Bintan Travel Blogs

By many request I finally come to make my first travel blog, be warned it might perhaps be my one and only one:P (unless you all convince me otherwise;))Anyway I wanted to tell you about my best travel experience so far. In 2003 I accompanied my then still girlfriend back home to Singapore. Besides…

Bintan island is about one-hour ferry ride away from Singapore, one-and-a-half-hour flight from Jakarta, or less than 3-hour flight from Bali. The island keeps a low-key lifestyle but boasts pristine beaches along the coastline. -excerpt from my review-When you visit Bintan island in Indonesia, yo…

I might say that this is also a one-of-a-kind experience. First, I arrived late in the Ferry terminal and the bad news...all the tickets were with me! hahaha! We bought a new 1-way ticket and spend 40SGD for it (i really feel sorry!). It was fun! We had our own beach party...I was drunk...I really enjoyed it a lot...

Departing on the eighth, we arrived in Singapore the morning of the 10th.   We flew Singapore Airlines which I highly recommended.  The flight was 18hrs, but with 80 in-flight movies, video games, news, two or three meals and free drinks it seems shorter than a 12 hr flight to E…

My mum had two pieces of travel advice she kept reiterating for as long as I can remember (about 20 years).  They are: When you go to China, you must take an umbrella because the toilets have no doors.  This piece of advice is now obsolete. The next advice is "You must go to Club Med…

After last night's Insomnia, I found out that it didn't carry over to morning, and wound up missing all of the morning ferries to Bintan, Indonesia. Dragged myself out of bed, got some coffee, and headed over to the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal in time for a 2PM Ferry to Bintan.  Rode over to B…

While working as a travel agent I had won a free flight to Singapore so i decided to enjoy a few days in Singapore as well as staying at Club Med Ria Bintan. Bintan Island Information I spent 5 nights and 6 days soaking up the sun, enjoying all the activities Club Med offered as well as the food,…
