When I am next in Singapore, I want to have an adventure (!) over the Equator, where I can watch the lattitude and longitude countdown on my iPhone as we get closer and closer to the Equator. Of course, this voyage would have to be enroute to Indonesia. Is this possible from Sentosa?
I found this video on YouTube

(Seems this guy did it from Sumatra over to Java. :confused:)

It's possible, but not easy: you'd need to catch the PELNI ferry from Batam to Jakarta via a whole slew of small islands, which runs once a week or so and is regularly delayed by several days. Navigating their website (
http://www.pelni.com/) will give you a hint of what this journey would entail, but here's a notional route map from 2006:

I wonder if the OP hasn't quite appreciated the distance from Singapore to the equator (it's not like it just skirts along the southern fringes of the island).
A quick google suggests it's 85 miles - that's a good few hours on a decent ferry. I could probably dig out my old edition of "S E Asia on a shoestring" but the map posted by jpatokal probably flags up the place I managed to get to on the East coast of Bintan. It rained for two days solid whilst I waited for the boat before giving it up as a bad idea and retracing my route which I think was a share taxi across Bintan, boat to Batam, bus across there then a ferry back to Singapore. I then managed to keep going and all in the same day made it to Mersing. Got to Tioman a day later and the sun was out. Paradise!
