Bintan

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 !! 🙏🏽

Although the weather wasn’t ideal and it rained heavily, requiring us to adjust our itinerary, our tour guide, Diki, did an excellent job making the most of the day. He quickly adapted the plans by arranging an early lunch while the rain was at its heaviest, ensuring that we didn’t waste any time and were still able to enjoy the trip. The sand dune was an old mining place. lovely place to take picture. Thanks to the photographer too!

Tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa. Nuestro guía, el Sr. Dona, fue increíble. El Sr. Dona fue amable y servicial. El Sr. Dona nos aconsejó sobre los horarios para que pudiéramos tener una experiencia completa sin perdernos nada. El snorkel fue increíble, la ubicación y el ambiente eran hermosos. Los guías brindaron un servicio excepcional. Se proporcionan fotos de GoPro sin costo adicional. El Lago Azul y el Desierto fueron divertidos. Hay muchas actividades para hacer (el costo de actividades como ATV, paseos a caballo, fotos con búhos, casa flotante, etc., no está incluido en el paquete, pero vale la pena el dinero). ¡El almuerzo de mariscos estuvo delicioso!

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!

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

It was excellent. Mr. Awa not only drove us but also personally accompanied and guided us through Blue Lake and ATV activities that we requested. He even arranged for a colleague (from the same company, he said) to take professional DSLR photos of us at Blue Lake, capturing once-in-a-lifetime shots. Everything was perfect, from the pickup at Tanjung Uban to the drop-off at the Indigo Lagoi IHG Hotel where we were staying.

I went to the safari. It's not a very big place; you can walk or take a buggy ride. The price is a bit costly though. The eco-farm is interesting but a bit short.

Just one day before we went to Bintan, I decided to book a day tour. This highly recommended day tour had caught my attention while I was searching in KLOOK. The company was very responsive; they contacted me shortly after I had made the booking. They assigned our job to Mr Wayan, who was our private tour guide and driver. To our surprise, Mr Wayan can speak English very well (and Singlish too!). When we saw there was a long queue at the custom immigration, we requested to start our tour from the ferry terminal instead of the hotel, Mr Wayan was flexible and fetched us as per our request. Our itinerary - Mangrove tour (pay at site), 500 Lohan Temple, Vihara Pagoda, Kelong Seafood, Souvenir shop (Kueh Lapis), Sand Dune and Blue Lake, Body Massage (pay at site). Mr Wayan is attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, responsible, trustworthy, reliable and honest. This tour and Mr Wayan is highly recommended! We enjoyed every bit of the tour! Thank you!

The trip was truly unforgettable, and the night visit to the mangrove jungle was a very unique and fascinating experience. We were able to see fireflies—there weren’t too many, as it greatly depends on the weather—but this did not affect our overall impression at all. Also we were very lucky to have Yudi as our driver. He was incredibly attentive and patient. Thanks to him, we learned so much about life on the island, its culture, and local traditions. Everything was still magical and we highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something special and different.
