North Sulawesi & Sangihe Islands Journey

Flight from Bali to Manado. Upon arrival, your driver will meet you at the airport and transfer you to Four Points by Sheraton Manado, where you can check in and relax after your journey.

In the afternoon, you will enjoy a guided tour of Manado, the capital of North Sulawesi. You will learn about the city's history, discover its remaining colonial architecture, gain insight into the local culture, and experience the distinctive atmosphere of this region, so different from Bali.

In the evening, dinner will be served at a local restaurant before returning to the hotel for a restful night.

After breakfast, you will transfer to the airport for your flight from Manado to Tahuna via Siau. Upon arrival on Sangihe Island, your driver will take you to Tahuna Resort. After check-in, you will enjoy lunch and have some time to relax.

In the afternoon, your exploration of the island begins. Passing through charming villages and remnants of colonial architecture, you will follow a rainforest trail with a local guide to a picturesque waterfall. As dusk falls, you may have the chance to spot tarsiers—among the smallest primates on Earth, nocturnal creatures that are rarely seen in the wild.

After the excursion, return to the hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, your expedition through the Sangihe Archipelago begins. By speedboat, you will travel to remote islands, hidden bays, and secluded places far from the usual tourist routes.

Throughout the day, you will stop at several snorkeling sites in crystal-clear waters, while certified divers will also have the opportunity to dive. Discover vibrant marine life, unusual underwater volcanic landscapes, tiny uninhabited islands, and secluded beaches perfect for swimming and relaxing.

By late afternoon, you will arrive on Para Island and settle into a simple yet comfortable guesthouse. After dinner, enjoy a peaceful evening surrounded by the tranquility of this remote island.

After breakfast, your journey through the Sangihe Archipelago continues. Another day awaits among remote islands, secluded coves, and untouched natural landscapes. You will discover new snorkeling and diving sites, land on quiet beaches, and visit traditional fishing villages where local communities continue to preserve their ancestral way of life.

This part of the journey reveals a side of Indonesia that few travelers ever experience—peaceful, remote, and almost untouched by mass tourism. Free from large resorts and modern infrastructure, the archipelago offers pristine nature, crystal-clear waters, and the timeless rhythm of island life.

In the afternoon, you will return to Tahuna. After some time to rest and dinner, you will transfer to the port to board the overnight ferry back to Manado.

The ferry arrives in Manado in the morning. After meeting your driver at the port, you will be transferred to the airport for your return flight to Bali.

Your journey through the Sangihe Archipelago comes to an end here. Over the past few days, you will have discovered one of Indonesia's least-explored regions, with its tropical rainforests, remote islands, thriving marine ecosystems, and places where nature and tradition have remained remarkably well preserved.
