Below are the Top 5 Places to Visit during a Bintan day trip.
And if you already have a list or want to adjust your itinerary, just tell BTG , we’ll arrange everything for you.
1. Visit the Sleeping Buddha in Tanjung Uban
Your trip starts almost immediately.
The Sleeping Buddha Temple is only 5 minutes from Tanjung Uban Port, calm, clean, and very easy to explore.
Take a short walk, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, and capture a few photos of the beautiful reclining Buddha.
You’ll only need 10–15 minutes, perfect as a simple warm-up before exploring the rest of Bintan.
2. Bintan Sand Dunes – Mini Desert for Photos
About 17 minutes from the temple, you’ll reach the Bintan Sand Dunes — a landscape that looks like a small desert.
It’s great for photos, short walks, and light exploration.
Optional activities are also available, such as:
ATV rides
Eagle photo sessions
Local photographers
Small attractions by local vendors
A unique and popular stop, especially for travellers who love photography.
3. Visit Blue Lake Bintan
Next stop is Blue Lake Bintan, located in the same area as the Sand Dunes.
There are several lakes here, but one of them stands out with very bright blue water, perfect for photos, especially if you take a picture with the eagle.
It only takes a short walk to reach the main viewpoint.
4. Visit Lagoi Bay Area
From Blue Lake, it takes about 35 minutes to reach the Lagoi Bay area.
Everything here is close and easy to explore, including:
Lagoi Bay Beach – clean, relaxing, with kayak and jetski options
Plaza Lagoi – small shops, weekend stalls, and occasional events
Lagoi Bay Lake – calm spot for photos and a short walk
Most travellers spend 1 to 1.5 hours here, but you can stay longer if you want to chill at the beach or stop for a drink at a café.
With BTG, the timing is flexible, we never rush guests, and we help keep the day smooth and comfortable.
5. Visit Treasure Bay Bintan
Your last stop is Treasure Bay, around 15 minutes from Lagoi Bay.
This area is known for its large man-made lagoon, a nice place to walk around, take photos, or just relax.
Optional activities are also available if you want something more fun.
With resorts like The Anmon and Natra Bintan nearby, the area feels lively and welcoming — a perfect way to end your Bintan day trip.
