I recently made another trip Riau Island, Bintan. This eventually my 3rd time been to Bintan for holiday and other purposes. If you ever seen my post previously about travel to Batam, the ferry terminal you should take to Bintan is Tanah Merah ferry terminal, not Harbourfront Terminal. There are not many things in this terminal as there are only about 2 eateries located at near entry gate and exit gate.
You may find many resorts in Bintan and there are resorts just few minutes away from the ferry terminal in Bintan (Bandar Bentan Telani Terminal). Apparently the resort I chosen is Bintan Agro Resort which take another 45 mins - 1 hour to reach there. The resort provided pick-up transportation from ferry terminal, so please check with the resort and make the arrangement.
Bintan resort ferry cost me $66 for return ticket. Yeah...it is more expensive than ferry to Batam since Bintan resort became tourist attraction for many people who stay in Singapore, either for family holiday or just play a golf there. You may not be surprised to see all the charges rate is based on Singapore dollar.
