Bintan Mangrove & Fireflies Tour
Begin your journey in the late afternoon with a relaxing 60-minute boat ride along the Sebung River.
As you move through the mangroves, you’ll often see local wildlife such as monkeys, kingfishers, and monitor lizards in their natural environment, especially in the quieter sections of the river.
After sunset, continue with a 45–55 minute boat ride along the same river as the atmosphere changes completely.
In many evenings, fireflies can be seen lighting up the mangrove trees, creating a calm and almost unreal night experience on the water.
The tour includes all arrangements, including private round-trip land transfers from your hotel lobby, so everything is handled smoothly and you can simply enjoy the journey from start to finish.
