Join me as I explore Batam, an island in Indonesia often overlooked by tourists. In this vlog, I take you through the less traveled paths of Batam, from its quiet temples to bustling market festivals. Discover Batam's promenade, wander through its malls, and experience the local culture firsthand.
Despite Batam being an island for people from Singapore to come there for a weekend, I found the island had limited activities and areas that were covered with trash. I give you my honest review of Batam, showcasing both the good and the less appealing aspects, helping you decide if it's a destination for your travel list.
Follow me for more :)

Batam is actually a city that is still under development and this city is more geared towards industry and services than tourism. If they want to travel, most Batam people come to the surrounding islands such as Bintan, Balai Karimun, Natuna and Anambas which have more natural attractions.

@Manusdreamabroad 4 месяца назад

That explains a lot 😅 maybe next time I go to the other islands you mentioned!

Batam is a place where Singaporean businessmen take their secretaries for ahem…business. A seedy experience.

@Manusdreamabroad Месяц назад

:D :D well i might say there are better places for Business haha

I loved riding the buses and MRT in Spore, too. Lots of trash in Vietnam, too but still enjoy travel.

@Manusdreamabroad 15 дней назад

Are there buses in Batam? I didn't see any.. Yes, the trash is a lot..

Best place in Batam......the exit channel at the ferry terminal. Just joking (well sort of)......get over to Nongsa - got golf, monkeys, café, beach bars, good food, watersports-jet ski's, paragliding, yachts, BBQ buffets. 1)-Tiger Beach Club 2)-Nongsa Marina 3)-Turi Beach Resort 4)-Nongsa Village 5)-The Gallery Shop & Café

@Manusdreamabroad Месяц назад

yeah the exit channel was fantastic haha. guess the places you recommend are better, thats always the risk when you go somewhere where you dont know anything about,,

Hello, Great video ! Few questions: 1) Can I use Grab in Batam ? 2) Where can I buy a SIM Card as soon as I arrive in Batam from Singapore ? 3) Is Batam cheaper than Bali. I am confuse to decide which island I can go since I have just 3 days to go back to Singapore. Thank you so much for your help. Take care !

@Manusdreamabroad 4 месяца назад

Hey! Yes you can use grab there, it is pretty easy. Depending on what SIM card you have from Singapore you might be able to have data roaming in Indonesia. I haven’t been to Bali yet so I don’t know about the prices, Batam wasn’t as cheap as I expected it to be.. If I were you I wouldn’t go to Batam tho. Maybe if you want to do watersports then it could be nice (that’s what I heard) but the city itself isn’t interesting or much to do.. Hope I could help you :)

@Manusdreamabroad 4 месяца назад

And thanks for the feedback 😊

@btkindonesia137 Месяц назад

Grab - best in Batam no issues, Telcomsel or XL can easy get at airport/ferry terminals, Batam & Bali completely different, it's like comparing chalk n cheese, Batam is more expensive now. Bintan or Ranoh Isl worth a trip.

Batam is a working class place unlike bali. Sad to see those thrash.

@Manusdreamabroad 4 месяца назад

It was really sad how much trash there was. I wasn’t even filming all of it..

@btkindonesia137 Месяц назад

the trash has got out of control........once too much they just have a burn up on the side of the roads.......I see a lot of people complaining about this to the authorities' now.

@Manusdreamabroad Месяц назад
