If you are in Singapore and want to spend a peaceful tour in Indonesia, then take a ferry to Bintan. Bintan resorts offer an ideal spot to unwind and get away from the demanding dull life of Singapore. Bantam resort is a 40-minute ferry ride from Singapore.
A Bintan resort is a city state of Singapore in name and has manicured lawns, luxurious hotels and beautiful seashores. The only leisure at Bintan resorts is soothing on the beaches, swimming and dabbling in water sports or playing golf. The hotels at the resort are very well built and of the highest standards.
You can get to the resorts by bus, which meets the ferry, or you can rent a car or hire a taxi. All fees are charged in Singapore dollars and they are pretty high. There is not much to do at the resorts except you are into water sports or golf. Therefore, if you want to see the rest of Bintan, then visit the town region. Here you will be able to enjoy the local Indonesian every day life, get in some low-priced shopping, and experience local food. One piece of advice about Indonesian food, it is spicy and the spices can burn your throat so be cautious when ordering Indonesian food.
The rest of Bintan is separated from the resorts by wire fences, check posts, and guards. The closest town to go would be Tanjung Pinang. This is now the capital city of Riau Province and is growing at a quick pace. It's a port, a fishing village, and has an airport. As most of the old part of the city is built on stilts, you can stride around. You can hire a boat and take a tour to other islands. Tanjung Pinang is one of the cheapest places for shopping, and you can bargain and bargain for wooden handicrafts. Some of the antique shops are worth a trip. You can buy electronic goods, cameras, watches, CDs, and DVDs here. You can bargain for any item though they are priced pretty reasonable. In fact, they are much cheaper here than in Singapore.
There are a number of Buddhist temples and mosques to visit in Tanjung Pinang and on the nearby islands. There are food parks, and the seafood has to be tasted specially the crabs. Drinks are obtainable although Indonesia is a Muslim country and the 'double kiwi', which is a local brew, is worth a try. It comes colourless like vodka or with a murky whisky-like colour.
Hotels in Tanjung Pinang are cheaper then the hotels at Bintan Resorts. In some hotels, there is an extra cost for a room with a western style toilet. You can get around the city by bus, taxi, motorcycle taxis. Tanjung Pinang is a quaint city and you will get pleasure from your time over there.
There are spas that are being developed in Bintan Resorts and they offer a nice way of calming and soothing the nerves. They are cheaper than spas in Singapore. If you do any shopping at the resorts bear in mind the money will be charged in Singapore dollars, because only these are accepted here.
On a tour in Bintan, you should tour other islands in the Riau province and see the extinct and some active but resting volcanoes. There are infrequent volcano eruptions too in Indonesia.
