North Sulawesi (Manado) Liveaboard Boats

North Sulawesi is one of Indonesia's best kept secrets. Manado, the capital, is easy to get to with direct connections from Singapore, Malaysia and major Indonesian cities. Land-based accommodation ranges from backpacker's hostels to sprawling beach resorts and everything in between. Manado is the jumping off point for some of the world's best diving at Bunaken Manado Tua National Marine Park , Lembeh Strait, Bangka Strait , and the Sangihe-Talaud Islands.

The Tukang Besi Islands lie off the southeast tip of Sulawesi in a region known as Wakatobi. Most are low-lying coral islands. The larger islands have rolling hills and rocky coastlines. Until recently this was one of the most remote areas of Indonesia because there was no easy access. Today there are direct flights from Bali North Sulawesi and liveaboards visit the huge reefs in the Wakatobi National Marine Park.
