Yes, you can. But if you are going with only a few, will need to call them in advance and there might be a small fee to pay. Or you might need to buy some durian from them to offset that fee.

Do note that most if not all hotels in Batam will reject you from bringing durian into their premises (unless you can seal those durian scent, of course). There is a likelihood you might get into some kind of trouble if you start eating your concealed durian in some hotel's room too. So do check with the hotel in advance before you commit your purchase.

I been there for others except the durian tour.
Bro secara is right on Batam durian, if i were to compare with malaysia ones. Actually to be a little open here, the best durian is right in Singapore, not even Malaysia durian ones can match it (base on my own taste bud). Perhaps can even go on par or if not better than the Malaysia's Mao Shang Wang durian.

Try Pulau Ubin's durian for starter,hehehe...if you are seriously onto durians. Go there instead of Batam for better durians.
