“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” –Gustav Flaubert
We visited Batam Islands, Indonesia in 2008.
We went from Singapore to Batam Islands in a ferry through the sea (45 min)
Enroute, we could also see a lot of huge Cargo ships.
Other than Malaysia, Batam is probably the next easiest place for you to take a quick getaway from Singapore without flying, and is immensely popular with Singaporeans who want a cheap, easy holiday with minimal travelling required. For Indians, the Visa can be received on arrival, which is quite convenient.
We stayed there at a family friend’s house, for 2 days.
The Sun Rise and Sun Set view from this island is amazing.
In my personal opinion, Batam islands doesn’t have much to see. But People in Singapore and Malaysia come in large numbers to enjoy Batamian food (price is also low).
