Highlights
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.

5Great morning adventure!
Great morning exploring the sand dunes/blue lake. Our guide took us to the best photo spots. We had a delicious set seafood lunch after.
5Comprehensive and well-planned half-day tour
We had a great experience on this tour. Our driver and guide, Yurnalis, picked us up promptly at 9:30am from our hotel lobby, and our first stop was the stunning Blue Lake and Sand Dunes. The weather was hot, but the scenery was absolutely beautiful and made for some spectacular photos. We then headed to Kelong “Jagonya” Seafood Restaurant for a seafood set lunch. The dishes were familiar—similar to Singaporean and Malaysian stir-fried seafood—and overall very tasty. Our final stop was a small souvenir stall with plenty of free samples to try, which was a fun way to wrap up the tour. We were back at our resort by 1pm, making it a smooth, pleasant, and well-organised half-day outing.
5Perfect way to tour...
Perfect way to tour Bintan in a private car. Darul was friendly and professional - he took care of everything at each of the stops
5A surreal experience at the Blue Lake
There was a little delay of 30min as the Indonesia side informed us that there was a system glitch. However we were ok with the 30minute delay and went on the Blue Lake. It was such a surreal experience and the weather was scorching and we were prepared! Great scenery and experience. We climbed all the way to the top ! Souvenirs here are really expensive, so try not to buy it if you can help
4The hotel and restaurants were had good service as the activities though I do wish some activities had given us the full agenda
The hotel was well maintained and had good service as well as the restaurants there,as well as affordable and comfortable
1Incredibly underwhelming!
Really did not get the hype with this , a small lake with a blue tinge accessesd via wooden steps in some sand dunes. Reminded me of the old clay pits in Cornwall but a 1/8 of the size and not as pretty. Spent less than. 10. Minutes here . Would not recommend
