Bintan

This was my first time in Indonesia. I booked a last-minute snorkeling service, and the pickup location was incorrect, but customer service patiently helped me follow up. Our guide, Fendy, spoke excellent Chinese. From the moment he picked us up, he enthusiastically introduced us to the unique features of each attraction. He accompanied us throughout the entire trip, providing detailed explanations, which was truly wonderful! Visiting the mangrove forest was also a great experience; we saw snakes and lizards. My first snorkeling experience felt fantastic, and both Fendy and the snorkeling instructor were incredibly patient. The local seafood hawker stall Fendy took us to was also excellent and very cost-effective. It really shows the importance of a good guide! Everyone can confidently choose Fendy; he is witty, patient, and humorous.

Dive into paradise with Bintan Cool — it is a truly distinctive sea adventure from the Kelong, a traditional stilted structure rising above the sea. They offer free hotel pick‑up, friendly staff, clean bathroom, beverages, crystal clear water, spectacular sea view, and most importantly unforgettable underwater videos of vibrant fishes 🐠and coral. From the kelong base, we kayak across calm, clear waters to the mangrove coastline and back, dive in to snorkel among vibrant coral and colorful fishes (and Nemo 🐟). The staff were so professional and they took our underwater videos with the Nemo, it’s the highlight of this tour! We were so glad we add the underwater video in our package, it’s sooo worth it!

i feel it is value for money, it feels like I’m on a cruise. free flow of drinks, and a lot of food available. the buffet lunch is the highlight. even though it’s a buffet, but the plating and quality are great. It is also great to be able to have golf, archery lessons, free access sports…etc. the service is also great. cons is that we will not be able to enjoy those that require booking the day before, such as yoga. some other challenges for day pass user are: you will need to bring various clothes and foot wear, and will also be sweaty towards the end of day (i don’t know if there r any locker or shower facilities). that said, i still feel it is a good “day trip” for those who want to venture out and not stay in hotel for the whole trip.

This day trip was one of the best experiences of our Bintan Island journey. The itinerary was meticulously planned, perfectly blending natural scenery, cultural experiences, and local sightseeing. The views of the sand dunes and the Blue Lake were breathtaking and beautiful, with excellent photo opportunities everywhere. We also visited the Sleeping Buddha Temple, Guan Yin Temple, and the 500 Lohan Temple. Each location offered its unique history and a serene, peaceful atmosphere, making this cultural tour unforgettable. Exploring Tanjung Pinang gave us the chance to experience local life and gain a deeper understanding of the island's culture. The transportation was comfortable and convenient, and our driver was friendly, professional, and always punctual. He made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. We highly recommend this day trip to anyone looking to experience the essence of Bintan Island in a single day. It perfectly combines beautiful landscapes, cultural landmarks, and excellent service, offering incredible value for money!

booking is a beeze with friendly driver to send to the boat location to the kelong. instructor is great and took lots of pics for us. great experience overall!.

Ito ang una kong solo trip sa Bintan, at si G. Surya ang aking driver. Akala ko ay shared trip ito dahil isang tao lang ang binook ko. Nang malaman kong binigyan ako ng admin ng buong kotse (7-seater) kasama ang driver/tour guide, labis akong natuwa na makipagkuwentuhan sa kanya. Napakahusay ni G. Surya sa pagmamaneho at pagrerekomenda ng mga kainan (warungs), massage center, at iba pa. Kinagabihan, na-miss ko ang Mangrove boat ride dahil lampas alas-6 na ng gabi. Ngunit matapos kong kausapin ang admin, pumayag siyang ihatid ako sa Mangrove boat ride (hiwalay ang bayad at hindi kasama sa trip) at ihatid ako sa terminal nang walang bayad sa gasolina. Siguradong irerekomenda ko ito sa aking pamilya at mga kaibigan. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Si Diki/Dicky ay napakainit ng pagtanggap at napakapalakaibigan pagdating namin. At nagkuwento siya tungkol sa Bintan. Walang tigil kaming nag-usap. Tinulungan din niya kaming kumuha ng litrato at video! Ang Blue Lake ay nakakamangha at nakakagulat!!! Mayroon ding photographer doon at napakapalakaibigan niya! Bumili rin kami ng mga souvenir at nagpa-masahe! Sobrang saya ko mula pagdating ko hanggang sa pagtatapos ng aking paglalakbay sa Bintan. Magbu-book ulit ako! IREREKOMENDA SA LAHAT!!

Ang Mangrove Tour at Fireflies Tour ay kamangha-mangha mula simula hanggang matapos. Sinundo kami nang direkta mula sa Natra Bintan Resort para sa parehong tour at ibinalik din pagkatapos, na ginagawang maayos at walang abala ang lahat. Maraming salamat sa aming gabay, si Eddy, at sa kapitan ng bangka, si Pak Ah Boon. Lubos naming nasiyahan ang daytime tour kaya't natuwa kaming makasama silang muli para sa Fireflies Tour! Ang kanilang matatalas na mata ay nakatulong sa amin na makita ang Silvered Leaf Monkeys (Lutung), isang bayawak, mangrove at green rat snakes, isang (malaking!) kingfisher, archer fish, at maraming alimango at isda. Si Eddy ay palakaibigan, may kaalaman, at marami siyang itinuro sa amin tungkol sa mangrove ecosystem, tides, wildlife, nipa palms, at maging kung paano ginawa ang natural na pulang pangkulay. Ang Fireflies Tour ay mahiwaga. Nakakita kami ng napakaraming alitaptap, dahan-dahang nakahuli ng ilan bago namin sila pinakawalan, at itinuro pa ni Eddy ang mga bituin sa malinaw na kalangitan sa gabi. Nagustuhan namin ang bawat minuto. Ligtas, nakapagtuturo, at hindi malilimutan—lubos na inirerekomenda!

Kamangha-manghang Nature Tour sa Bintan! Ang aming biyahe sa Bintan ay talagang kasiya-siya at maayos ang pagkakaplano. Ang Mangrove Tour ay payapa at nakakarelax, na nagbigay-daan sa amin upang maranasan ang kagandahan ng kalikasan habang nakakakita ng mga wildlife sa tabi ng ilog. Ito ay isang natatangi at di malilimutang karanasan. Ang pagbisita sa Blue Lake ay pantay na kahanga-hanga. Ang kristal na asul na tubig at nakamamanghang tanawin ay ginawa itong isa sa mga highlight ng aming biyahe. Ito ang perpektong lugar upang magpahinga at kumuha ng magagandang litrato. Nais din naming pasalamatan ang aming driver para sa mahusay na serbisyo. Siya ay napakabait, magalang, at propesyonal sa buong araw. Nagmaneho siya nang ligtas, dumating sa oras, at tiniyak na kami ay komportable sa buong paglalakbay. Lubos naming inirerekomenda ang tour na ito sa sinumang bibisita sa Bintan. Mahusay na serbisyo, magagandang destinasyon, at kahanga-hangang mga alaala. Tiyak na pipiliin namin muli ang tour na ito sa aming susunod na pagbisita!
