About this experience

- Experience a journey into a surreal, desert-like landscape on a Bintan day trip to the Sand Dunes and Blue Lake. This half-day tour offers a stunning contrast to the island's tropical beaches, taking you to a former sand mining site that has transformed into a photographer's paradise.

Here's what makes this day trip an exciting and accurate adventure:

- A "Desert" Oasis: Step onto the sprawling sand dunes, a surprisingly Saharan-like landscape right in the middle of a tropical island. The dunes, with their varying shades of white, gold, and light brown, are a result of years of mining and are perfect for capturing unique, "Instagram-worthy" photos.

- The Luminous Blue Lake: As if the dunes weren't enough, you'll find a magnificent, sapphire-colored lake nestled among them. This oasis, created by rainwater filling the old mining pits, is a striking visual masterpiece. The shimmering blue water creates a beautiful, dreamlike backdrop against the rugged sand.
