Highlights

Journey back in time to a time when kings and queens ruled the islands of the Riau Kingdom. The monarchy ruled what is now part of Indonesia to Singapore and beyond Southern Malaysia. Your journey skirts past the island's tallest mountain, Gunung Bintan. Soak up views of lush jungles on its slopes. Visit a predominantly Chinese village famous for its alleyways that crisscross over the sea.

Hop on board a water taxi to Penyengat Island. Ride along ancient streets paved with history on a Baechak (motorised trishaw). This island and its attractions are on their way to becoming UNESCO World Heritage sites. Visit the home of the kinds of the last phase of the Malay Kingdom.

The ruins of an old palace, the Royal Mosque and the mausoleum are awash in hues of yellow and green. See the rusting canons that defended the locals against the invading Dutch colonialists that still cast their glances over the seas.
Take a water taxi to Penyengat Island, the former seat of power of the Riau Kingdom.
Explore the island on a Baechak (much like a tuk-tuk!) and see historic sites like an old Dutch fort, a Sultan's Grand Mosque, old palace ruins and more.
Learn more about the history and culture of the old Riau Kingdom from your local tour guide.
Indulge in a sumptuous authentic Indonesian set lunch at a local restaurant.
