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.

I booked a wrong date and Rio was very accommodating for the date change. Arif is an excellent guide. The lunch included should perhaps focus more on quality rather than quantity.

Although the tour was rescheduled in the last minutes, we had really enjoyed the tour. Full of the contents.

The half day 4 hour tour was such an amazing experience. Our tour guide picked us up from the ferry terminal and took us right to the Blue Lake and Sand dunes. The views are breathtaking and there's plenty of time for pictures. We were then driven around the island through one of the main towns and visited Chinese and Buddhist temples. The last stop was a tasty seafood lunch. There was 2 of us but enough food to feed 4 people. We were dropped back off at the ferry terminal and headed back to Singapore on the one hour ferry ride. This was a fabulous day trip.

Service provider Bintan Trans Pratama did not pick us up at the scheduled time as they thought we have cancelled the tour. We have to call them and inform them we did not cancel. After checking, they admitted their mistake and arrange for a guide to pick us up 1 hour later. Totally disappointed with the tour. We demand a refund. Please get back to me.

Our ship did not stop in Indonesia, due to visas. But I read this was a great tour. And it was my loss. I did not get to see i the beaches. I would love to do this tour.
