20150517_071033

After years of parting, we decided to have a high school mini reunion. We had few choices as Bintan Island provide range of resort and accommodations to cater every needs. From low, mid to high end.

We wanted a place that able to do BBQ and at the same time providing relaxing place where we can chat nonstop!

Thus, we choose the most affordable yet comfortable place in town, Kelong Elly.

Kelong means a form of offshore platform built predominantly with wood, which can be found in waters. Kelong Elly is very famous for their fishing. They provide on-site fishing as well as fishing trips. It is located at Trikora Beach KM 39, Teluk Bakau.

How to get there?

From Singapore you can take ferry about 2 hours from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to Tanjung Pinang (city of Bintan Island). From there land transportation by car is needed and it takes about 45mins to 1hour journey.

They also provide very affordable and clean accommodation.
