Bintan Mangrove Discovery Day Tour

 

This two-hour eco adventure will take you on a back-to-nature encounter with the wonders of Bintan Resorts' mangrove forests. These forests protect the coast from erosion whilst trapping sediments in water flowing off

the land, helping to create our clear blue coastal waters. Journeying through the Sebung River, home to rich mangrove forests and waterways, observe a myriad of colourful flowers and fruits that stand out against a

backdrop of the fleshy green leaves of the mangrove trees.

 

Wildlife

The river also plays host to a variety of exotic wildlife. Some of the shy wildlife includes Macaque and Silver Leaf monkeys, monitor lizards and snakes. Birds, such as the Kingfisher and the Purple Heron, can be heard calling and seen fishing along the riverbanks. Below the water is a nursery ground for coral fish and other sea life, including mudskippers, crabs, prawns, mud lobsters, snails, clams and a variety of small fish.

 

Indigenous folks

As the river meanders further south, catch a glimpse of the orang laut

(sea gypsies) and kelongs (fishing houses built on stilts over water). Also

look out for the traditional charcoal kiln and static fishing traps (bubus)

along the way. Traditional life still exists in Bintan's mangrove forests.

Homes, boats, fishing traps and daily meals all come from the mangroves.

In fact, over 47,000 tonnes of fish are caught in Indonesia's mangroves

every year and just 1 hectare of mangroves can yield over 160 kg of shrimp.

Bintan Mangrove Discovery Night Tour 

 

The Mangrove Discovery Night Tour is as enchanting as it is magical. With only one nightly tour departing at around 7.30pm, it is definitely an eco experience one should not miss while in Bintan.

 

 

 

The boat ride takes you through the same Sebung river as the day tour, although you do not fully go into the tributaries. Cruising down the river into the cool night is a refreshing experience as you feel the calm and serenity of the mangrove forests. The highlight of the tour is of course the Fireflies, flashing together in synchrony; it is truly a captivating experience that brings you closer to nature.

 

On the boat journey back to the jetty, look up and count the many stars in the sky... it is a rare sight for many urban visitors.
