Batam: HarbourFront or Tanah Merah?

Batam Centre is reachable from both terminals at similar from-prices, so the choice comes down to where you start. HarbourFront sits above the MRT in the south of the city, Tanah Merah is 10 to 15 minutes by taxi from Changi Airport. On HarbourFront - Batam Centre three operators compete, which gives the widest choice of departures.

Bintan: resorts or main town?

For the Bintan Resorts area, Bintan Resort Ferries sails from Tanah Merah to Bandar Bentan Telani. Tanjung Pinang, Bintan's main town, is served by Majestic and Sindo. Compare the totals for your date and remember that Bintan is one hour behind Singapore.
