Things to do in Bintan

The Mangrove Tour and Fireflies Tour were fantastic from start to finish. We were picked up directly from Natra Bintan Resort for both tours and sent back afterwards, making everything seamless and hassle-free. A huge thank you to our guide, Eddy, and boat captain, Pak Ah Boon. We enjoyed the daytime tour so much that we were delighted to have them again for the Fireflies Tour! Their sharp eyes helped us spot Silvered Leaf Monkeys (Lutung), a monitor lizard, mangrove and green rat snakes, a (big!) kingfisher, archer fish, and many crabs and fish. Eddy was friendly, knowledgeable, and taught us so much about the mangrove ecosystem, tides, wildlife, nipa palms, and even how natural red dye was made. The Fireflies Tour was magical. We saw countless fireflies, gently caught a few before releasing them, and Eddy even pointed out the stars in the clear night sky. We loved every minute. Safe, educational, and unforgettable—highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic experience !! Our driver, Mr Ali, was a joy to be with !! He was really accommodating & an expert navigator !! We had last minute requests to add on the itinerary (additional charge which we dont mind ofcourse) & he knew how to get there and gave us the right information as well !! The desert, blue lake even had a professional photographer included in the package so our pictures turned out great !! The honey & coffee picking was short but fruitful especially for coffee lovers like us !! Tasted authentic coffee & learnt a lot from them !! Overall, this package is soo worth it !! Would love to have Mr Ali as our driver again if we happen to come back !! 🙏🏽

We had a wonderful experience visiting the Sand Dunes and Blue Lake in Bintan. The scenery was beautiful, and we managed to take many great photos, including a photo session with the adorable owl. Our guide, Diki, was friendly, patient, and drove safely throughout the trip. He knew the best photo spots and made sure we had enough time to enjoy each location without feeling rushed. We also stopped by a local restaurant and souvenir shops, and there was no pressure to make any purchases. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable tour. Everything was well organized, and I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bintan. ( P.S. I've intentionally chosen photos that don't show our full face for privacy. )

Superb experience on the fireflies tour. We managed to see many stars and catch a few fireflies.

easy redemption of tickets over counter. nice lagoon with friendly staff and good communication in English. Only downside is the shower room water pressure is very low. shower room has hairdryer too.

This was one of the best experiences during our trip to Bintan Island. The itinerary was well-organized, and the driver was friendly, punctual, and professional. The views of the Bintan Sand Dunes and Blue Lake were breathtaking. The unique natural scenery and the crystal-clear blue lake provided a perfect backdrop for beautiful photos. Every stop was worth visiting and left us with unforgettable memories. The snorkeling experience was the highlight of the trip. The water was incredibly clear, and the marine life was vibrant; we saw many tropical fish. The equipment was clean and well-maintained, and the guide ensured everyone's safety, allowing us to fully enjoy ourselves. If you're looking for a tour that combines magnificent natural landscapes with exciting underwater adventures, then this itinerary is definitely the ideal choice. Highly recommended! We will definitely book this again on our next visit to Bintan Island!

Went for a day trip and met the most kind and efficient driver, helping us to take pictures. even allowed us to extend our trip for another few hours.

I opted for the Mangrove tour + Snorkeling + Dinner package. Pick-up was from accomodations by Mr Yurnalis. Hee was a wonderful driver. He spoke english, was punctual and attentive to all our requests, he would also inform us of drive duration between destinations. Tourguide Mr Taufiq led our Mangrove tour. His tour was very educational, he spotted animals for us and shared about its history and importance to the ecosystem. Mr Yurnalis then drove us to a small port for a short boat ride to a Kelong off-shore. At the Kelong, we snorkelled, fished, and kayaked! We were also served complimentary cup noodles and drinks. The guides on the Kelong we all friendly, helpful, patient and constantly checked-in on us to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. I really enjoyed the snorkeling portion, Abang Wandi used a Gopro to take lots of pics & vids of us. Download the Insta360 app to get footage for free. Dinner was at Bintan Seafood Brothers, it included 3 side dishes + rice + water. Very worth it!
