The Riau Islands are an archipelago in Indonesia, located east of Sumatra and south of Singapore. An archipelago of over 3,000 islands, the province has benefited greatly from its location - just 40 minutes from Singapore. Its two main islands Batam and Bintan are some of the most developed and affluent parts of Indonesia. While Bintan and Batam get many visitors from Singapore and Malaysia via Johor Bahru, the rest of the islands in the province are very much off the beaten track, offering endless exciting trips to the adventurous. The islands have also become a favourite destination for cycling enthusiasts from Singapore. This book offers information on Riau Islands and its most notable places.
