Are there any recommended tour operators or boat services for visiting the island?
@Eduardo Saverin Yes, there are several local tour operators in Batam that offer day trips to Pulau Abang, usually including boat transfers, snorkeling gear, lunch, and a guide. I personally recommend checking recent reviews before booking, as service quality can vary over time. If it's your first visit, joining an organized tour is often the easiest option since they know the best snorkeling spots and can handle all the logistics. 🚤🐠🌊
