Changi Point Ferry Terminal is located at Changi Village, close to the Changi Village Food Centre. It is next to the bridge leading to Changi Beach Park.

Do not confuse Changi Point Ferry Terminal with Changi Ferry Terminal. They sound similar but are at different locations.

Those who are driving can park their cars at the large, open-air car park beside Changi Point Ferry Terminal. By public bus, take Bus 2 to Changi Village and find your way to Changi Point Ferry Terminal.

Once at Changi Point Ferry Terminal, head down the stairs.

There are two queues here. 

One queue, with seats facing the channel of water, is for boats that go to Pulau Ubin or Smith Marine, Singapore’s first floating kelong restaurant. Another is for boats going to Penggerang, Johor.

If you find that you have to produce your passport to get on the boat, you are probably in the wrong queue.

Do not that photography is not allowed within the terminal.
