| Introduction
Your holiday at Bintan Resorts will not be complete without experiencing some
of our local nature and
heritage
tours or exciting adventure attractions. Bintan
Resorts tours take you deep into the tropical rainforest or back in time
to Bintans glorious royal past or right into the villages to meet the locals
and experience their simple way of life. Our
full day 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,
our 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!
At Bintan
Resorts, nature lovers are in for a real treat. Our ever popular 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 our 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 our 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
our go kart track or ATVing through one of our jungle trails. So
whether your interest is natural or cultural heritage or high speed and high energy
thrills, we have the experience to complement your beach, golf and spa stay in
Bintan Resorts! |
