Travel to Pengerang


JuteVilla
By car

Sungai Rengit is around 35 km south of Desaru, or 120 km from Johor Bahru. The distance from JB will decrease considerably once the Johor-Desaru Expressway opens. [Update] E22 is now open and the journey from JB to Desaru is now less than 1 hour.

By bum boat

Bum boats operate between Changi Ferry Terminal and Pengerang daily. There is no fixed schedule- the bumboat operators will only leave when there are 12 passengers. The earliest ferry is around 7 am, and the last bum boat is around 3-4pm Singapore on weekends. The schedule varies on weekdays. If you want to leave before 12 passengers have arrived, you can pay the boat operator for the missing seats. The price per passenger is S$11 each way, . Additional $2 for a bike.

The terminal in Singapore is located in the basement of the Changi Point Ferry Terminal. You will need to give your passport to the people operating the desk underneath a large "Pengerang" sign. They'll note your information on a sheet listing the passengers. When this list is full and a bumboat operator has arrived, he'll take the list of passengers and everyone's passports (at this time, you can retrieve and follow the boat operator through security). The ferry from Pengerang to Singapore has the same procedure.

The Changi Village bus terminal is 100m from the ferry. Taking a bus here is the best way to arrive via public transit.

Get around

Taxis shuttle between the Pengerang dock and Sungai Rengit for RM 5/person (shared, four person minimum) or RM 20/car (charter).

You can rent bicycles from Tristan Park Group for S$10 per day[1]. If you walk about 1 km eastward on the road leaving the ferry terminal (past the naval base, but before Pengerang), you'll see a sign for Tristan Park. There is a bicycle shop in Sungai Rengit (about 30m north of the Tai Hoe Hotel) that rents decent quality bikes for around RM 15 per day.
