Indonesia - Bintan

Bintan Lagoon Resort

 
Overlooking South China Sea, this resort provides wonderful indoor and outdoor activities for all ages.
It is a short distance away from Singapore and a quick getaway to relax and rejuvenate.
We started from home after breakfast and reached Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal by 10 am. After a smooth check-in, we took a stroll around the terminal and found that we had freshly made mouth-watering breakfast options there!
The terminal is small but comfortable. Unless you buy some food or drinks, there are limited seats to sit and wait for the ferry.

We had fantastic time strolling on the beach leisurely soaking in on the early sun as it rose on the horizon, going on a firefly watch on a boat deep into the forest river, and much more.

Here are some pictures and links to plan your trip.
