What to expect
The one hour tour takes you on a nature encounter with Bintan’s rich mangrove forests. Journey through Sebung River and enjoy the flora and fauna of Mother Nature. Our experienced and knowledgable guides will educate guests on how the mangroves are created and the importance of mangrove trees in the eco-system for the maintenance and sustainability of clean water.
The mangroves play host to a variety of exotic wildlife. Some of the shy wildlife includes the macaque and silver leaf monkeys, monitor lizards and mangrove snakes. If you are lucky enough, you will be able to see snakes sleeping in the branches right above you and even monkeys swinging through the trees. Marine life fills the riverbed including, mudskippers, crabs, mud lobsters, snails and clams amongst many others. Towards the end of the river, the guide will also share the different uses of the plants found in the mangrove such as weaving of hats or building of roofs.
Admire locals as they go about their daily lives in the mangrove. Catch a glimpse of Orang Lauts (sea gypsies), their homes built on stilts (kelongs) and a traditional charcoal kiln that is dysfunctional now. Static fishing traps can also be seen along the river which fishermen use for their catch for the day.
Reviews
Beautiful experience with the fireflies tour, they value not just our experience but our safety, and also the protection of the mangrooves and fireflies. Guide very knowledgable, and gently helped us to hold the fireflies. Nice to look at the stars while on the boat. Pick up and drop off to our hotel made it very convenient also!
Must try this tour, very interesting, the tour guy give us lots of insight
We absolutely loved this experience and would recommend this to everyone! The tour guide we had was fluent in English, and extremely proactive in sharing information and answering questions around fireflies and Bintan :’) He was also very, very enthusiastic in catching fireflies without harming them, and going very near and upfront so we could capture videos. Our driver was also amazing. He was willing to drive us out to town (with charges), wait for us to eat our dinner, and then send us back to our hotel. He also shared information on facilities and buildings that we came across along the way, which also enabled us to understand more about how much Bintan has changed over the years. Thank you for the great experience!
If you stay Eastcoast of Bintan, this place is very suitable for you. Boat captain Aji very friendly and explained very well. in the middle of travel, you can see fantastic stars in the sky and many of fireflies. highly recommend
wonderful tour! prompt pick up and friendly driver (Mr Ari) it was a fascinating look at the fireflies with plenty of information provided by our guide. highly recommend
this was my best experience in bintan! the tour guide and driver were both very friendly and nice! loved the experience as we saw snakes and enjoyed the sea breeze too
tour got rescheduled due to weather but managed to go. there were many fireflies because of the rain. our guide Edi and driver Ari were also amazing.
The driver and tour guide provided excellent service, and they were accommodating even when we made last-minute changes to the itinerary.
Experienced guide to go through the mangrove system.
This is a bit overpriced tour. Our hotel offers the same tour and the dinner place is the same too. It's almost 35% cheaper. Think twice before you book it
