Diving Itinerary

Enjoy green turtles, beautiful wall dives and more on this enjoyable adventure to Indonesia's Bunaken National Park in North Sulawesi.

Comprising five islands - Bunaken, Manado Tua, Mantehage, Nain, and Siladen - along with the surrounding waters, Bunaken National Marine Park is justifiably one of Indonesia's most popular diving regions to visit. The area is most famous for its abundance of green turtles, who grace many dives in the area. Superb visibility, walls adorned with gorgeous corals, and a high biodiversity of marine life both large and small all add to the appeal of a diving holiday to Bunaken.

Located near the city of Manado, divers can choose to stay at a resort on Sulawesi opposite the national park, or stay on an island resort within Bunaken marine park itself.

For those looking to explore more of this area, diving or snorkelling in Bunaken can be combined with a visit to the Bangka Archipelago, the Lembeh Strait, or both!
