Top Bintan Island Walking Tours

The Bintan Sand Dunes is a former mining site that looks like a desert in the middle of Bintan Island. With a private guide, visit the sandy hills that are adjacent to a turquoise lake for an Instagrammable adventure in Indonesia. Then, head to the town of Tanjung Uban to explore and visit the local temple.

The Bintan Desert, an area of artificial sand dunes, is a favorite Bintan photo stop. See this and more without the self-drive stress on this private guided tour, including transfers direct from Lagoi hotels or the Bandar Bentan Telani ferry terminal. See the dunes, a brilliant blue lake, a Chinese temple, and a fruit store, and enjoy a set seafood lunch at a kelong restaurant built out over the water.

Why This Experience is Unique This activity is the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Unlike standard sightseeing tours, you’ll not only explore the breathtaking Blue Lake and desert-like sand dunes of Bintan—a rare and photogenic landscape—but also end your journey with a rejuvenating full-body massage at D’Bintan Salon Day Spa, one of the island’s trusted wellness centers. Travelers love this combination because it allows them to experience the beauty of nature and then fully unwind, making it an unforgettable day in Bintan.

Take some time out for yourself while traveling in Indonesia with a massage and spa experience. Soothe your body and mind with a private 60-minute treatment, in which you can choose from an Indonesian or Thai-style massage or a body scrub. Hotel transfers are included, so all you need to do is show up then lie down and relax.

See Bintan and the surrounding Indonesian countryside in comfort in a private, chauffeured vehicle. Explore the city or head out to the coast on a trip where you choose the route and the destination—or let your driver take the lead and discover hidden gems like a local. Use your taxi as an airport transfer, or travel to other parts of the island without having to navigate confusing local buses.

Mangrove forests are one of earth’s most fascinating and important ecosystems, and Bintan’s Sebung River hosts macaques, monitor lizards, mangrove snakes, and more. Skip the hassle of arranging transport, tickets, and boat rides independently and relax with this convenient package that includes entry, a private boat and guide, and transfers from the ferry port or most Bintan hotels.
