Why Bintan suits National Day

  • August is a good month

    August is one of the best months for Bintan, with its most reliable weather of the year.

  • No leave needed

    Bintan needs about 2 days, and the 3 free days cover it without taking leave.

  • 1h away

    Ferry from Tanah Merah, about 1h. Short enough to leave on the evening before the holiday.

  • No local holiday rush

    It's an ordinary weekend in Indonesia, so you aren't competing with local holiday crowds.

#3 of 14 destinations we rank for National Day 2027, on weather, leave needed and crowds.
