SAILING TO THE DREAM ISLANDS
|
Togian islands
Togian islands are located in the large Tomini bay, and are wonderful for
divers and snorkelers. There are 2 resorts on Kadidiri, the Paradise and
the Black marlin, as well as one resort in Bomba. Those 3 resorts offer
diving. The islands are still forested; Malenge offer small excursions to
see monkeys and wild pigs, and has basic resorts. In front of the village
of Katupat, on the island of Bolelangan, another small resort (basic, no
diving, snorkeling). |

How to get there:
From Luwuk, you first have to go to Ampana (7 hours by daily bus, starts
at noon, or 5 hours by a charter car), spend the night there, then take
a public boat to Bomba or Wakai. (Bomba resort can takes you by speed
boat in Ampana so chartering a car from Luwuk you can do it on one day) |

Banggai islands
Banggai islands have no resort or any kind of tourist infrastructure. The
archipelago is constituted of a few main islands and a myriad of islets.
There are a few basic losemens in the village of Banggai.There, you can
rent motorbike to visit the Banggai islands (one day) that has fantastic
beaches on the east coast,or some outriggers to visit the nearest islands.
Good snorkelling in Monsonan bay where you can see the Banggai Cardinal
fishes, a beautiful endemic fish. There are public boat to Bangkulu island,
and you can stay in the village of Lantibung where the inhabitants will
offer you hospitality. From there charter an outriggers to the surrounding
islets of Katini and Siceh. |

A raid on the coast or to the islands
Our 15 feet catamaran is a more radical approach for a raid to the islands
or along the main coast.The boat can be towed to a departure point in Banggai
or Togian to avoid a long crossing. We can also pick it from a determined
arrival point. We customize the tour together with you according to the
time you have, the places you like to visit, expected winds, etc. We provide
you with a few basic items: a chart, a tent, waterproof bags, a few food
items, and you are by your own. |
Rates:
The basic rental rate of the catamaran is $45/day, but the total price will
depend on what additional service the customer wish (towing the boat to
departure point, providing food, arrival point, etc. ). Please consult us
and let’s build your tour. |
