So much more than what we expected! - My partner and I did the Bintan Full day tour, and had an amazing time. Sigit was so helpful with setting us up and our driver Budi was so friendly... read more and shared lots of tips with us. His driving was also excellent. The choice of activities is very thoughtful, we went to an eco-friendly mangrove area on boat where the lovely staff told us how they plant trees and help clean the river. Then visited a coffee plantation and honey farm which was very interesting (and the honey is amazing!). We also saw the sand dunes and blue lake, which look exactly like in the pictures - stunning! And finally, the 500 Lohan Temple was a real highlight. Views around the temple, which is on a hill, and the temple itself is breathtaking. We had a bit of time left and went to a beach too. The water was beautiful and warm. We were pampered throughout the trip, with umbrella for rain and sun, water bottles, and delicious banana cakes. Highly recommend, it's so worth it - it made us want to come back to see more of Bintan!

Blue Lakes, Mangrove Kayaking, Fireflies Tour - My friend and I had a wonderful time exploring Bintan with our guide, Dani. Our trip was completely custom-made thanks to quick and easy communication with Sigit via Whatsapp. Even... read more though we planned our trip just days before, Sigit always responded promptly and professionally. Sigit gave us extremely detailed instructions to navigate speedboat travel from Batam to Bintan, and we had a smooth time finding Dani at the busy port. Dani took us to the Blue Lake, which was stunning, and lunch at a local seafood restaurant. We got to kayak through mangroves with Ade from Treasure Island, who was a pleasure to chat with. Our tour included day passes to Treasure Island, so there was time to enjoy their pool! Lastly, we did the nighttime fireflies tour, which was absolutely beautiful. We had quite a long day, and Dani was kind enough to drive us to pick up some dinner before dropping us off at our hotel. Dani is such a great tour guide; his driving was smooth, and we learned so much about Bintan from him. He was happy to answer all of our questions thoroughly! I am so thankful that BTG was such a great company to work with for my first time planning a trip!
