Private Tours Bintan Desert & Blue Lake

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!

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.

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!

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 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!!!

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!

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.

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

The email I received the day before when I made the reservation and the driver on the day were very kind. The desert and the blue lake were amazing, and the lunch we were given along the way was tax-free and delicious lobster. The ice in the glasses was also safe. The MVT was very interesting, and he guided us while taking videos the whole time. The reception area was very clean and wonderful. At the end, we stopped at a local souvenir shop. They accepted credit cards, and we were able to taste and buy sweets. Overall, I was very satisfied and it was a great tour.

Went for desert and blue lake tour followed by fireflies tour. our guide Anwar was very nice and helped us to take photos at the attractions. We saw many fireflies since it rained in the morning. Highly recommend for tourists to try once.
