Summary:
The experience was really amazing! Driver was on time and since we went on an off peak season, we had the entire boat to ourselves ! The stars were so beautiful that night, and the guide shook the tree a little so that we could catch the fireflies. The boat cutting the Sebong river was so smooth and it was windy like air con temperature. We really enjoyed the serenity and calmness of the night.

Summary:
We had a fun and unique experience. We were picked up from our hotel at 4 Points Sheraton Bintan by Mr Darul who drove safely in a comfortable car. Upon arriving, we put on lifejackets as a safety measure and went down a few steps down the jetty and was helped onto the motor boat. It was only us with the guide Taufik and the captain as it was a random Tuesday. We saw and touched fireflies (we let them go obviously). The boat trip at night down the mangrove was an experience in itself, with the cool breeze and the stars in the sky. My teenage kids (tough crowd) and I wished it could go on longer. Thanks to Taufik for such clear and detailed explanation and thr boat captain for such steady and skilful boat skills! Taufik also helped to take pictures of us. Overall a great experience!
