Traveling from Singapore to Bintan is one of the easiest and most enjoyable international trips you can take in Southeast Asia. In less than a day—or even just a weekend—you can leave the busy city behind and arrive at a peaceful island filled with beaches, resorts, and nature. With smooth connections, short travel time, and well-organized facilities, Bintan is designed to make your journey simple from start to finish.
If you are planning your trip, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know—from ferry options to arrival experience—so you can travel with confidence.
A Short Trip from Singapore
One of the biggest reasons travelers choose Bintan is its close proximity to Singapore. Unlike other island destinations that require flights and long transfers, Bintan is just across the sea. This makes it perfect for quick getaways, last-minute trips, or even a relaxing escape after a busy work week.
Imagine leaving Singapore in the morning and arriving at a beachfront resort before lunch. That is how convenient the journey is. With minimal travel time and easy access, Bintan offers the feeling of a faraway holiday without the long-distance travel.
Travel Time: Less Than 60 Minutes
One of the highlights of this journey is how fast it is. The ferry ride takes approximately 60 minutes, making it one of the quickest ways to travel internationally in the region.
During the ride, you can relax in comfortable seating while enjoying views of the open sea. The short duration also makes it ideal for families and first-time travelers, as the journey is simple and not tiring.
To ensure a smooth departure, it is recommended to arrive at the ferry terminal at least 60–90 minutes before your scheduled departure. This allows enough time for check-in, immigration clearance, and boarding.
Before You Travel: Indonesia Entry Requirement
Before entering Bintan, travelers are required to follow Indonesia’s entry procedures. One important step is completing the All Indonesia application or any required health declaration, depending on the latest regulations.
In addition, make sure you have the following ready:
A passport with at least 6 months validity
A return ferry ticket
Any required entry forms or declarations
Preparing these in advance will help you pass through immigration smoothly and avoid unnecessary delays. It is always recommended to check the latest travel requirements before your departure.
Arrival Experience in Bintan
Upon arrival at Bandar Bentan Telani Ferry Terminal, you will immediately notice how organized and tourist-friendly the process is. Immigration clearance is usually quick, and the terminal is clean, efficient, and easy to navigate.
What makes Bintan unique is that the ferry terminal is already located within the resort area. This means that once you clear immigration, you are already close to your hotel, beach, or activity. There is no need for long transfers, which allows you to start your holiday almost immediately.
Getting Around in Lagoi
Getting around in Lagoi is simple and convenient. Many resorts provide complimentary shuttle services directly from the ferry terminal, making your arrival seamless.
