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!
