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.

There are two (2) ferry terminals in BATAM. This is nearer to the Batam town and more popular with tourists from SINGAPORE and nearby. Most of the tour groups will use this terminal. There are some small cafes and other eateries, Duty Free shop, ....within the terminal. The terminal is quite well kept, consider the high traffic flow daily. The staff are quite helpful and friendly. Quite comfortable place for the waiting of the ferry.

This place is totally chaotic! There were quite a few shops that sells food, titbits, local kueh and kueh lapis. 1st floor, there's a ralph lauren shop, sim card booth, and taxi booth. But what ever you need for food, drinks and local snacks, it can be fulfilled. I also find that the prices in the ferry terminal are inflated, but its good for a quick last min shopping.

I took 2.5hrs for immigration clearance on arrival. There were total of 5 counters but only 2 counters were meant for general public queue. Other counters were discretely stamping passports for group arrivals. Hence, travel groups went in fast but the rest of visitors had to wait in a long queue for eternal time. On the contrary, I took just 2 mins to clear immigration upon departure. Could the relevant authorities please look into these problems. I met many service staffs in Batam, from drivers to service staffs at retails and F&B, there were all very friendly people with good service attitudes and efficiencies. Please do not let the poor working conditions at the immigration customs ruined visitors perception of a nice city.

The terminal has a nice shopping centre and a selection of bars and restaurants. Bluefire is one of my favourites but is not listed on TA. Most have indoor and outdoor seating with a nice view and sea breeze. Open till late with live music in most of the bars. There are two ferry terminals in town - far apart so make sure your at the right one. Love to hang out in the evening and relax here.

The Batam Ferry Terminal is a really experiencing Terminal. It is really big and huge. Services are proper and nice to be served by their staff. For me and my family it was the first time visiting Batam. And the very first thing to see was the Batam Terminal. I look forward to visit Batam again.

one of the many ports I've visited.
this terminal is small but you can find the basic things you need (food, touch of shopping etc).
But the very thing that amazed us was the cleanliness of the are even thought ehre's a lot of people who come and go.

Well if you are a tourist from Singapore and planning to go to Batam just to have visited more asian countries, I highly suggest NOT to go to Batam Ferry Terminal. I went there for a quick massage and and leisure with my tourist cousin. Though she presented her return ticket from Singapore to Philippines to prove that we got no reason to stay long, it was not verified and she was not allowed to enter Indonesia. It doesn't matter if you are telling the truth. Bottom line is they will ask 150 SGD for them to let you pass. To our frustration bec we've already made and paid our hotel booking, we give them what they are asking for and instantly, with no receipt, they will give you the chop. Very bad for tourism. Immigration money making so beware.

Note that the seaport tax is IDR115k or rm40, must be paid at the counter before boarding the ferry. The ticket bought from Malaysia didnt include Indonesian's seaport tax. So, spare your money 😊

We came from Singapore thru Batam Fast Ferry and when we arrived here, CORRUPT IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS will start examining your passport. Filipinos do not require a Visa to enter Indonesia. Official said we require and we need to have a return flight ticket home from SG or Indonesia. We were brought to another room where the other official was SLEEPING. He also discussed the same thing and called an escort for us back to the ferry. The escort said that he can TALK to the officials to let us in. Now I felt that something "financial" will be happening and took us to another room where the money changer is and discussed terms. I did not let him start and asked that we wanted to go back to Singapore instead, He kept on insisting. Dangerous place and I felt unsafe. Be careful and DO NOT GO HERE!
