You will first stop by Garuda Park (Taman Rajawali). Built in 2017, this park features a monument with a statue of the Garuda, often used to represent Indonesia, much like the Bald Eagle in the United States. The Garuda symbolises the virtue of knowledge, power, bravery, loyalty, and discipline.

From the Garuda Park, you will have a vantage view of the Tanjak Mosque. The mosque is built in Tanjak Melayu architecture and features a minaret of 45 meters.

Otherwise, guests may be respectfully requested to only take photos from the outside.

Muhammad Cheng Ho Mosque
Next, you will visit Muhammad Cheng Ho Mosque that is modelled like a Chinese temple, due to the significant Chinese population living around the mosque.

Otherwise, guests may be respectfully requested to only take photos from the outside.
20 minutes here
Pura Agung Amerta Buana

Established in 1999, Pura Agung Amerta Buana is a Hindu temple adopting a mixture of classical and modern Balinese architecture. Inside the temple stands the highest Padmasana in Indonesia, at an impressive height of 18 meters. The Padnasama is a lotus-like pagoda shrine dedicated to their Supreme God.

Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Temple
Next, you will stop by to visit the Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Temple. This temple is the largest Chinese temple in Indonesia, situated on a hill called Lucky Hill.

Next, you will get to make a quick stop at a local bakery to sample famous Indonesian layer cakes, also affectionately known to the locals as Kueh Lapis.

Kueh Lapis is typically served in small, thin, rich and fragrant slices.

Next, you will visit the grand Barelang Bridge, sometimes called the Golden Gate Bridge of Batam, which is a piece of modern architecture seemingly ahead of time in this laid-back developing Indonesian town.

Amazing fun packed trip
We were met as soon as we disembarked the ferry. We were taken to the terminal lounge whilst our paperwork was sorted. I found it easy to arrange the Arrival Visas online ahead of our trip. We were then met by Jackey and his driver. Both were lovely and went over and above to ensure we saw all we could. I contacted the company the day before the trip to request an earlier ferry booking and to tailor the trip and they were very prompt in reply and very accommodating. Jackey took us to various mosques, temples and museums and was always on hand to take pictures. The lunch was a great experience and was very tasty. The two hour massage was also very good after a very busy holiday. Once we were all done, we were driven back to the terminal lounge for coffee and cake while the paperwork was completed. We were then taken directly to our ferry and waved on board. It was a wonderful trip and provided a great insight into Batam. This turned out to be one of the best trips we had been on.

Day trip!
Loved the ferry ride over and the massage! Didn’t care too much for the cake and coffee tour as it was expected to buy something before you left each tour.
via Viator
Nice day
This was a nice tour. We'd done Singapore and Kuala Lumpur the days before and while nice, wasn't as nice as the two aforementioned cities. However, we had Aulia as our tour guide. She'd served as our guide to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and we enjoyed her so much, that we booked this tour and requested her as our guide. She met us at our hotel and we went to the boat terminal and caught a ferry (about 40-45) minutes to Indonesia. The visa is $35, but there's a money exchange in the terminal as they only take Indonesian money and no credit cards. The day included lunch and a two hour massage. Nice day!

Unforgettable Memories
Ended my Asian trip in here. Gave the luwak coffee to my dad and he loved much. Will definitely buy again if any chance to go to Indonesia. The 2 hours massage was so rejuvenated. The lunch set menu made my belly fatter than we came. Lol
via Tripadvisor
A Lovely Experience
My guide Ms. Aulia is absolutely lovely and she is the best guide I have had. The experience started a bit shaky as they changed the pickup vehicle and did not tell me ahead of time. I would suggest not chose the hotel pick up option as they will just call an Uber type of service to do it and you end up paying much more for the trip from your hotel to the terminal. The tour itself is quite interesting. Do not expect spectacular architecture or attractions but it is still worthwhile because you get to experience Indonesia within a very short period of time. I am really really happy that I decided to do this.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
PRIVATE: Batam day tour with Ferry, 2-hour Massage and Lunch from Singapore: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Singapore.
How much does PRIVATE: Batam day tour with Ferry, 2-hour Massage and Lunch from Singapore cost?
+
Prices start at $290 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Singapore usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does PRIVATE: Batam day tour with Ferry, 2-hour Massage and Lunch from Singapore take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Singapore is not rushed.
Is PRIVATE: Batam day tour with Ferry, 2-hour Massage and Lunch from Singapore worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Singapore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule PRIVATE: Batam day tour with Ferry, 2-hour Massage and Lunch from Singapore?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is PRIVATE: Batam day tour with Ferry, 2-hour Massage and Lunch from Singapore suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book PRIVATE: Batam day tour with Ferry, 2-hour Massage and Lunch from Singapore?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Singapore can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Singapore and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PRIVATE: Batam day tour with Ferry, 2-hour Massage and Lunch from Singapore start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Singapore within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Singapore?
+
On Outty we rank every Singapore experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Singapore Highlights Small Group Bike Tour on Full-Sized Bicycles, Lion City Bike Tour of Singapore, Singapore River Cruise, Night Garden Rhapsody & Spectra by CYT. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Singapore?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Singapore?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
