- 4.44.7/59 Review"Bintan Danau Biru (Blue Lake) and Desert (Sand Danes) offer a truly breathtaking experience. Despite being artificial, the pristine Blue Lake captivates with its stunning view, making it a fantastic photo stop. The journey to this hidden gem is well worth it, as the lake's beauty leaves an indelible mark on your soul. There are also ATV cars to be rented and photos taking with real eagles. However, the hot and humid weather caused by the bright sun can be a major setback, making the heat unbearable at times. Overall, whether you're visiting solo or with loved ones, Blue Lake is a must-see destination that promises an unforgettable and rejuvenating experience in Bintan."Bintan>100km from downtownHighlights: The Golden Sand Dunes were places where gold was mined during the colonial era of Indonesia. After a long period of time, the mud and depressions dug up by the gold rush have become a beautiful landscape. If Bintan Island is known as "a place more secluded than heaven, a pure land more blissful than the world", then "Golden Sand Dunes" must be a more primitive natural environment and a slightly commercial embodiment. The peculiar thing about the golden dunes is that the dunes change color with the refraction of sunlight. Looking around, it looks like a golden desert. The rolling sand dunes are dotted with small lakes one by one. The lake water is blue, like emeralds embedded in the dunes.Show Less

Prices there are generally affordable."Batam>100km from downtownHighlights: Batam, officially Batam City, is the largest city in the province of Riau Islands, Indonesia. The city administrative area covers three main islands of Batam, Rempang, and Galang, as well as Bulang to the west and several smaller islands. Batam Island is the core urban and industrial zone, while both Rempang Island and Galang Island maintain their rural character and low-density population; they are connected to Batam Island by short bridges. Bulang Island and the islands to its north forming Belakang Padang District lie to the west of Batam Island but are also administratively within the city. Batam is an industrial boomtown, an emerging transport hub, and part of a free trade zone in the Indonesia–Malaysia–Singapore Growth Triangle, located 20 km off Singapore's south coast.Show Less

But once you get there, you’ll fall in love with how exclusive the island is. Clear water and lotsa seashells for souvenirs hehehe… Staying in a little hut and waking up to sea view… Life is good!"Bintan.Trikora Beach>100km from downtownNo.1 of Water Fun Attractions in Riau IslandsHighlights: Baisha Island is only 15 minutes away from the hot spring hotel.
