Experience Kelong Life – Teluk Bakau Area
Enjoy a unique floating experience in Bintan, from relaxing on the water to snorkeling and savoring fresh seafood.
Description
Teluk Bakau is known as home to a number of kelongs—traditional floating houses on the sea that have now evolved into unique tourist destinations in Bintan. Here, you can enjoy a maritime experience that blends with nature: from simply relaxing and enjoying the sea breeze to trying various activities like kayaking, canoeing, snorkeling, or dining on fresh seafood right on the water.
Each kelong offers a different ambiance. Some are equipped with relaxing huts, hammocks, open dining areas, and facilities for snorkeling and other light water activities. The sea water around Teluk Bakau is clear and calm, making it safe and ideal for families and solo travelers who want to escape the city's hustle and bustle.
Some visitors choose to spend a few hours on a kelong, while others opt for an overnight stay to enjoy the tranquil night sea atmosphere and bright stars without light pollution.
Access to the kelongs typically starts from local jetties around Teluk Bakau. You can use Amazing Bintan Trips' car charter service for easy and comfortable pick-up and drop-off to the crossing point.
