Top Snorkeling Spots in Bintan :
1. Bintan Cool / Rumah Kelong: A unique snorkeling experience around a *kelong* (traditional offshore fishing platform) in the middle of the sea. You can see clownfish (“Nemo”) and other small fish up close. In addition to snorkeling, you can enjoy kayaking and recreational fishing. Professional snorkel guides are provided, so there is no need to worry if you cannot swim.
Underwater photo and video documentation using Camera Go-Pro are included, as is the snorkel Equitment. Bintan Cool offers a quite reasonable price: just IDR 500,000 per person. This price also includes bottled water, hot coffee, hot tea, and instant cup noodles. For snorkeling tours in Bintan, “Bintan Cool” is the top choice I recommend.
2. Trikora Beach & Teluk Bakau: The most iconic and easily accessible spots. The waters are calm and framed by large granite boulders (Note: Bring your own snorkeling equitment; diving here is restricted to licensed professionals).
3. Lagoi Bay Beach: Snorkeling here involves taking a boat out to sea to find coral reefs teeming with fish; Snorkel equitment is provided. The downsides here are the lack of underwater photo and video documentation and the short duration—only 30 minutes. The price ranges from IDR 600,000 to IDR 900,000 per person.
I hope this brief explanation helps you a little.
Choose the best Bintan snorkeling tour for you. Have a good day!
