anyone got info on this.
many many years didnt step into balai liao.


1 Way Ticket cost Rp.70,000 + Seaport Tax Rp.6000 Batam and Rp.3000 Balai
I always buy 1 way ticket because there are few operators and depending on the timing you are coming back from Balai and which operator have ferry service at that time and buy the return 1 way ticket from them.
Ferry Schedule, every 1.5 - 2 hours have services, but actual ETD very much depending on occupancy, if boat/ferry is not full or not enough passengers, they can wait for up to 1+ hour to fill the seats.
Actual travelling time is about 1.5hours per way, but as I’ve mentioned that waiting time can be up to 1+ hours.
Last ferry from Balai is 4pm but they normally ETD around 4.30 for the “usual” practices.
Depart Batam at Sekupang Domestic terminal, it’s just next to the International Terminal, Balai only has 1 terminal which is also next to the International.
