Choses à faire à Bintan

It's a big island! Best way to move around is renting a car or hiring a private tour :) lots to do including relaxation. If in Tanjungpinang, get a walking tour with bintanwalkingtour.com

You have to pay to enter and avail yourself of the resort's attractions and features. The entrance fee includes the right to swim in their cool blue pool. I also tried kayaking down the mangrove river. The guide assured me there are no crocodiles since the resort makes a monthly sweep of the area. Mangroves are natural habitats of crocodiles, though so I hope no crocodiles were harmed in this process and the ones who were here before the resort was built were rehomed somewhere as sweet. I debated whether to do the kayak or not. Cost was a factor but actually it ended up being worth it for me. The river was so serene and it was an introduction to a sport that I discovered I liked. Learned a lot about mangroves, too, from the guide. Better appreciation of nature and as I said, hopefully all parties (animals included) are better off in the long haul. Lastly, the pool was cool. Not a lot of people it seems because the pool is huuuuuge and there are lifeguards. Facilities like the shower and toilet need maintenance or upgrade. Some toilets seemed unusable for a while, a couple of sinks were broken and there's no where to hook your stuff (clothes, toiletries, towel) as you take a shower

Bintan Danau Biru (Blue Lake) and Desert (Sand Danes) offer a truly breathtaking experience. Despite being artificial, the pristine Blue Lake captivates with its stunning view, making it a fantastic photo stop. The journey to this hidden gem is well worth it, as the lake's beauty leaves an indelible mark on your soul. There are also ATV cars to be rented and photos taking with real eagles. However, the hot and humid weather caused by the bright sun can be a major setback, making the heat unbearable at times. Overall, whether you're visiting solo or with loved ones, Blue Lake is a must-see destination that promises an unforgettable and rejuvenating experience in Bintan.

Definitely worth a walk around. If you're staying in Tanjung Pinang you'll still need a private taxi to get you there and wait.. perhaps best as part of a half or full day tour. Spend time checking out the different statues. They made the garden have some sweet spots as well like a cute chalet on the way to the temple, a water fountain with koi on the hilltop and great views. There are stories carved around teaching history and Buddhist principles. Go early or bring an umbrella as there's not a lot of shade but if you like learning, there's a lot to feed your curiosity in this place alone

White Sands Island, September 2018. It’s a private island in Bintan. Not easy to get there as you’ll need a few ferry and boat rides! But once you get there, you’ll fall in love with how exclusive the island is. Clear water and lotsa seashells for souvenirs hehehe… Staying in a little hut and waking up to sea view… Life is good!

这个庙正式的名称是大观音山梅峰寺，庙及佛像很大，去的时候有出家人做法事。

Trikora beach是民丹岛上著名的一座海滩，整座海滩没有经过什么商业开发，保持着原始的状态。这里既有礁石也有沙滩，还有渔民的小船，真的是一种非常浪漫的海岛景色，令人流连忘返。
