The first time I went to Batam, Indonesia was September 2012. The trip was made possible by this package tour that we managed to booked online. For around not more than SGD$60 we were able to have the package day tour around the area of Batam (inclusive of guided tour, lunch, ferry trips to and from Singapore).
Batam, Indonesia is one of the places you can travel from Singapore within 45 minutes by ferry boat. It is the main reason where most people from Singapore would want to travel once in awhile.
For first timers, it would be easier to have this package tour so you do not have to worry about the itineraries once you landed the place. The day tour will basically bring you to some famous spots in Batam where you can made yourself familiar of the place and the culture.
Course Lunch will be served in a seafood restaurant nearby the area.
Ad-ons such as some recreational activities like go cart racing, zip lining and 1 hour whole body massage are also available for additional charges respectively.
Buying of some souvenir items is not to be worried because the tour will also bring you to some factory outlet shops where you can buy cheap items for presents.
I was able to come back again in Batam last March 2014, but this time, not a day-tour package. We just booked a ferry trips online and we just follow our own itineraries from the immigration as transportation is readily available to be hired to your desired spot at a very reasonable price.
Two other famous places in Indonesia are Bintan and Bali, to which I am still looking forward to visit one day. for for now, all I can say is "Batam, Indonesia -- I Have Been There!"
