The city administrative area covers three main islands of Batam, Rempang, and Galang (collectively called Barelang), as well as several small islands. Batam Island is the core urban and industrial zone, while both Rempang Island and Galang Island maintain their rural character and are connected to Batam Island by short bridges. It is the largest city in the province of Riau Islands, Indonesia, and an industrial boomtown, an emerging transport hub, and part of a free trade zone in the Indonesia. 

There is a direct ferry departing from Berjaya Waterfront Ferry Terminal Johor Bahru and arriving at Batam Centre. Services depart every four hours, and operate every day. The journey takes approximately 1h 30m. The distance between Johor Bahru and Batam is 46 km. The best way to get from Johor Bahru to Batam without a car is to take a ferry which takes 1hr 30mins and from Singapore, it is just 20km and around 40 minutes by speedboat.

Start your tour by exploring the city’s shopping malls. A good place to start is Batam’s largest mall, Nagoya Hill. Pick up a great discount on anything you can think of here, from clothes to electronics. Have lunch at the mall and next hit the beach.

Check out one of Batam’s beaches, another of the island’s major draws. The most accessible beaches are in the Waterfront area, where you can enjoy a range of water sports. These include fishing, water skiing and jet skiing, as well as things like go-karting and bowling back on dry land. If you fancy something quieter, head to Melur Beach on Galang Island, connected to Batam by the Balerang road bridge. This is pretty and peaceful and one of the few nice beaches not owned by a resort.

This is a lovely place to watch the sun go down over Batam and the surrounding islands.
