My memory flies to several years ago. Suddenly it stops in 2017 memories, I have spent my time to travel to Bintan Island. Bintan is really special for me, because this is first time for me to explore "mini" beautiful Island. I will tell you my own stories on there and how I fall in love with Bintan land.
Bintan Island is located on Riau Archipelago as a part of Riau Province. If you familiar with Batam Island, the distance between them just ten kilometres and also close to Singapore (45-50 minutes trip by boat). I called them the triangle of vacation.
Overall, Bintan land has some unique places to visit both in land and water tour spot. In one day, I can explore four places.
1.Gurun Pasir Busung

Can you imagine that Indonesia has sand dunes? I couldn't imagine it before. If you see and learn about geographic location, Bintan is the perfect tropical area with beaches around the land. Amazing! This place has magic to attract the tourist. I feel that I am in the middle east desert. You'll see the stretch of desert panorama with the total 6000 hectares area, unfortunately without camel in there.
The perfect combination of white, yellow and pale brown of sand makes me want to sing "A whole new world" loudly. Come on, Arabian nights is so close, let's call the magic carpet. If you want to go to Bintan, I strongly recommend you visit Gurun Pasir Busung, to feel the Indonesian desert with the "taste" of Arabian desert. The Gurun Pasir Busung is located in Dusun Busung, Kecamatan Tanjung Uban, it takes about 45 minutes land trip from Raja Haji Fisabilillah Airport or Tanjung Pinang Port.
2.Telaga Biru
