Batam Island is an island of Indonesia located just a 45-minute ferry ride from Singapore, making it a choice destination for both Singapore locals and tourists looking for a day trip out of Singapore. It is well known as a free trade zone area, so be prepared to shop till you drop!Rise and shine to board the ferry at 8:15am at Harbourfront Center for the first ferry to Batam.

Upon your arrival at Batam Island, you will be greeted by your tour guide to start the Batam tour after immigration clearance. Located near the Batam Centre Ferry Terminal is the famous Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Temple that you will visit.
