How much does the ferry from Singapore to Bintan cost?
Ferry prices from Singapore to Bintan move with the season and the vessel: the same crossing can cost a fraction on the conventional ferry in April of what the high-speed boat costs on an August weekend. Rather than quote a figure that will be wrong next week, we verify the fare for the day you want to sail and send it on WhatsApp before you decide.
What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.
Cheapest ferry ticket from Singapore to Bintan: how to pay less
A cheap Singapore to Bintan ferry ticket is not luck - it is the right boat on the right day. Here is how we find it:

- Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible; moving by a day often changes the fare
- Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
- Travel light - some fast boats limit luggage per passenger
- Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators

How to book ferry tickets from Singapore to Bintan with Haqqi Tours
Booking a ferry from Singapore to Bintan with us takes minutes and one conversation. Fill in the short form on this page with your date, one-way or return, the number of adults and children. Our staff messages you through WhatsApp to check your booking: we confirm the sailings that day, the vessel, the seats or cabin and the cost. You choose, we book, and the e-ticket arrives in the same chat.
- Step 1 - send the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children
- Step 2 - we message you by WhatsApp with the sailings, vessels, seats or cabins and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the sailing you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the electronic ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Bintan
Because a person books it, we can line the Singapore to Bintan ferry up with a flight or a train the same day, choose the sailing that leaves a safe margin, and warn you if the weather forecast makes the fast boat a risk.
Timetable and season of the Singapore to Bintan ferry
The Singapore to Bintan ferry timetable is seasonal: high summer brings the fullest schedule and the earliest sell-outs; spring and autumn have fewer boats and better fares; winter runs a reduced service on many crossings. The crossing itself takes about 1 hour. Let us know the day and we send the sailings, and we flag the ones most exposed to a cancellation in bad weather.
Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.
Departure: Tanah Merah ferry terminal
Your crossing starts at Tanah Merah ferry terminal. Large ports have several gates and the boarding gate is announced on the boards and on the ticket; we send the gate and the check-in time with your confirmation. Changi's MRT station makes the train a fair option for one traveller with a cabin bag, with a change at Tanah Merah and a walk at the end; a family with luggage, a late-night arrival or a Sentosa hotel is simpler by car along the ECP in about 20 minutes.
- Keep the electronic ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
- Luggage is carried free within the ferry company's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
- Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Tanah Merah ferry terminal; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
- Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your hotel in Singapore to the port on request
Arrival: Bandar Bentan Telani, Bintan Resorts
You step off at Bandar Bentan Telani, Bintan Resorts. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.
Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.
On board the Singapore to Bintan ferry: seats, cabins and luggage
On board, the ferry from Singapore to Bintan is relaxed: you can walk about, sit inside or on deck, eat at the café and watch the coast. Seat classes differ in space and quiet - economy, airline seats, lounge or business on the fast boats; cabins of two to four berths on overnight ferries. The fast boats are passenger-only, so bags stay with you.
- Passengers only - luggage stays with you
- Children's fares by age; infants normally free
- Pets accepted on many ships in carriers or kennels - tell us if one is travelling
- Seats: economy, airline-style, lounge and business on the fast boats; deck seats on the slow ferries
Things to do in Bintan after the ferry
Bintan is the resort island an hour from Singapore, with beach resorts, mangroves and the blue lake. Start with the Blue Lake, Tanjung Pinang and Bintan Resorts beaches, then the mangrove tour.
If you want the days in Bintan organised - a driver, a boat trip, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it on WhatsApp.
Best time to take the ferry from Singapore to Bintan
The ferry from Singapore to Bintan runs all year on most operators, but not equally: summer brings the most sailings and the highest fares, shoulder months the best balance, winter a reduced service. Whatever the month, booking early is the single biggest saving, especially with a car or a cabin.
Ferry or flight from Singapore to Bintan?
For most passengers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Singapore and lands you in Bintan itself, carries as much luggage as you can wheel, and turns the journey into part of the holiday. A flight only wins when the crossing is long and time is short. Haqqi Tours provides flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Can I change or cancel my ferry ticket?
It depends on the company and the fare; most tickets can be changed for a fee, the cheapest cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any change for you afterwards.
Can I bring a pet?
Many ships accept pets in carriers or on-board kennels, sometimes for a small fee. Tell us by WhatsApp and we confirm the rules for your sailing.
Is it better to take the ferry or fly from Singapore to Bintan?
For most people the ferry: it docks in the town, carries all the luggage, and generally costs less door to door. We book flights too and say which is better for your dates.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange transfers to and from the ports?
Yes - a private car from your accommodation to Tanah Merah ferry terminal and a driver waiting at Bandar Bentan Telani, Bintan Resorts, with room for the luggage, on the same confirmation as the ferry ticket.
How early should I be at Tanah Merah ferry terminal?
Foot passengers 45 to 60 minutes before sailing, earlier on international routes. Some fast boats board ten minutes before departure and do not wait, so we send the exact cut-off with the ticket.
Do I need a passport for this ferry?
An ID is enough on most domestic sailings; carry a passport on any international crossing. We confirm what applies when we send the ticket.
Can I choose a seat or a cabin?
Yes, where the ship has classes: airline, lounge or business seats on the fast boats, cabins on overnight sailings. Tell us your preference and we send the cost of each.
Is the crossing rough?
Generally calm. In windy weeks the fast catamarans pitch more than the large ferries, and morning sailings tend to be the smoothest. Let us know if you suffer from seasickness and we choose the steadier vessel.
What if the weather cancels the sailing?
The shipping line rebooks you on the next sailing or refunds the ticket, and our WhatsApp desk handles it for you on the day. When the forecast is poor we suggest the conventional ferry, which sails in weather that cancels the fast boats.
Do children need a ferry ticket?
Yes, at a child fare; infants generally sail free. Put the ages on the form and we apply the right fares for the Singapore to Bintan crossing.
Can I book a return ferry ticket?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form with both dates; round-trip and open-return fares are cheaper with many companies and we book whichever suits you best.
Is there a luggage limit on the ferry?
Bags are not weighed on the big ferries and travel free within the operator's limits; the fast passenger boats sometimes cap the number of pieces. We tell you what applies to your sailing.
Can I take a car on the Singapore to Bintan ferry?
No - the vessels on this crossing carry passengers only. Haqqi Tours provides transfers or rental cars at the other end if you need wheels.
