Ferry to Pulau Bintan
This is a top pick! Travel always has inherent challenges. Often these come in form of language or infrastructure, but Singapore showed me that even in a modern, English-speaking country, things don't always come smoothly. In fact, it's probably because ...

Pulau Bintan
... tolda that there were no rooms available. So, instead we left earlier than we intended on our ferry to Pulau Bintan, Indonesia. The 45 minute ferry ride lengthened to two hours (maybe the stopping in the middle of the ocean and going ...
Slow, slow boat to Indonesia
Decided to spend the day on Bintang Island in Indonesia. Mistake! Got the wrong boat . . . should have taken 40 minutes on the hovercraft, but I ended up on the cheap boat the locals use and 2 long, boring hours later I was in Indo. I was the only white ...
Galang Baru Island, Riau Island, Indonesia.
This is a beautiful island south of Galang Island. A must visit beach. Lovely unspoilt beaches. It is also the end of the bridge islands connected roads. ...
Off to an Indonesian Island
So after a few days, we had had our fill of Singapore. We had hit the quay strip, Chinatown, Little India, museums, even eaten at Taco Bell (Thailand doesn't have one, so Dane and I were really pumped about that visit!). We were tired of ...

... Batam, belonging to a group of three island called Barelang. (abbreviation of Batam-Rempang-Galang) A member of Riau Archipelago, Indonesia, Halang is located just south of SIngapore and Johor. The nearest city to Galang is Tanjung Pinang or Bintan ...
Weekend in Indonesia!
With our passports safely back in our possession we were itching to get back on the road, or on the high sea to be more precise! We decided to take a ferry from Singapore to the Indonesian island of Bintan and find a beach to relax on. The ferry was ...
Our Singapore and Sentosa Islands trip, for 4 days
... , but they still care for the gardening as the city's lungs. They have very comfortable sidewalk. When I returned from Singapore to Jakarta (Indonesia) on 1 July 2007, then from Jakarta to Bali, I have to go to the airport 5 hours before my flight, in ...
The Silver Lining
... , but disappointingly small. Overall, my experience didn’t quite live up to my expectations of “snorkeling in Indonesia” (I employ quotations here because I want you to imagine what you would think if someone said “snorkeling in ...
Auf nach Bintan Island, Indonesia
Am Freitag galt es zuerst einmal, den Student Pass abzuholen. Das ist nämlich sozusagen unsere Aufenthaltsgenehmigung in Singapur. Bevor wir den nicht abgeholt hatten, durften wir das Land nicht verlassen. Allerdings war schon ein Trip nach Bintan ...
Off the beaten track
Left Singapore at 6.00pm from the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal and took two hours to reach Tanjungpinang. Arrived on "Hari Rayah" "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the ...
Bintan, Indonesia
We took Babci to Bintan for the weekend. This trip was disappointing because the beach was really dirty. Lots of garbage. We did not swim in the sea. We did use the beautiful pool. The rooms were basic, but clean. We ...
The Best Nikoi Trip
It all started... for the last 6 days, i spent away on a little island off the coast of Bintan, Indonesia. Its name was nikoi island. At first, i wasn’t sure i would like to go. I was never a huge fan of going to Nikoi, because i used to ...
20 Hours in Indonesia

Singapore is definitely an Island
... in the open air the entire ride, and it was wonderful. We rode around/through Batam and got a more in depth look at Indonesia, riding past multiple fishing villages and beautiful landscapes. We even saw a very modern, out-of-place bridge, an angry local ...
