We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Anto! He is super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about Bintan Island. Anto recommended great local places to eat, and every spot he suggested was a hit. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, even helping to carry our things and assisting others along the way. We’re truly happy to have had him as our guide. When we visit Bintan again, we’ll definitely request Anto. Highly recommended!

The staff was good. I got there at 6 p.m. and it was empty, and I enjoyed it a lot. This was my first time seeing a city from such a height. I also experienced the VCR.

Was able to see a lot of fireflies in the area at night, even i it's just a short trip around the area. Only downside is the transportation getting to and from the area, but apart from that this is definitely worth including for a night itinerary
