Plan your visit

Visit Bintan during the dry season, from March to October, when clear, sunny days, calmer seas, and lower humidity create ideal conditions for outdoor and water activities. A stay of 2 to 4 days is recommended, with a 3-day trip often considered ideal. You can easily combine a trip to Bintan with nearby Singapore; travelers typically fly into Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), then take a 1 to 1.5-hour ferry from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to Bandar Bentan Telani. Use Nomad on Kiwi.com to plan a seamless multi-city journey including both destinations.
