Riau Islands is a province of Indonesia. It comprises the principal group of the Riau Archipelago along with other island groups to the south, east and northeast. In Indonesian, Riau Islands and Riau Archipelago are synonymous and are distinguished by the word for province, "Provinsi".
Some of the Riau Islands are within eyesight of downtown Singapore, while others are hundreds of kilometers away from anything. Because of this, the province offers many different experiences to a traveller. The luxury resorts on the north coast of Bintan and the much seedier towns of Batam are a short ferry ride from Singapore. Historic and ethnically-diverse Tanjung Pinang, the capital and largest town on Bintan, is further away but still easy to reach.
We have been using Natalie for a few years now for everything from a quick business trip within Canada to a more complex family European or island destination. Natalie is wonderful at giving options of flights and hotels and doing research on both. She goes out of her way to get information as well as ensure that all the little details are in place. She really understands and listens our needs and wants. We really love using her!
