Private Day Trip from Batam to Bintan Island
This tour is built for travellers who want to see Bintan in a single day, coming from Batam.
Everything is set up for you, private transport, a driver-guide, and a full day of attractions, so you can focus on enjoying the trip without having to plan each part yourself.

Speedboats from Telaga Punggur, Batam depart every 30 minutes. We recommend heading out between 08:30 and 09:30 so you arrive in Bintan with plenty of time for the day. The crossing takes around 15 to 17 minutes.
Explore Bintan Sand Dunes
From the port, your driver takes you straight to the Sand Dunes.
The area is not large, but the scenery is noticeably different from the rest of the island. Sandy ground on a tropical island is not something you come across often, and that contrast is what makes it worth the visit.
Your driver-guide stays with you as you explore the area.
Visit Blue Lake Bintan
Blue Lake sits right next to the Sand Dunes, so there is no extra travel between the two stops.
Walk up to the elevated edge and you get a clear view down over the lake.
The turquoise water set against the surrounding greenery is what most people come to see and photograph here.
Bintan Mangrove Boat Tour
From the Sand Dunes and Blue Lake, your driver takes you to the mangrove jetty, about a 30-minute drive.
Here you board a local boat for a 60-minute cruise along the Sebung River. A local guide accompanies you and explains the ecosystem as you travel through the river and mangrove forest.
Wildlife spotted along the route can include monkeys, monitor lizards, and kingfishers, depending on daily conditions
Visit Lagoi Bay
The last stop is Lagoi Bay, located within the Bintan Resort area. Here you can head to Lagoi Bay Beach, walk around Plaza Lagoi, or just take your time exploring the area.

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!
