You will need to go to Tanjung Pinang first, the main port town in Pulau Bintan, which is located just below Singapore. From Bintan, you can go by ferry to Anambas, a 7-8 hour trip. Once in Anambas, you'll need to charter a boat to Pulau Bawah.
Once you're in Jemaja, ideally, you depart from Kuala Maras, as the distance to Pulau Bawah is closest from here. The trip takes about 2 hours by speedboat, or 4 hours by pompong, a slower diesel-engine fishing sampan.
