Bintan Safari Lagoi és Öko Farm

the driver was okay. he could not speak English so he communicated with us via a translation app. its ok as his job is only to drop us off at the places. we went to eco farm first. quite a small place but they showed us the maggots area, fish feeding, bees and honey, marigold flower, passionfruit and black pepper plant. pls note the maggots area is really strong smelling >< then we were picked up to go to the safari. oh boy, the weather was scorching. the buggy (500k rupiah) and animal feeding (250k rupiah) were exorbitant and we didn't want to pay. the lady told us we would take 1.5hour to finish walking but we were done in less than an hour. its not that bad, we followed the path with arrows and saw everything. however, we felt very bad as the animals did not look like they were in good condition... especially the elephant. it was so hot that most of the animals were hiding.

There are many learning opportunities at the Eco Farm. Got to witness the life cycle of black soldier flies, pick fruits such as passion fruit and rosella flower, feed the fishes etc. They have their own stingless bee hives and we got to taste their honey direct from it. The Safari is nearby at another location and there are many animals. Paid extra for the buggy ride and animal feed because it was too hot. A lot of vegetables were prepared for the animal feed, including elephant, ostrich, rabbits, tortoises, fishes, deers etc. There was a small pack of meat for the alligators too. Their pythons were huge and there are 2 tigers at the safari as well. Fun times for children.

Tour guide was friendly, well planned itinerary, quality of transfer was great! Those with kids or those who loves eco garden can make your way to the eco farm. My kids loves giving food to the animals. Advisable to rent the tram at safari lagoi for those who can't walk far and with young kids because the place is huge. Definitely coming back!

Very fun and educational experience for our kids, especially with tons of opportunities to interact with and feed the animals... recommended to rent a buggy and purchase the animal feeding package to maximise the fun!

Weather wasn't great when we went but was able to rent a buggy and tour the entire farm, did feeding for every animal available too!

It was fun because we got to feed the animals up close and take pictures with them. We also rode the buggy, which made it easier for us to visit the different animals in the sanctuary.

The Zoo are very pretty and theres attention to details on their building structure. You can finish everything in a n hour. But it’s very nice to explore their zoo, supporting their local funds to make the zoo a bigger and better place. They do have orangutan , tigers, python , vulture etc. Overall it’s a nice experience.

Quite a fun experience for the kids and adults. Decided to rent the buggy for 500 000 rupiah, feeding experience is 350 000 rupiah, consisting of carrots (rabbit), kang kong (deer), one piece of chicken (crocodile), banana (orange utan), fish food, banana (cassowary), chicken feed (water hens, cucumber (ostrich). Terrain is undulating so if walking have a good pair of shoes. Elephants were away for the day, otherwise other than animals above, saw tigers, many birds like kites, white bellied sea eagles, hornbill, pythons and constrictors, otters,lizards. photo taking opportunity at the end with the fishing owl. overall great fun for the kids!

Super fun for the kids if you buy their add on stuff like feeding package and elephant ride. Suggest buy the buggy rental as well as walking on foot maybe too tough for the kids.

went to the safari. not very big place , can walk or take a buggy ride. price is Abit costly though. eco farm is interesting but Abit short
