Amazing! - We had an amazing experience! Our guide customized our 4 hours just for us - he took us directly to Blue Lake, then to the Lagoi Bay beach and then to a massage!

Mesmerizing beauty - As you reach "Busung" & park your car, you feel sand dunes are just ok looking. But as you reach inside, They feel good with actually gravel & pebbles ( not exactly sand)
You start taking pictures. You go further inside, you start forgetting the heat of the sun
The moment you reach the "Blue Lake" you are awestruck, mesmerized & what not.
You go on taking pictures..... you dont want to leave the place !!!
Possible Activities :-
Pic with eagle
Quad biking
Boat (lazy romantic) 20 min trip in the lake
Run up & down the dunes
Cannot swim in the lake
Small chips / snacks & colddrink counters near the parking

Beautiful romantic spot followed by delicious authentic kelong lunch - Our guide Rio is knowledgable and brought us to the best photo spots that are away from the crowd. Lunch was real kelong seafood that’s also frequented by locals away from the tourist area. Will definitely call on Rio again when I go back to Bintan for my holiday.

Amazing Desert in Bintan - We had an awesome fruitful day trip today! Love this instagramable oasis lake with desert backdrop. I just immersed myself here for the day. The lunch at Kelong was yummy too.

100% Recommend - This was a truly excellent tour. I managed to fit in so much in the half a day I visited Bintan. I don’t think I would have been able to do so much otherwise Rio was a brilliant guide who took me to lots of local places and was very flexible with what I wanted to do. He went out of his way to make sure I had a good time. Thank you so much! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone travelling to Bintan- the sand dunes and blue lakes are worth a visit!

Picturesque location! - I was awed by the picturesque view of the place. Looking at the blue lake, you feel as if you are in another dimension. Insta-worthy indeed!
If you are visiting, bring an umbrella and sunshade or sun hat as the weather is very hot (thus the name dune, I guess). Sun screen lotion would help too.

BTP excellent classic service - Mr Rio is very prompt and reliable in his service. His efficient service started way before we arrive into Bintan.
His What’s apps replies were never late. He is very accommodating towards our last minute request. Always ready to provide info with photos on his WA replies.
Mr Devis is a cheerful and helpful driver and we were glad to have him for 2days. Couldn’t find any flaws in their service. We were confirmed by our concierge that Mr Devis was already in their premises upon our check in. No time was wasted or needed In calling to check on it’s driver.
Mr Devis also proved to be a good photographer who assisted to take our group photos. We were truly lucky to have him driving us for our 2days tour.
10 Thumbs up to BTP From our group.

Wonderful sight of the sand dunes & blue lakes - Pleasant trip throughout with help of the friendly owner for the arrangement and the guide for the trip, Andi. The sand dunes and blue lakes are definitely the highlight of our trip and ended with nice lunch at kelong.
Definitely good way to spend your half day at Bintan if you have tight schedule.
