This added tour will provide a new alternative for exploring the nearby island resort at the weekend when hotel room rates are at their peak and, with 12 hours of port time between 0800am (0700 local time) to 2000pm (1900 local time), there will be plenty of time to enjoy the entire island.
‘By adding the Bintan Island visit we are adding value to the weekend itinerary,’ said Thatcher Brown, president of Dream Cruises.
Less than an hour from Singapore
Situated less than an hour off the southern coast of Singapore, Bintan Island is a tropical island highlighted by pristine, white-sanded beaches, quaint seaside villages and plentiful hotels and resorts offering watersport activities.
Bintan Island is the largest of 3,200 islands making up Indonesia’s Riau Archipelago and possesses an interesting, eclectic mix of different cultures and ethnicities, including Malay, Bugis, Chinese and native tribes.
ECO tours, golf, watersports, beaches
During Genting Dream’s port of call to Bintan Island, guests can indulge in a variety of shore excursions from sampling local foods to shopping and traditional Indonesian massage. For the more adventurous, Bintan Island is famous for its range of water and land activities including wakeboarding, kayaking, snorkelling and off-road ATV tours, Safari Lagoi, ECO Farm or Mangrove Eco Tour.
For golf enthusiasts, Bintan Island offers a number of world-class courses.
Shore excursions range from SGD 50-70/person and golf packages range from SGD150-190/adult (prices include return ferry ticket from the ship to Bintan Island).
Guests who prefer to explore Bintan Island on their own can also arrange a SGD 30 per guest trip to discover the destination at their own pace with inclusive ferry service and coach transfers to and from Plaza Lagoi Bay in the Bintan Island Resorts area.
