Snorkeling – Kelong Bintan Neemo
Snorkeling into Bintan's clear waters and discover vibrant marine life around a unique floating kelong.
Description
Kelong Bintan Neemo is a popular snorkeling spot in Bintan, offering a serene and colorful underwater experience. Located in the middle of the sea and accessible by boat from Teluk Bakau, this kelong provides an open sea atmosphere with eye-pleasing clear turquoise waters.
Snorkeling in the area around the kelong is very suitable for beginners and families because the sea currents are relatively calm, and the depth is safe for relaxed exploration. Tourists can enjoy the beauty of live corals, various small tropical fish, and sometimes even get a close look at starfish or anemones.
The facilities at Kelong Bintan Neemo are also quite complete. There are resting areas on the kelong, simple toilets, and rental services for snorkeling equipment and life jackets. You can also enjoy a fresh seafood lunch prepared by the kelong management—a unique experience not found on land.
To get here, it is recommended to use private transportation or a car charter from Amazing Bintan Trips, followed by a short boat ride to the kelong (additional fees apply). Travel time from the Trikora area is about 20 minutes, and from Tanjungpinang, it's about 1 hour.
Snorkeling at Bintan Neemo is a perfect activity to connect with Bintan's marine nature without having to venture far into the open ocean.
