In the previous articles, I’ve mentioned that we had a day tour in Indonesia. Why? Because we’re only a day away before going back to our home country.
Here’s your guide to enjoying a day in Bintan and exploring a part of the island. Seriously, one day isn’t really enough so you better book for Indonesia longer.
In this article, however, features a great and affordable family and or couple staycation offered by a resort in Bintan, the Treasure Bay. If you want to spend a whole day, this resort will take good care of you and your pocket.

Once you have arrived at the station, just walk your way to the exit gate and go straight ahead. The entrance to Treasure Bay Crystal Lagoon is on your left.
Crystal Lagoon is the first in South East Asia. It’s a manmade saltwater/seawater lagoon at 6.3 hectares. An extensive range of activities awaits you in this area. The lagoon’s seawater is filtered, hence, delicate on the skin and isn’t too salty if you get a taste. It was said to have the perfect water condition all year round. It is also eco-friendly and is safer than regular swimming pools with too many chemicals added to it.
The lagoon offers a wide range of water activities, leisure, and fun. Here are some things to do in Bintan. Treasure Bay
