Smart Spending Tips

Want to enjoy Bintan without splashing too much cash? It’s all about being a bit savvy! First up, use booking apps to snag discounts on ferries, hotels, and activities. 

A quick scroll through these apps can help you find special deals and promo codes that make a huge difference. Some apps even offer last-minute discounts, so keep an eye out for flash sales.

Another top tip is to avoid peak seasons. Travelling during off-peak times not only means cheaper prices but also fewer crowds, giving you a much more relaxed vibe to enjoy the island. You’ll get better deals on accommodation and tours, plus more space to soak up the beauty of Bintan without the hustle and bustle.

Don’t forget to compare prices before you book. Sometimes, booking directly with the hotel or ferry operator gives you a better deal. They may have special promotions. Also, think about travelling in groups. Sharing costs for transport and activities makes everything much more affordable.

A little planning goes a long way. With the right tips and a bit of research, you’ll be able to enjoy all the luxury Bintan has to offer while keeping your wallet happy. Trust me, your bank account will thank you later.
