The mysterious sand dunes of Gurun Pasir Busung in Bintan. Originally a mining site, Gurun Pasir Busung was abandoned and now it resembles a majestic landscape of the Arabian desert. Although it is located quite far away from the city and resort area, many Tourist are willing to take their time just to visit this place. All because of the golden-washed sand dune that contrast beautifully with the blue sky and white fluffy clouds, making it picture-perfect. It’s to soon to be mesmerized, as this place has more to offer.
Right alongside the golden sand dune is a surreal crystal-clear blue lake. It's hard to imagine that this crystal blue lake was once just a large crater in an abandoned mining site, but as time went by, it began to gradually fill with rainwater resulting in a "post-apocalyptic oasis" in the middle of Gurun Pasir Busung desert.

Great photo taking spot

5.00This place was really nice to take many great photos! We paid IDR 50,000 and had fun doing a mini photoshoot with the clear blue lake and sand dunes in the background, super worth it as the pictures turned out really well. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Bintan. Our driver and guide, Rio, was really nice and friendly and we had a comfortable ride with him from the villa to the lake and back. Thank you Rio for your hospitality!
A visit in the rain

3.00We visited in the rain so lakes not as blue as described but still interesting and picturesque. Not much to do there and spoilt by the litter everywhere. I passed a sad looking owl tethered to a post presumably for the pleasure of taking a photo with it - took the edge off the attraction.
Great tour and tour guide 👍

5.00All was good. Our driver/guide was on time and very helpful and accommodating throughout the tour. The vehicle was clean and modern and we were taken to some very intetesting places that were off the beaten track. It was nice to get out of the Lagoi resort enclave to see a bit of the real Indonesia. Well worth the money.
