From Singapore to Bintan Island (Indonesia). Bintan Island Indonesia Indonesian customs officer asks a standard question

The first easiest way to get to Tioman Island is by plane. The airport here is located next to the village of Tekek. Directly opposite the customs complex and pier. From here you can book a boat to go to other local villages. Berjaya Air is the sole operator of the small Tekek airstrip. You can buy tickets on their website - berjaya-air.com. This airline uses Subang airports in the capital of Malaysia and the Changi Budget Terminal you need, which is located in Singapore. Berjaya Air's small planes fly daily during the peak tourist season or several times a week during the off-season. Please note that the maximum weight of transported baggage, taking into account the dimensions of the aircraft, is only 10 kg. Even excess baggage fees are not guaranteed, but depend on how many passengers are checked in for a particular flight. The flight from Singapore lasts about 35 minutes.

The second way to get to Tioman is by bus and ferry. The starting point for the trip is the city of Mersing, in the west of the state of Johor. The usual route for tourists is to first take a bus to Mersing and then wait for the ferry to the island. Please note that during the monsoon season (November to February) ferry service times are significantly longer. But at least one trip is guaranteed every day. In the event of extremely bad weather conditions, ferry trips may be canceled for several days in a row. But this happens extremely rarely.

You can also take a direct bus from Singapore (the bus terminal is located on Queen Street, the journey takes 4 hours) to get to Mersing. Bus tickets can be purchased online at eticketing.easibook.com. Mersing Bus Terminal is located less than 1 km from the ferry pier. When leaving the bus terminal, immediately turn right and walk past the stadium to the ferry terminal.

The largest ferry operator from Mersing to Tioman is Bluewater Express. The journey on the Bluewater Express ferry takes about 2 hours. Ferries make several stops on the island, from village to village, from south to north. The route is as follows. You can leave where you planned to stay. During the tourist season, the ferry makes at least three trips per day from 08:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. You can buy tickets in advance on the Tioman Ferry official website - tiomanferry.com.

If you missed the ferry and arrived at the pier in the afternoon, you will have to stay in Mersing. You can go shopping in this city at this time. By the way, not far from the pier there is a pleasant food court serving Malay cuisine, which is open 24 hours a day.

Ferries to Tioman also depart from Tanjung Gemuk pier, 35 km north of Mersing, but only if you are traveling during the tourist season.

You can also get around Tioman with a rented car. This island is quite large - about 40 km long and more than 10 km wide. But the problem is that good roads there is practically none here. Essentially, there are only two normal roads. One of them goes through Tekek past the airport directly to the Berjaya Tioman Resorts. The construction of another road was started by the Japanese military during World War II, but it was completed only recently. This road runs through the center of the island from the village of Tekek, on the west coast, to Juar, on the east coast. In Tekek you can just rent a car and drive it from west coast to the east along this road. In other places there are practically no roads.

You can also travel by boat. This is the most cheap way get from one village to another. Boats charge between RM20 and RM60 per trip for their services. The amount depends on the distance. For example, for a boat trip from Salang to Teket you will pay about 30 ringgit, and from Salang to Juara about 60 -100 ringgit. One trip on this boat from the West Coast to east coast will already cost at least 150 ringgit. However, if there are several passengers, the fare price will be shared among all. At night, be prepared to pay double the tariff.

During one trip, we invite you to relax in three Asian countries at once - mysterious Indonesia, amazing Malaysia and futuristic Singapore with its sights. As part of the program, you will visit the island of Java and a tour to the world's largest Buddhist complex Borobudur and the famous Hindu temple Prambanan, exploring the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur from the highest point in the city, a great beach holiday on Bintan Island and the opportunity to see the famous landmarks and cutting-edge buildings of Singapore.

The Indonesian language, spoken throughout Indonesia, is modeled after the Malay language, which originates from Riau in Sumatra and the Riau Islands. In fact, Riau Malay is considered the purest form of the Malay language, and tourists from Malaysia will find that the Malay spoken here is very similar to Indonesian Malay, which is a version of Malay.

English is spoken only in the resorts of Bintan and, to a lesser extent, in the resorts of Trikora.

Chinese people living in Indonesia speak Mandarin Chinese. Also, most people understand the Chaoshan dialect.

By ferry

Most likely you will arrive by ship. Most international travelers come from Singapore and Johor Bahru. Bintan is the largest inland seaport on the Riau Islands and also the port of the largest passenger shipping company in Indonesia - Pelni. A return ticket costs around S$50, but it's worth it.

Make sure you ride on an open deck (most local residents prefer air-conditioned cabins). Not far from Singapore there are hundreds and hundreds of oil tankers, cargo ships and huge container ships from all over the world literally fill the horizon.

Later, in the South China Sea, you will come across many small islands, most of which seem uninhabited, with mysterious coastlines jungle and dark volcanoes in the background. Just use your imagination and think about the pirates who were hiding on those islands for centuries (and still are), or how the contestants on the reality TV show "Survivor" would survive on such an island full of huge pythons in the jungle.

Bintan has several passenger ports. The most famous is in Tanjung Pinang, where most of the short-distance inter-island ferries from Singapore and Johor Bahru dock. Other ferry terminals are at Tanjung Uban, Kijang (where Pelni boats dock), and Teluk Sebung, which serves the Bintan resort area on the northern part of the island.

Usually you can choose from three options: 7.00, 00.30, 15.30. The latter is often canceled due to lack of passengers, but is said to be due to the weather.

Main attractions. What to see

Food. What to try

Seafood in Bintan is fresh and inexpensive (around SGD 3 - 7) and Tanjung Pinang has many restaurants, although they tend to have casual diners and minimal or tacky decorations. However, the service is good and the waiters are friendly. They don't always have an English menu, so check out the phrasebook and learn the basics. Also remember that the term “vegetarian” is understood differently here, so if you are a strict vegetarian, make sure you mention that the food should not contain meat.

Cleanliness can sometimes be an issue, but restaurants here depend on repeat visits from customers, so they usually do their best to make sure you enjoy your stay.

Drinks

Drink bottled water. Apart from that in 4 and 5 star hotels, tap water is undrinkable.

Fresh coconut juice can be bought almost everywhere, if suddenly it is not available in your holiday destination.

Since the local population is mostly Muslim and usually does not drink alcohol, beer and wine can not be found in every store, but concierges in large shopping centers and hotels can tell you where to buy them.

Safety. What to watch out for

Tanjung Pinang has a partly deserved bad reputation, but it's still better than it used to be. Don't carry it with you large number cash and do not show it everywhere, do not get into unfamiliar taxis (especially those whose drivers call at the pier).

Local residents will readily support you, but be prepared for the fact that they will increase the price and take some of it for themselves. However, since this portion of the money is not very large, they are still good, friendly and knowledgeable guides.

Things to do

Go to Trikora Beach. It is very beautiful there and there are many opportunities for water sports.

In the Sumpat area you can find wild beaches.

There is also tropical forests, and although there are fewer of them due to development, they are still majestic and beautiful.

Bintan has beautiful beaches, although the water tends to be murky due to its proximity to Singapore, the shipping lanes and the factories of Batam. Bintan's resorts are famous for golf, and Trikor has cheap water sports.

You can also go island hopping from the main port. A trip to the nearby island from Tajung Pinang will cost you only 5 - 10 Singapore dollars.
