As a one-stop shop for all your shopping needs, Plaza Lagoi boasts more than 60 shops across various categories such as <\/span>food<\/span><\/a>, shopping and <\/span>spa<\/span><\/a> services. If you enjoy shopping for <\/span>apparel <\/span><\/a>like I do, you\u2019ll be glad, as most of the shops in Plaza Lagoi are known for selling <\/span>clothing<\/span><\/a> and souvenirs. Nonetheless, there is still a good handful of massage parlours if you need a relaxing massage after a jam-packed day of activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the weekends, don\u2019t miss out on the Kampong Peranakan Bazaar, a true highlight of the area!

Planning to surprise your partner? This may be one of the most romantic things to do in Bintan at night! Sign up for a boat tour down the winding Sebung River to marvel at the towering mangroves. Unlike most, these tours are open till nighttime, which I\u2019d recommend for the best viewing experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

While listening to the knowledgeable tour guides, keep your eyes peeled for various flora and fauna, including kingfishers and mud lobsters. Against the romantic backdrop of the starry night sky, see if you can spot some fireflies!

Even if you aren\u2019t planning to visit the mangroves anytime soon, don\u2019t miss out on the fresh seafood at The Kelong Seafood Restaurant! As the restaurant is built on stilts atop the sea, enjoy the balmy sea breeze and panoramic views as you dig into your food. This stunning backdrop also makes for great photos, so snap away with the sunset in the background.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fan-favourites include the Black Pepper Crab, Salted Egg Honey Lobster and Stir-fried Butter Prawns, paired with the tangy Thai sweet chilli sauce offered by the restaurant. Since the food is served <\/span>tze-char<\/span><\/i> style, this is one of the best Bintan activities if you\u2019re travelling with a big group!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is one of the most family-friendly things to do in Bintan to interest the kiddos by learning more about Indonesia\u2019s rich natural heritage! Within this sanctuary, meet endangered animals such as Estuarine crocodiles and vultures, both once part of the illegal pet trade and exotic meat market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After marvelling at the animals, take a relaxing stroll in the Eco Farm to observe the crop plantations (which we rarely see in Singapore)! From tropical fruits like <\/span>bananas<\/span><\/a>, to gorgeous <\/span>lavender<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>sunflower<\/span><\/a> patches, this is a great place for an #OOTD picture to spice up your Instagram feed. To conclude your tour, enjoy a comforting glass of <\/span>ginger tea<\/span><\/a> and get a bite of Rujak, a refreshing <\/span>salad<\/span><\/a> consisting of the freshest ingredients and a thick, savoury sauce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re there, thrill-seekers can enjoy an exhilarating ATV ride or a wakeboarding session. If that doesn\u2019t interest you, spend a slow day lazing in the pool or cruising around the lagoon\u2019s crystal-clear waters in a water tricycle. End your day of fun by visiting the various eateries and retail options in the area. With so much to do, it\u2019s no wonder that visiting Chill Cove is one of the most popular things to do in Bintan for families!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nature lovers will be sure to enjoy an invigorating, early morning hike on Mount Bintan. Standing at 350m, Mount Bintan is the tallest summit of Bintan, making it great for those who crave a challenge even while on holiday! If you\u2019re a beginner to hiking like me, don\u2019t feel daunted, as the uncomplicated terrain makes it a manageable hike that can be completed within two to four hours based on your hiking speed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While hiking, look out for native fauna like silver leaf monkeys and sunbirds, as well as seasonal fruits like <\/span>durian <\/span><\/a>and <\/span>mangosteen<\/span><\/a> growing on the trees. Apart from the stunning 360-degree view from the peak, reward yourself with a dip at Kolam Puteri after the hike. Also known as the Princess\u2019s Pool, folklore claims the water will shower you with good luck and blessings! Pro tip – remember to wear comfortable covered <\/span>shoes<\/span><\/a>, as the slopes are known to be slippery after it rains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the must-visit Bintan attractions is the 500 Lohan Temple. Just a twenty-minute drive from the Tanjung Pinang Ferry Terminal, this temple is best known for its detailed, life-sized stone arhat statues. Each of the five hundred statues has unique and detailed carvings of their facial expressions and physiques. Fascinating!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those with a keen eye may spot famous characters like Tripataka from Journey To The West, and Guan Gong from Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This Buddhist place of worship is also known for its calming atmosphere as it\u2019s surrounded by vast rice fields. If you\u2019d like to further immerse yourself in the tranquillity, <\/span>drinks<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>snacks<\/span><\/a> are also available for purchase to refresh yourself before you wander around the rest of the temple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking for photo spots for your next Instagram post? This is one of the best things to do in Bintan, and you can\u2019t leave without taking a photo with the icon of Tanjung Pinang – the sea snail building! A sea snail that\u2019s typically boiled or steamed and enjoyed with various savoury <\/span>sauces<\/span><\/a>, the gonggong is a local delicacy in Bintan that you can\u2019t leave without trying. I\u2019d recommend visiting during sunrise or sunset hours to catch the best views at the nearby Laman Boenda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re satisfied with your photos, explore other attractions in Tanjung Pinang, such as the nearby wet market or the night markets in Rimba Jaya! Still undecided?

If you love the water like I do, head to Lagoi Bay for an unforgettable snorkelling experience! Known for its magnificent marine life, a snorkelling tour may be one of the best and most unforgettable things to do in Bintan to experience the island\u2019s diverse ecosystem and admire the Bintan coastline from a whole new perspective!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I previously thought that <\/span>snorkelling <\/span><\/a>was dangerous, but I realised that I\u2019ve been mistaken! If you\u2019re feeling similarly apprehensive, fret not, as experienced guides will be present to keep you safe. Once you\u2019re treading comfortably in the water, gather a school of small fish to take a photo with. I guarantee that this will be one of your most memorable activities in Bintan!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Immerse yourself in Bintan\u2019s cultural heritage by taking a trip to Penyengat Island, a small island located just a stone\u2019s throw away from Tanjung Pinang. There, you\u2019ll find an abundance of historical relics and colourful buildings to snap some photographs with. These include Sultan Riau Great Mosque, the Royal Cemetery and Bukit Kursi. It\u2019s also rumoured that a large portion of the mosque was made with egg whites – I\u2019d like to check that out myself!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from the tour, get hands-on with cultural activities such as making Tanjak, the traditional Malay headgear for men. Other than that, you\u2019ll also get the opportunity to try on traditional Malay attire. With so many cultural experiences to explore at your own pace, a day trip to Penyengat Island may be one of the best things to do in Bintan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to get to Bintan Island from Singapore?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

To reach Bintan Island, take a ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in Singapore to either Bandar Bentan Telani (BBT) Ferry Terminal or Tanjung Pinang Ferry Terminal. The prices for both travelling methods are comparable at around $90 per pax for a round trip. The main difference between the two is the travelling duration \u2013 the former takes around an hour, whereas the latter takes close to double.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To secure your tickets to the BBT Ferry Terminal, make sure to book early as tickets get snapped up fast. Most Bintan resorts provide complimentary shuttle services to and from the BBT Ferry terminal, so I\u2019d recommend that option. To reach the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, take SBS Bus 35 or board a $5 shuttle straight from Changi Airport.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to get around Bintan Island?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ride-hailing services are relatively inaccessible in most parts of Bintan Island. For a fuss-free travelling experience between attractions, hire a private taxi or rent a car with a driver in advance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the drivers are highly experienced and may even provide you with local recommendations on things to do in Bintan for the best experience. Check with the staff at your accommodation, as most Bintan resorts can assist with booking a private car.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
