Complete Singapore Desaru Ferry Guide: Ticket Prices, Booking, Schedule & More!
Joel Koh●
Feeling a little burned out at work?
Need a break?
I feel you.
Although work is important, you need to be taking care of yourself.
And as a wise singer once said ‘休息是为了 走更长的路’ (Chinese for resting will allow you to go on a longer journey).
But enough with the melancholy.
If you really need a break, you might want to consider a holiday to Desaru Coast.
This idyllic holiday destination overlooking the South China Sea will induce a sense of refreshing calm in you.
The best part? Desaru Coast is just a 90-minute ferry ride away.
But, tickets aren’t cheap.
That being said, check out our price guide for the Singapore-Desaru ferry.
And since we are such nice people, we’ll throw in a list of things you can do there, as well as a guide to how much hotels there cost!
