Itinerary
The “Sleeping Buddha” statue is located at the back of the Dharma Shanti Temple. This statue was designed by Dedi Purnomo, an artist from Banyuwangi. The statue, which took four months to build, is now an alternative religious tourism location in Bintan.
The Bintan Desert is also known as the Busung Desert. This desert has white sand that will sparkle when exposed to the reflection of the sun. Very similar to the hilly desert in Middle Eastern countries.
The next interesting tourist spot on Bintan Island is Blue Lake. Before becoming a popular tourist attraction, Blue Lake was actually a sand mining site on Bintan Island. However, due to mining, this place slowly formed a lake with very clear water.
One of the places of worship that is a tourist destination is the Ksitigrabha Bodhisattva Temple, also known as the Thousand Faces Statue Temple.

Very nice tour with helpful driver who took us around places in Bintan with flexibility to accommodate family needs, knowledge about good photo spots and services at the different places. Bintan is more than just the beach resorts.
This was a wonderful tour Saw many different things Feels like we saw the whole island well worth the time
Didi was a warm and knowledgeable tour guide who made every effort to make sure I was comfortable. Whilst he was apologetic about his English ability, he was easy to understand. He is accomodating in taking photos and spending longer at some spots and shorter at others according to preference. Car was clean, cool and he was a safe driver. I would recommend this tour to others. It hits the main attractions. Natalie/ Australia
Thank you so much for the lovely review, Natalie! We're delighted to hear that you had such a comfortable and customizable experience with Didi. He always strives to ensure our guests can explore at their own pace, and we will definitely pass along your kind words to him—especially about his English and safe driving! We appreciate you recommending our tour, and we hope to welcome you back to Indonesia for another adventure in the future. Safe travels back to Australia!
The agency should have ordered, it rained a lot and it was a holiday (which I didn’t know), so shopping excluded and the beach too. So all outdoor activities bof. The guide dropped us off at a mall where everything was closed, no interest. He put on the air conditioner and we got very cold.:( The guide was kind but didn’t know much about what we were visiting so a shame. The agency should have offered to postpone. Too bad. What is worth a look is just the 500 statues. You don't have to. So disappointed.
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, the weather conditions on that day were beyond our control. The heavy rain and the public holiday situation did affect several outdoor activities, including shopping and beach visits, which we understand led to disappointment. We are truly sorry that this was not communicated more clearly in advance and that the option to reschedule was not offered. We appreciate your kind words about our guide’s friendliness, and we also take note of your comments regarding the explanation during the tour. This is valuable feedback for us to improve our service and guide training going forward. We also apologize for the discomfort caused by the air conditioning during the trip. Your feedback is very important to us, and we regret that the experience was not as enjoyable as it should have been. We hope there will be an opportunity in the future to welcome you again under better weather conditions and provide a much more satisfying experience. Kind regards,
I was met at the ferry terminal when I arrived and we drove to the furthest spot first and worked our way back. We visited 3 temples, the blue lake, stopped for lunch at a restaurant nearby followed by a coffee stop. I was given the option for extras too, so we went to the mangroves where I was able to pay for a last minute tour. Overall a very good experience - would definitely recommend. Well worth the money!
This was a great experience. I was traveling solo. My guide Dedi (hope I wrote it right) answered every question I could think of about Indonesia. I learned quite a bit. His English was fine. I could understand everything he was saying. The vast majority of people on Bintan can’t speak English at all, or have very limited skills, so it was nice to have a local to talk to. I’m happy I chose this activity and was able to see the real island outside of the resort areas. The temples and the lake are beautiful. I had a great seafood lunch at a quality establishment. Dedi took great photos, many of which I will treasure. The tour is worth every penny and is a great value. Make sure to bring the local currency like I did. All the transactions (souvenirs, lunch, optional experiences at the lake) are easy when you do. I highly recommend this tour!
Take local currency for the market and lake . No contactless or Singapore dollars taken. Also an umbrella!!
They had a private driver just for me to drive around Bintan Island. He was there waiting for me in the ferry station in Bintan and was very friendly, polite and professional. Bintan has several interesting places to visit like buddha temples, the sand dunes and blue lagoon, beautiful beaches.
Our guide was extremely professional and helped us through a lot of local retail transactions that otherwise may have been challenging.
Full-day guided tour. Very friendly driver who made us discover much of the island. The explanations were clear. Comfortable Car Immaculate Service
