South
Bintan Heritage Tour gives a comprehensive over view
of the heritage and life style of the island. Traveling
by bus, boat and even by trishaw the tour takes you
to the trading port of Tanjung Pinang, the Chinese Settlement
of Senggarrang and the magical and historic island of
Penyengat.
For those of you more pressed for
time but still interested in seeing the local lifestyle,
the Tanjung Uban Tour takes you to the nearest small
town to the resort and the Sri Bintan Kampong Eco Tour
takes you to one of the traditional villages where you
can experience the Bintan village life!
Nature lovers are in for a real treat.
The Mangrove Discovery Tour has been awarded a Pacific
Asia Travel Association Gold Award for Eco Tourism related
products in 2003. The day tour goes by boat up the Sebung
river giving a first hand view of the flora and fauna
of the mangrove while your expert guide educates you
on the value and uses of the mangrove. The night version
is a serene experience of the mangrove highlighted by
fireflies!
For those who prefer a more hands on
experience in the mangrove, try out the Traditional
Fishing Tour where guests can ride authentic sampans
with fishermen and fish using their traditional traps
(boo boos) and nets. For the more energetic and adventuresome
can try the Gunung Bintan Adventure Trek which takes
you to the top of the 340m mountain that has been the
navigational point of sailors for centuries.
How about getting up close and personal
with some gentle giants of Sumatra? Try visiting the
Bintan Elephant Park and enjoy the entertaining performance
or go for a short trek on elephant back.
And for those looking for a high energy
and high speed excitement try go karting at the go kart
track or ATVing through one of our jungle trails.
GOLF
Golfing in Bintan is unlike golfing elsewhere. Four
great golf courses, designed by golfing luminaries,
Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ian Baker-Finch and Greg
Norman, offer a unique golfing experience for golfers
from beginners to professionals.
Nestled within the rain forest, rolling fairways on
hill sides, and with many holes skirting the white-sand
beaches of Bintan Resorts, golfers cannot be blamed
for being distracted by the serenity of the rain forest
lining the fairways and the beautiful ocean view each
time they step up on the tee box to take a shot.
SPAS
The spas in Bintan offer a wide range of experiences
from ancient Asian and traditional Javanese massages
to modern western therapies and natural beauty care
that entice and perk up the senses which many a discerning
guest should make a point not to miss. Experience the
assortment of treatments that will lift you out of your
stressful and busy world into one of inner peace, serene
relaxation and tranquility.
Each spa bears a unique and unmistakable
identity and culture of its own.
