The first time I saw Kepri Coral Island, I was enthralled. How can this island paradise exist so near to Singapore and we have little information about it? Before too many tourists arrive at the island, you have to see experience the amazing clear waters, sea creatures and LIVE coral. Beautiful and clean, Kepri Coral features a dome village which you can stay in on the island itself. Though you are "roughing it out" on the island, the dome is well appointed with aircon, comfortable beds and a western sitting toilet ensuite.
One Min Dive Clip
A short one min clip of how beautiful the sea off Kepri Coral is. Pristine and untouched, with live coral, beautiful sea creatures and such gorgeous sea life. I'm so surprised that a sea so close to Batam can be so clear, clean and unpolluted. Kepri Coral is just an hour away from the last island of Batam.
Full Video of Dive
From the dive cam of a friend who dived into the water just off Kepri Coral Island - you can see the Live Coral teeming with different types of fish. My favourite would be the clown fish and the gorgeous star fishes and huge clams. Long video and very relaxing indeed.

Our Trip to Kepri Coral in Batam
After looking at photos of Kepri Coral, we were really excited to be finally heading to the beautiful island off Batam. Booking was really easy, all we had to do was send pictures of our passport via whatsapp to Soon travel. At the ferry counter, we provided our booking code and paid the seaport tax and were on our way to Batam on Batam Fast ferry. The ferry was really fast, and we landed in Sekupang Ferry Terminal in just 40 mins!
Out of immigration, we saw the tour guide in a red T-shirt waiting for us. He brought us to a mini van with the other tourists and we were on our way, passing all six bridges of Batam! The journey took about an hour, and was fun and comfortable. Why fun? The tour guide made it interesting, with a commentary of the sights we saw.
 The wind was blowing in our faces, and the view of the sea was just so calming! | Finally, we got to the pier and waited for the first and only ferry going to Kepri Coral!  Don't worry, this is the service boat, not our ferry! |
Before we had time to do more selfies, we arrived at the floating platform right in front of Kepri Coral! This is also where we would have lunch, which is timely, because I was starting to feel hungry. The ferry took just 30mins!

I was eager to go onto the island, but the activities on the floating platform beckoned. Lunch is also served, with fresh seafood caught from the sea that surrounded us. The toilets were modern, which meaans you can sit, but there are no hot water heaters on board, so if you do go on the banana boat / snorkel / dive, bear that in mind.
My girlfriend decided to try the banana boat while I sat on the speed boat to capture the action! She had so much fun and so did I - and I stayed dry! She also tried snorkeling and she was amazed at all the sea creatures she could see while snorkelling.

So, the reason we had such a pretty video of the seabed was one of our group members went diving! How glorious. He's got his certificates so he's allowed to go diving - make sure you get all the relevant training and certs if you want to go diving at Kepri Coral. A dive master showed him the suits and equipment, and in no time at all, he was off exploring while we went into the underwater viewing chamber to see what was out there.
The underwater viewing chamber was beautiful - and so real. Having previously been to the largest Aquarium in the world at SEA Aquarium in Sentosa, Singapore, I was still enthralled by the natural sea life swimming around. There is really no substitute for nature. There was also a shark enclosure so we got to feed the sharks!

After all the activities, we were feeling hungry and the timely lunch was served.
Lunch was really yummy with the freshest seafood! I'm missing Kepri Coral Island in Batam while creating this post! After lunch, it was time to explore the island, and we got onto the same ferry that brought us over and headed to the island!
Look at how beautiful the island is. The beach had fine white sand and the swimming pool was a welcome touch, for those who are afraid of swimming in the sea. Sitting by the poolside with the balmy breeze was also a pleasure, but I didn't have much time to sit by the pool and get a golden tan, for the rest of the island awaited.
Wait till you see the mangrove forest which they wove footpaths through, the whole experience was magical. The staff mentioned that at night, you can even spot fireflies.

The sand was so white and powdery! We had buggies to bring us around, so it was literally a breeze to tour the island. A mini farm is still being curated, so when it is ready, you will get to see ducks, geese, chickens and more. Perhaps they will allow visitors to feed the animals too.
We passed a dome village and I was really excited about that. You are able to stay in a dome, complete with aircon and the ensuite western toilet, so while "roughing it out", you get all the luxuries you are used to. The dome has a skylight where you are able to open and close easily, allowing you to watch the stars at night.

Apparently, they have a king sized bed, double beds and some domes will even allow 3 beds in the dome. Extra charges apply if you want to stay alone
My favourite experience on Kepri Coral Island is the mangrove forest. The owner of the island was tending to the mangrove forest when I arrived, and he reminded me of Tarzan, swinging from tree to tree. The mangrove forest had a magical quality which made me think of fairies and the like, and he told stories of how he would catch crabs at the forest too. You can see the crab he caught in the gallery above. At night, fire flies would emerge, and you will be forgiven for thinking you must have arrived at fairyland.
More photos at Tarzan's hut and their own vegetable garden. Families would definitely enjoy this as the treehouse is built in a very natural manner, around a tree. No trees were harmed in the making of the treehouse. Lots of instagramable seats and spaces too! Go wild at Tarzan's hut!
