5 Top Things to Do in Bintan on a Day Trip from Batam
Planning a day trip from Batam to Bintan often feels confusing. Many travellers are unsure which ferry to take, what time to go, and which places are realistic to visit in just one day.
With the right route and itinerary, a Bintan day trip can be smooth and enjoyable.
The easiest option is taking the 08:30–09:00 fast boat from Telaga Punggur Ferry Terminal to Tanjung Uban Port,
with a travel time of only around 15 minutes, giving you more time to explore.

We know what works best for a short visit and how to make the most of your time on the island.
Below are the Top 5 Places to Visit on a Bintan day trip from Batam.
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
A unique and popular stop, especially for travellers who love photography.
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
3. Visit Blue Lake Bintan
It only takes a short walk to reach the main viewpoint.
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.
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.
