Bintan Trip from Singapore — Island Getaway Vlogs, ATV Rides & Family Tips
Bintan is the closest island getaway to Singapore — about an hour by ferry — which makes it perfect for a long weekend with kids. Our five-part Bintan series shows what a short trip there is really like.
We take a boat to White Sand Island, go on an ATV ride from D'Bamboo Kamp, visit a temple lined with 500 life-sized stone statues, and explore some of Bintan's quieter, more scenic corners.
