Planning a short getaway to Desaru or exploring the coastal destinations around southern Malaysia? A well-planned ferry journey can make your trip more convenient while helping you save on travel costs.
Through its Exploring Malaysia with BatamFast campaign, running from 1 October to 31 December 2026, BatamFast offers several promotional discounts on eligible ferry journeys. Depending on your travel day and destination, you can enjoy savings of S$5, S$6 or S$10 on selected return ferry tickets.
Whether you’re planning a weekend escape, a midweek break or a visit to the Sungai Rengit area, here’s how to make the most of these offers.

One of the easiest ways to take advantage of BatamFast’s promotions is to match your travel plans with the available discount codes.
1. Save S$10 on Thursday Departures
If your schedule allows for a midweek getaway, consider travelling on a Thursday.
Use the promo code GOTHUR to enjoy S$10 off an eligible return ferry ticket between Desaru Coast and Tanah Merah during the campaign period.
A Thursday departure can be a practical option if you’d like to begin your trip before the weekend and enjoy a little more flexibility when planning your itinerary.

2. Save S$6 on Weekend Ferry Departures

If you’re exploring the Sungai Rengit area, there’s another promotion to consider.

The offer is available when you purchase your ticket through the BatamFast website or mobile app.

This option may suit travellers looking to explore beyond the main Desaru Coast area and include Sungai Rengit in their travel plans.
Prefer to Purchase Your Ticket in Person?

This can be a useful option if you prefer assistance when arranging your ferry journey or want to purchase your ticket in person.

Plan Your Journey Between Desaru Coast and Tanah Merah
When organising your trip, consider your departure point, return date and preferred ferry schedule.
The Desaru Deals promotions cover eligible travel in both directions between Desaru Coast and Tanah Merah, with the relevant offers applying to return ferry tickets.
Before finalising your itinerary, check the available ferry schedules for your intended dates. This will help you coordinate your transport, accommodation and activities more comfortably.
If you’re planning a weekend visit, booking around the eligible promotional departure days can also help you make better use of the available discounts.
Make More of Your Desaru Getaway
Desaru offers an opportunity to take a break from your regular routine, whether you’re looking to enjoy the coastal surroundings, spend quality time with family or explore destinations in southern Malaysia.
You can build your itinerary around your interests and the amount of time available. Consider leaving room for a leisurely meal, exploring the local area or visiting attractions around Desaru Coast.
For travellers interested in golf, dining and shopping, The Els Club Desaru Coast is another destination to consider. Eligible BatamFast passengers can enjoy 10% off at Big Easy Bar & Grill, The Founders Bar and the Golf Shop by presenting a BatamFast boarding pass, booking confirmation or eFast membership.
This additional offer can be a useful consideration when planning a wider Desaru itinerary.
