This snorkelling tour was very fun, affordable, and well-organised by Rio, our tour organiser and Yurnalis, our tour guide and driver! Yurnalis picked us up from our hotel (Cassia Bintan) and drove us to the snorkelling site which was about an hour. Then we sat on a speedboat to the man-made house above the sea for the snorkelling. We snorkelled for a good 1h30m, then went kayaking, and spent an hour there just chilling and playing with hermit crabs. Afterwards, we fished and washed up!
1. Unlimited time for all activities!! We spent a good 3-4 hours just snorkelling, kayaking, fishing.
2. You can rinse yourself with water which they provided! They provide towels as well (was not the cleanest but it is okay), and you can bring soap too.
3. All staff were very friendly and provided us with videos and photos of our snorkelling~
4. We were warned that the water was not very clear as it is monsoon season, but we decided to still go ahead with it!
5. I would say it is a low-budget snorkelling experience. It was still enjoyable though! Do bring your own equipment if you are afraid of using used equipment.
*Although it is monsoon season in December in Bintan, we still went ahead with the tour! Thank god the weather was on our side and it didn't rain haha. I got sunburnt instead LOL
