Private Tours Bintan Desert & Blue Lake

I saw on the news that Grab service is now available in Bintan, but it seems like the area is somewhat limited (because I turned on Grab in the middle and it said it wasn't available in that area). I felt a bit lost about how to find transportation, so I searched for a day tour and booked it urgently a day before, and I think it was an excellent choice. Because the guide was so, so great!! 🥳 I don't know if it's a random assignment or if only this guide is assigned, but the guide's name was Anwar, and communication was smooth via KakaoTalk even late at night. Before meeting, he carefully gave accurate pick-up location information again, the car was clean, and he prepared bottled water in the car in advance. Oh, and another great thing was that Anwar had a drone and even filmed with it! He said he wasn't a great expert, but I thought he was skilled enough to film, and he even let me fly the drone once, haha. I had a very enjoyable time. Originally, he explained the Chinese temple on the way to Blue Lake and said we'd stop by on the way back, but the last speedboat time was 6 pm, so we had to rush back ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ I highly recommend it to anyone planning to go to Bintan!! It's a shame that I can't attach the video! Oh, and you have to get to Bintan Island on your own, and the tour starts from Bintan Island! There are many eagles or owls there, and it's okay to just take pictures, but it seems like you have to pay if you take pictures with them. I was scared, so I didn't do it, but those who are interested should keep that in mind, haha. I went to Blue Lake around 2-4 pm on a weekday, and it was nice because there were no people or sunlight, but they say Blue Lake looks bluer when there is sun. Well, I thought it was good enough.

It was fun! Our tour guide (Mr Dona) was our driver and he was very hospitable. Highlight was snorkeling. We could see clownfish, giant clams, variety of fish. Corals not so much but it was still fun. Should prepare extra cash to pay for snorkeling photos (150k). It's worth it. Blue lake was quite hot so good to put sunblock and bring hat. We only went there for around 10minutes before lunch at kelong. For lunch at kelong, bring extra cash also (not part of package). The fried sotong and sambal kangkong was not bad!

The tour was great. they will contact you via WhatsApp for timing. we choose to snorkel in the morning due to wet weather afternoon. the ocean was so clear. kayak and fishing was free . Driver so polite. will choose this agent again!!!

Mr Muji was our driver and it was only us 2 pax for the entire car. Took us around the place and was quite helpful in trying to explain the sceneries. I think the highlight of the trip was the snorkeling experience. Amazing scenery and the guys at the snorkeling area helped us take pictures underwater as well as offered kayaking/fishing experience as well.

Had a widnerful experience. Our Guide Mr Dona was amazing. Mr Dona was friendly and helpful. Mr Dona Advised us on the timings so we could have a full on experience without missing anything. Snorkeling was amazing, location and atmosphere was beautiful. Guides gave an exceptional service. GoPro photos are provided at no extra cost. Blue Lake and Dessert was fun. Alot of activities to be done (cost of activities such as ATV, Horse Riding, Owl Pics, Floating house etc is not included in the package but its worth the money). Seafood Lunch was delicious!

It was an amazing and fruitful day well spent. In the morning, we were greeted with a helpful driver, Mr Mujianto. He was early and ready to show us around, as he drove, he introduced to us the attraction places and tourist places in Bintan. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about areas and places in Bintan. Thereafter, we started our snorkelling first, which was 1h ride away. We needed to take a small speedboat in, and after we saw other people, we were delighted as we thought that we were the only 2 today. There were quite a few more groups of tourists that went there even though it's quite ulu. There was fishing too. We enjoyed our snorkeling experience as there was a person there to guide you as he takes photos and videos with a gopro to send it to you later on. Then, we went to batam sovenier shop and bought some goodies, before proceeding to the blue lake and bintan desert. He also took photos for us professionally and shared with us some places that he recommend.

nice experience esp the mangrove tour. nice driver, friendly, helpful.

We had an amazing experience on our trip to the Blue Lagoon and Bintan Desert! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and the highlights made it truly memorable. First off, we had the car all to ourselves, which was a pleasant surprise since we were only two pax. This made the trip more comfortable and personalized. The professional photographer at the Blue Lagoon was a fantastic addition—we got beautiful photos to take home as souvenirs! One of the things we appreciated was the flexibility of the tour. We were given the option to choose where we wanted to have lunch, which added a nice touch to the day. On top of that, our driver went above and beyond by making a quick stop at a grocery store for us to grab some essentials, even though it wasn’t part of the itinerary. Our driver was incredibly kind and accommodating throughout the trip, adding to the overall positive experience. All in all, this was a fun and hassle-free trip. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bintan!

Bahri was our driver, he was helpful and overall a very pleasant short tour. Highly recommend you guys to book this! Blue lake and sand dunes was beautiful and the mangrove forest fireflies tour was very informative. Managed to see the fireflies even tho it was hot. The guide will catch a few to of them and hand it to you. Very interesting!

The driver was very friendly, polite and professional. The car was very clean and comfortable. He also helped us in further booking of Fireflies tour too. Certainly will refer him to my friends too who are visiting to Bintan.
