7. 4.0 Penyengat Island (159 reviews)
   - Little island off the beaten track
   Monday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Islands
   
   
   My wife and I (as part of our hotel tour) took a boat over to this enchanting little island. Although we weren't sure at first, we managed to barter down with the longboat owner and thought it would be worth it. When we landed, we jumped on a motorbike side car and toured the island this way - it was great fun. The brick winding roads took us around the island to see different cemeteries, an old municipal building, a fantastic view point and some Buddhist temples. It was a great place to visit and away from any touristy spot! Well worth it if you get the opportunity to explore this ancient piece of Indonesian island territory. See more..

   I didnt expect much when I first arrived at Tanjung Pinang and heard about Trikora. I thought that it wouldnt be any different with the beaches that we have in Malaysia. But, I was totally wrong. Trikora beach was amazing! The water was clear and at almost turqoise. And, it is very clean and not crowded at all. It is truly a hidden gem of the East Indies. See more..
   
10. 4.0 Tua Pek Kong Temple (106 reviews)
    - Interesting Buddhist Complex
    Points of Interest & Landmarks • Religious Sites
    
    
    Our first stop since arriving in Batam. It is quite a huge Buddhist complex, probably funded by the local Chinese community. The Front is the Tua Pek Kong temple, it is in a traditional South China building with a central courtyard and a main deity praying halls. Behind the TPK Temple, what look like a newly constructed Great Buddhist Hall, go up the stairs to the main prayer halls, there are 3 huge Buddha statues inside. Chants are playback on the speaker. Please be respectable and dressed decently when visiting as it is a local religious place. See more..

    - Beautiful place to visit ... just like the pictures
    Monday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Islands
    
    
    Went over for a day trip (12 to 4 cause of tides/boat landing). It was everything we imagined. Lovely set up with plenty of places to sit & sun bathe. Annoyingly there were para surfers there as well & they took many of the goods spots to leave their gear whilst out on the water. We found a nice spot to spend our time and got food & beer from the restaurant which we enjoyed the variety on offer. We had plenty of swims in the beautiful clear water and just went wow how good is this. Highly recommend as a place to visit. There are small huts & tents if you want to spend the night which we would definitely consider if we ever visit again. See more..

18. 4.0 Bintan Desert (43 reviews)
    - Great place to visit with driver hire not guided trip
    Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    Hire a driver for the day for £35. Entry to this attraction is £1.50 each which means for 3 of us it’s £40. You also have the driver for other places as well at no extra cost. A guided tour is over £100 for 3 people Area is impressive as is the colour of the lakes (ponds really). Good photo opportunities. A couple of other activities including archery, beach buggies and birds of prey Don’t go with massive expectation as you would be disappointed See more..

20. 4.0 Vietnam Village (39 reviews)
    - Historically significant...but needs a Cash Injection NOW
    Spent 2-3 hours Historic Walking Areas
    
    
    280k Vietnamese passed through this site between 1979 and 1996...and the world seems to know ZIPPO about it. This needs money spent on it BIG TIME, as it is predominantly in decay...although some churches are being renovated. This is, after the Bridge, the supposed No 2 Tourist attraction in the Batam Island Group...and if restored, could be so, so much better. An absolute eye opener, and so glad we visited...but, it has so much potential to shine...not only for Batam, but out of respect to the Vietnamese who were uprooted from their homelands here. There were barracks, homes, churches, schools, administration blocks, hospitals...with the jungle wining the battle in most areas Well worth the drive....but, please...throw some good money at it Indonesia...it deserves it!!

21. 4.5 Grand Batam Shopping Centre (37 reviews)
    - One of the better mall
    Shopping Malls

22. 4.5 The Illusion (36 reviews)
    - Cheap, fun and quick shot of good photos
    Speciality Museums
    
    
    The place wasn't that big but we manage to get about 70 photos worth of humor. The staff were so supportive and approachable. After you are done with one shot, they will standby on the next one and show you hoe to pose. I find them very friendly and funny. Even though I find that some of the mural don't look real enough, the staff makes the RP80k worthwhile. Without their help, we would be clueless and without their cuteness, we would not have had fun taking photos in that big hall. So, thank you very much for making our day and helping us make lovely fun memories with the photos you help us take. Will definitely come again with more people next time. See more..

    - Top spot in Natuna!
    Geologic Formations
    
    
    The geology of Natuna Island is simply amazing, and the best place to see it up close is the Alif Stone Park. We visited the park during the day and saw all the huge granite boulders, and later went back for a special occasion dinner in the spectacular natural venue, with a small acoustic band singing amongst the rocks. We also got to see the guesthouse rooms which looked wonderful! See more..

28. 4.0 Temburun Waterfall (2 reviews)
    - Just Like Heaven
    Spent More than 3 hours Waterfalls
    
    
    Entahlah saya harus berkata apa mengenai tempat yang satu ini. Rasa kagum dan haru akan Keagungan Sang Pencipta membuat saya hanya diam terbungkam menyaksikan sebuah panorama yang sangat indah ini. Segala kesombongan diri pun perlahan sirna seiring mata menyaksikan sebuah air terjun betingkat tujuh yang langsung bermuara kelaut. Kesunyian suasana serta kejernihan air yang terhempas kelaut, akan terasa sulit dilupakan begitu saja... See more..
