddenly appeared. We sheltered in the main Chinese Temple first then found out that the Banyan Tree Temple is about one kilometre east of the main temple. After more sheltering, we got there, soaked to our skins, but it was worth it. The tree has wound its way around the temple very thoroughly. See more..
4.0 Bintan Desert (43 reviews)
- Great place to visit with driver hire not guided trip
Points of Interest & Landmarks

Hire a driver for the day for £35. Entry to this attraction is £1.50 each which means for 3 of us it’s £40. You also have the driver for other places as well at no extra cost. A guided tour is over £100 for 3 people Area is impressive as is the colour of the lakes (ponds really). Good photo opportunities. A couple of other activities including archery, beach buggies and birds of prey Don’t go with massive expectation as you would be disappointed See more..
4.5 Abang Island (40 reviews)
- Best diving and snorkeling spot in Batam
Islands

But as perme, this is the best islands. Aside of underwater activities, it has beautiful beach with white sands. See more..
4.0 Vietnam Village (39 reviews)
- Historically significant...but needs a Cash Injection NOW
Spent 2-3 hours Historic Walking Areas

280k Vietnamese passed through this site between 1979 and 1996...and the world seems to know ZIPPO about it. This needs money spent on it BIG TIME, as it is predominantly in decay...although some churches are being renovated. This is, after the Bridge, the supposed No 2 Tourist attraction in the Batam Island Group...and if restored, could be so, so much better. An absolute eye opener, and so glad we visited...but, it has so much potential to shine...not only for Batam, but out of respect to the Vietnamese who were uprooted from their homelands here. There were barracks, homes, churches, schools, administration blocks, hospitals...with the jungle wining the battle in most areas Well worth the drive....but, please...throw some good money at it Indonesia...it deserves it!! See more..
4.5 Grand Batam Shopping Centre (37 reviews)
- One of the better mall
Shopping Malls

Problem is difficult to cross the road. It I a better mall or higher end compare to other older mall in batam. Plenty of restaurants here. The security guard is very helpful to help mall customers to cross the road by stopping the traffic for you. Very good services. See more..
4.5 The Illusion (36 reviews)
- Cheap, fun and quick shot of good photos
Speciality Museums

The place wasn't that big but we manage to get about 70 photos worth of humor. The staff were so supportive and approachable. After you are done with one shot, they will standby on the next one and show you hoe to pose. I find them very friendly and funny. Even though I find that some of the mural don't look real enough, the staff makes the RP80k worthwhile. Without their help, we would be clueless and without their cuteness, we would not have had fun taking photos in that big hall. So, thank you very much for making our day and helping us make lovely fun memories with the photos you help us take. Will definitely come again with more people next time. See more..
4.0 Grotto Santa Maria (Santa Maria Cave) (28 reviews)

4.5 Alif Stone Park (19 reviews)
- Top spot in Natuna!
Geologic Formations

The geology of Natuna Island is simply amazing, and the best place to see it up close is the Alif Stone Park. We visited the park during the day and saw all the huge granite boulders, and later went back for a special occasion dinner in the spectacular natural venue, with a small acoustic band singing amongst the rocks. We also got to see the guesthouse rooms which looked wonderful! See more..

5.0 Jemaja Island (5 reviews)
- Jemaja, Anambas islands: smiles, corals, views and adventures
Spent More than 3 hours Islands

A friend and I went to Jemaja for 4 days, coming from Singapore. It's really a hidden gem that has beautiful nature (uninhabited islands, blue waters, corals, beach, jungle, etc) but without the mass tourism! Locals are warm, especially kids are always happy to say hello and take pictures. It also means the infrastructure is not there yet, so you can't expect any luxurious stay or very settled activities and food options. For example, we did an island hoping tour on a tiny fisherman boat, which was part of the fun too :) Locals are not yet very familiar with Western tourism standards so you sometimes need to be patient and relaxed since "10 am at place A" generally ends up "11am at place B". If you're staying around the Pantai Padang Melang area, know that it is a bit remote from Letung and car rides are quite expensive on Jemaja (~20 usd per trip per car) so I would recommend you to rent a motorbike to move around, it's much cheaper and more convenient. The roads are generally quite empty so it's not too stressful as well (roads can be bumpy but it's manageable). There is no 3G near Pantai Padang Melang and the neighborhood wifi is VERY wonky too (took me ~20 min to send a whatsapp message). Because we were there during Hari Raya (Eid), there weren’t many places open to eat around so we ended up eating in Letung most of the time (only a 10 - 15min ride away). Overall a very good trip. Our main highlight was the island hoping tour and driving around the island in scooter. The islands around Jemaja are like uninhabited paradise with jungle and crystal blue waters. Corals are also in great shape. See more..

kalau kalian pernah ke bali dan mengujungi uluwatu, yapp tepat sekali. daerah ini sekilas mirip sama indahnya dengan uluwatu. suguhan pantai nan panjang dan juga hamparan laut yg jernih dan langit biru bak surga, namun akses kesini harus menempuh perjalanan 12 jam dari Ranai, dilanjutkan dengan naik motor karena akses jalan yg masih perlu di perbaiki untuk mobil. Pagi hari banyak aktivitas para nelayan yg pulang ke daratan dan sunset di sore hari disini indah sekali.

4.0 Temburun Waterfall (2 reviews)
- Just Like Heaven
Spent More than 3 hours Waterfalls

Entahlah saya harus berkata apa mengenai tempat yang satu ini. Rasa kagum dan haru akan Keagungan Sang Pencipta membuat saya hanya diam terbungkam menyaksikan sebuah panorama yang sangat indah ini. Segala kesombongan diri pun perlahan sirna seiring mata menyaksikan sebuah air terjun betingkat tujuh yang langsung bermuara kelaut. Kesunyian suasana serta kejernihan air yang terhempas kelaut, akan terasa sulit dilupakan begitu saja... See more..
