Tohto Hypersonic July 1, 2022 Share July 1, 2022 19 hours ago, teomingern said: How fast then do you think the ferry will be? 2 hours is already quite slow for what is called a 'fast ferry' leh... plus if it's the type that I took before to Tioman - it's super noisy and vibrates like crazy... Anyway not for me... my wife can't swim - she sure veto this option... ha ha... I am more worry of the how stable it is? Will it cause sea sickness easily. The wave of the South China Sea during monsoon season should be quite strong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman888 Moderator July 1, 2022 Share July 1, 2022 Desaru nothing much to see or do, to spend $118 might as well go Batam or Bintan where ferry ticket is cheaper. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wave of the South China Sea during monsoon season should be quite strong. My last experience was that the ferry tended to crash over the waves due to it's speed... it wasn't very big... I refer to the fast ferry to Pulau Tioman.... definitely had lots of green gills onboard that trip... but we were young and recovered once we landed...

Watwheels Supersonic July 1, 2022 Share July 1, 2022 Desaru coast seems like a nice quiet place to go. For family with kids it can look quite sian, nothing to do. But can bring xiao san there. Wont run into someone you know and it is quite loh-mantic. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karoon Turbocharged July 1, 2022 Share July 1, 2022 (edited) Wow... Just saw the location of the ferry terminal. It is quite up north, in fact runs parallel for 16km along the desaru coastline. Desaru waves are already very choppy. Hopefully won't be too much of a roller coaster. Was hoping it would be much further down south.

Tohto Hypersonic July 1, 2022 Share July 1, 2022 I am just guessing will the ferry terminal become white elephant at the end like many of their project with the ticket price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitvip Supersonic July 1, 2022 Share July 1, 2022 4 pax ticket is 472 dollars. I think it would be cheaper to drive there and more freedom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive is definitely much better during normal weekends or weekdays. But during peak period, some might actually pay for this since you avoid the crowds at the causeway.

I guess the ticket price will be adjusted according to demand. Honestly, many people want to travel there esp over the weekend - price is the main factor. Hope there can be another service to Puteri harbor too! Edited July 1, 2022 by ToyotaShuttle ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
