Water Sports
Swimming/ snorkeling/ fishing/ kayaking/ windsurfing/ stand-up paddle boarding and sailing (we have 3 Lasers and 2 Nacras (a 5m catamaran)). All equipment is provided free of charge, except for the Nacras and advanced level windsurfing boards. There are tremendous opportunities to snorkel from the various beaches that surround the island. With prior arrangement experienced divers can explore both wrecks and outer reefs. Charges apply for the use of the diving equipment. We do not have a resident dive master but we can arrange one to come over from Singapore. The best time of year for snorkeling and diving is from March to November. We have a spectacular freshwater pool with an adjacent paddling pool for younger children.
Adventure
Rock climbing/mountain biking/ trekking/diving (reefs
& wrecks) There are some exciting trails for walkers
or mountain bikers to explore on Bintan and
neighbouring islands.
Nature Based
There are plenty of opportunities to explore the
island’s flora and fauna. At low tide the rock pools
around the reef make a fascinating area to explore
for both adults and children. Our staff will be happy to
help you identify what you see.
Beach volleyball, Boule, Capture the Flag etc
A range of games is available upon request. For
more active guests, members of staff are always
keen for a friendly game.
Children
Children of all ages have a great time on Nikoi although the range of activities and the general layout
of Nikoi is better suited for children over the age of 4. With smooth
granite boulders to climb, jungle vines to swing on,
white sandy beaches to comb, and stunning reefs to
snorkel there is something for everyone. Pirate
treasure hunts, local craft workshops, fishing,
rockpool discovery. Our staff are always on hand to
help entertain or help keep an eye on your children.
There is even a dress up box filled with pirate and
mermaid costumes.
