Great video! Please do shed some light on what's it like kiting in Abu Dhabi! What's the wind like? Is there a light wind season? How do you find a place to stay and what is $$? How to get to the kite beach? Do you need a car? Water and air temperature? The best time to hydrofoil!? and so on! any info will be highly appreciated!
Thank you very much for watching the vide :) we are so glad to hear you liked it and made you want to go there :) haha when we watch this it makes us wanna go back so bad...
Hello. Great video! I wanted to visit the island as well but have heard that there are no private tours available (I have no car). Also I heard that you need to be a guest at the Anantara hotel to even visit the Island. Could you guide us?
Hello Henri, Thank you for watching the video and we are glad to hear you like it. Well, we were not guests at the hotel, we just went on a day trip which was offered by the hotel. I guess it's best If you call the hotel and see if there are any day trip offers these days, If not they can tell you when it's gonna be available. However, you need to find a way to get to the ferry terminal, (Jebel Dhana Jetty). Good luck, Let us know how it goes,
Well, It's actually about what you are looking for, in any tourist destination. If you want a break from your busy life, then this is an awesome place, but If you are looking a happening nightlife venue there are so many other places, Batam island would be the closest option from Bintan I guess.
Hey!! Amayzing video, thanks for the look at the island. Please, can you tell me what month did you travel there? Because I'm thinking on going in february, but I'm afraid of the cold, and to be at the beach with less then 20°C. Do you know smth about it?
Hello Carolina, Thank you for watching. We visited the sir baniyas island in the may 2019. It was a bit hot but not so bad,.. As far as we know february is the coldest but If the water is calm and clear it won't be an issue I guess, but better to call the hotel and ask about this.
Thank you for watching and for your comment... glad you like the video and yes when you do check out the island, we are sure you gonna have a great time there :)
Very enjoyable and informative video!! 👍 We're in Singapore in February 2023 and were thinking of a day trip to Bintan, bit, after seeing your video I think we'll have to make it at least a 2 day trip!! 😉
@@lets-find-out Amazing to hear back from you. No, I have been fortunate to get to a tropical destination once (Ecuador) but getting a chance to see great content like this is great. 'Hoping to add to the experience with trips to local Singapore restaurants here in Toronto. Take care and please keep making videos.
Yes, if you generally do not need a visa to indonesia (please check as per your passport requirements) then yes a singaporean visa is sufficient for your round trip to and from bintan.
Hey thank you so so much for posting this video. My partner and I are going to a resort in Indonesia very close to Singapore for 5 days so I was thinking we can go to Singapore for a day or so. We are American, would our passports be enough to travel by ferry or do we require a Singapore visa? Thank you so much!
Hi, Sorry for the delay. Since you need to get the ferry from Singapore to get to Bintan you will need a Singaporean Visa to leave the airport. If you are visiting the island from Indonesia (Im not sure it that may be possible you will have to check that) then you don’t need a Singaporean visa.
Hello, Thank you for watching and liking our vlogs. we have not travelled anywhere since the pandemic so we are not the best people to get advice on this. 😅 However, I see some of our friends are travelling in Bali these days, seems like everything is okay there :)
Sorry guys about most of the video is being black, it is apparently due to the poor network connectivity, so many people were streaming from there so probably that could be it. and sorry for those who were watching live and also informed me that it is all black, I saw your comments as you were posting them and I checked all the settings but from my end everything seemed to be fine, youtube did not warn me about this.

Hi thanks a lot for your comment. However as this was a while back and to avoid give you any wrong information I would suggest giving them a call to find out more information as it may have changed during covid
