Best things to do in Sulawesi and top places to visit (From South to North)

1 – diving in bira beach.

What to do in Bira Beach

Bira Beach has some impressive diving to be done, its prolific marine life makes it the perfect spot, with some of the best diving spots in the world. It’s also a good place for beginners as most of the coral reefs are not really deep and the current is usually weak. The visibility is exceptional.

There are also some beautiful snorkeling spots and the beach is a nice place to relax, really clean with white sand and translucent water.

If you are in the area, you should also check out nearby Tanah Beru, famous for being the main city producing bugis boats in Indonesia.

You might also want to check Kajang, a traditional village where people reject any kind of technology and only wear black. You don’t need to have a guide to go there but dress in black, remove your shoes at the village’s entrance and don’t enter it with your motorbike.

Where to stay in Bira Beach

If you’re going to dive, you can check out Scuba Republic , you can go diving with them, and they offer basic dorms and private bungalows. If you want something a bit more comfortable, you can stay at Nini’s Beach Bungalows for around 40 US a night, right on the beach.

If you want to treat yourself to a luxurious hotel, check out Amatoa Resort , offering beachfront bungalows, an infinity pool, and a great restaurant.

How to get to Bira Beach

There are a couple of buses leaving from the bus station in Makassar but there’s no fixed schedule – there, you’ll also find shared taxis. Make sure to go early in the morning to be sure to catch something. It might be easier to hire a private transfer. The trip takes around 6 hours

2 – Take a boat ride on Danau Tempe

What to do in Danau Tempe

Visiting Lake Tempe is a unique experience, many people have built floating houses and just live on the lake. Meeting them and witnessing this different type of lifestyle is really exceptional. Most of them are fishermen and live on the lake during high tide season, moving to the land when the tide is low.

The starting point to visit Danau Tempe is Sengkang, you can arrange for a boat ride with your accommodation. Consider hiring a guide if you want to communicate with the villagers as the boat driver won’t speak English.

The lake is also good for nature lovers as many bird species are living there.

Where to stay near Danau Tempe

You won’t find many accommodations online for Sengkang. I stayed at Amira Guesthouse , it’s cheap, comfortable clean and the owner is super friendly. He helped me arrange the boat ride. They also have a restaurant serving delicious local food.

How to get to Sengkang

From Makassar, there are cars leaving in the morning from the bus station.

From Bira, take the first car to Bulukumba, then one to Sanjai, and one to Sengkang.

3 – Discover Sulawesi death rituals in Tana Toraja

What to do in Tana Toraja

Visiting Tana Toraja is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and is one of the best things to do in Sulawesi. You cannot miss it. If you love tribal cultures, this place is for you.

Located in Central Sulawesi, Tanah Toraja is famous for its peculiar death ritual . Many ceremonies have to take place before the dead can be buried, and some families have to wait for months before the funeral, either because they don’t have enough money or either because all the relatives cannot come back for the ceremonies.

One of the most impressive rituals is the buffaloes’ sacrifices , the more the better, and after you’re invited to eat the barbecued buffaloes with the family.

The architecture of the houses is also worth a look, everything there is truly authentic and has not changed a bit despite tourism increasing. What is also impressive is the way they incorporated catholic religion into their traditions.

You can rent a scooter for the day and drive around the villages and rice fields. You can also hire a guide , which I recommend, to learn more about the culture and know where to go.

Where to stay in Tana Toraja:

Tana Toraja is a huge region, the main city being Rantepao. That’s where you’ll find most of the accommodation options, and it’s the easiest location to explore the region from. You can also, once there, organize a homestay in one of the more remote villages, just ask at the tour agencies or at your hotel.

In Rantepao, there are plenty of cheap options starting at 10-15US for a private room with a private bath (check out Rosalina Homestay ).

There are also a few pricier options but there’s not much quality or service difference between them and the cheaper options.

If you’re looking for something spectacular, check out Toraja Misiliana Hotel . They have turned traditional houses into hotel rooms and the result is quite unique.

4 – Visit the 700 years old Megaliths in Lore Lindu National Park

What to do in Lore Lindu National Park

Lost in the mountains are about 400 megaliths representing humans and animals, most of them carved 700 years ago, some dating back as far as 3000 BC. No one knows exactly how the statues got there, especially as the stone used to make them is not found anywhere near the site.

You’ll need to hire a guide to find them. It’s also a good opportunity to do a homestay in one of the traditional villages around the park.

The park is also famous for trekking and its prolific wildlife. You can find there the shyest and smallest primate in the world: the tarsier.

Where to stay near Lore Lindu National Park

You can take a day trip from Tentena. There you can stay at Ue Datu Cottages , surrounded by nature. You can also just show up and ask around for hotels, most of them are not online.

If you want to spend more time there, you can either stay in Bomba, where most of the megaliths are, or Wuasa, where you can trek and go bird-watching.

Coming from Tana Toraja, Bomba is easier to reach, coming from Palu or the Togian Islands, Wuasa is easier to reach. In both villages, your only option is a homestay. If you don’t go through a tour operator, you’ll have to just show up and ask around.

5 – Meet with the Wana tribe in Morowali Nature Reserve

Meeting the Wana tribe truly is a unique experience. To reach the Wana village, you’ll have to trek through the reserve for about a day. You will spend one or two nights there and then trek back. Not many people make the trip, and you’ll be welcomed with open arms. You’ll need to hire a guide and bring some presents for the tribe. Contact a tour agency in advance to book the trip, they’ll usually include an airport pickup in Palu.

The area is really beautiful and scenic. Meeting this remote tribe, almost totally cut from the outside world, is just amazing.

If you are in the area, you might want to stop by Tomori Bay . Located on the east coast of Central Sulawesi, the bay is famous for its rock formations and impressive rock paintings.

6 – Enjoy a relaxing time at Tanjung Karang Beach

Pantai Tanjung Karang, in Donggala, near Palu, is really beautiful, the sand is thin and white, and the water is transparent. Boarded by coconut trees, it’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset.

This beach is really unknown to most tourists, so it’s really quiet, maybe too quiet. If you are solo traveling, it might be best to just take a day trip from Palu.

Same if you want to stay there, stay at Prince John Dive Resort , it’s the most expensive one but it’s the only one truly operating, the other ones look like they are abandoned. The day I went there, the hotels were all deserted, I couldn’t even find someone from the staff. The only one where I found the caretaker, the place looked really ran out, I didn’t see myself spending the night there.

7 – Swim with jellyfish in the Togian Islands

What to do in the Togian Islands

The Togian Islands are one of Central Sulawesi’s most famous tourist attractions and probably the most touristy. As Sulawesi doesn’t get many tourists, the island is far from crowded. It’s quite hard to get there, but it’s totally worth it.

The easiest way to get there is simply to contact your hotel and ask, because the boat route and schedule is always changing.

The islands are perfect for snorkeling and diving , although the coral reef has been badly damaged by fishing activities. You’ll most likely see turtles, rays, and sharks (not the dangerous type).

What’s great about the Togean Islands is the laid-back lifestyle that comes with it. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy unspoiled beaches . You’ll also meet many sea gypsies moving between the islands.

One of the most famous features of the Togian Islands is the jellyfish lake. You can actually swim in it and be surrounded by jellyfish. The best part is that they are not poisonous. There are only two lakes like this in the world, the second one is also in Indonesia, in Kalimantan .

Where to stay in the Togian Islands

Surprisingly, you won’t find many hotels online. You can just get there and look around for a hotel, as there are plenty of those. The islands’ main city is Wakai, where you’ll find most of the accommodations. It’s also a central location to explore the rest of the islands.

8 – Meet Sulawesi’s endemic wildlife in Tangkoko Nature Reserve

Tangkoko National Park is the best place to see wildlife in North Sulawesi. You’ll mostly be likely to see Tarsiers, Hornbills, Crested Macaque, and Bear Cuscus.

You can easily organize a day trip from Manado to visit the park . Manado and its surroundings have a lot to offer: beautiful beaches, and impressive national parks. It’s the best place if you love nature and adventures.

9 – Discover Sulawesi’s diverse marine life in Bunaken Marine Park

What to do in Bunaken Island

Bunaken Marine Park is absolutely fabulous for diving and snorkeling in North Sulawesi. The water is crystal clear, and the reefs are amazing. The island, close to Manado, is easily accessible, and most accommodations are cheap. It’s the perfect place to chill for a couple of days, enjoy the beach and do some snorkeling.

You can also just take a day trip from Manado if you’re short on time.

Where to stay in Bunaken

There are plenty of accommodations for all budgets to choose from in Bunaken. Better to book in advance as the island can get crowded during weekends and public holidays.

Other things to do in Northern Sulawesi (Day trips from Manado):

• Hikking Mount Mahawu & Lokon
• Mount Klabat Sunrise Hike
• Trekking at Soputan Volcano Mountain
• Rafting on Nimanga River
• Snorkeling near Lihaga Island
• Woloan Village, Tondano Lake & Minahasa Highland
• Nani Wartabone National Park Tour

10 – Explore remote Sangir and Talaud Islands

Exploring Sangir and Talaud Island in North Sulawesi is the ultimate adventure. They rarely see any foreigners but have so much to offer, especially in terms of nature. The fauna and flora there are really diverse and so well preserved. The cluster of islands is also famous for its many volcanoes.

Get ready to explore the lush jungles and meet with remote tribes.

From Manado Harbour, you’ll find boats heading daily to Sangir. Avoid going during monsoon as the sea becomes dangerous. On Sangir (sometimes spelled Sangihe), the main town is Tahuna, where the boat arrives and where you’ll find most of the hotels.

Sulawesi Foods to Try Out

Pisang Ijo, or Green Banana, is one of my favorite Indonesian treats. Originally from Sulawesi, you can find them in most places in Indonesia, but there are not as good as the one you’ll eat in Sulawesi.

Pisang Ijo is a boiled banana rolled in a thin green pancake (the dye is natural) and served with a type of coconut pudding and pink syrup. It is super tasty, always add some ice cubes to the porridge for the perfect taste.

Mi Titi is one of my favorite Indonesian dishes. Originally from Sulawesi, with luck, you can find them in other parts of the country. Mie Titi are crunchy noodles served in a gooey sauce, it’s delicious.

Coto Makassar

Coto Makassar is a type of beef stew. The stew is delicious, but what they don’t tell you is that there’s no meat, only organs, and every type of organs imaginable, intestines and lungs included. I was told they make a version with only meat but I never found it.

Sulawesi Itinerary

Sulawesi is huge and the roads terrible, I once spend 24 hours on a bus instead of 8 because the road had collapsed.

When planning your itinerary count at least a day to get to one place to another.

Spending less than 2 weeks in Sulawesi, in my opinion, is not worth it, the distances between attractions are too great.

If you have the budget, you can go through a tour operator, which will save you time, especially if you want to explore the more remote places such as Lore Lindu or Morowali.

Sulawesi highlights – 3-week itinerary

This itinerary starts in Makassar and finishes in Manado. You can also do it the other way around. Both cities have an airport well connected to the rest of Indonesia.

• Makassar – 1 night – Arrive at Makassar airport, spend the night there and head to Bira in the morning, go as early as you can if you travel by public transportation.
• Bira – 3 nights – You’ll have two full days, you can do one at the beach or diving, and the other one, exploring the surroundings.
• Danau Tempe – 1 night – You’ll arrive in the evening, you can go early morning to the lake then directly head to Rantepao.
• Rantepao (Tana Toraja) – 4 nights – You’ll have 3 full days to explore all of Tana Toraja. On the last day, head early morning to Tentena.
• Tentena – 2 nights – Spend the night in Tentena, and the next day take a day trip to Lore Lindu. The next day head to Ampana.
• Ampana – 1 night – You might be able to catch a boat to the Togian Island on the same day but it’s safer to plan to spend a night in Ampana just in case.
• Togian Islands – 5 nights – Here, relax, relax and relax. You could spend less time there but the islands are so hard to reach and so beautiful, you’ll want to stay longer.
• Manado – 4 nights – In Manado, you can spend a day exploring the city, the next, go to Bunaken National Park and the last head to Tangkoko Nature Reserve.

Sulawesi 2-week itinerary

If you can’t spare 3 weeks, you can skip Bira and Danau Tempe, and fly directly to Rantepao from Makassar, and spend less time in each place.

Sulawesi Travel Guide: 10 Things to Do, Itinerary + Tips!

Sulawesi is an amazing hidden gem island in Indonesia that I was lucky enough to spend three weeks traveling – Out of all the different islands I have visited in Indonesia, Sulawesi was the most culturally rich and diverse in climate. Traveling Sulawesi won’t be for everyone, since it’s a more remote and off-the-beaten-path destination, but I highly recommend it for those with an adventurous spirit.

FYI: Some links on my site are affiliate links that help support my site at no additional cost to you. Read more on my privacy policy page.

✔️ Sulawesi Quick Guide 

🏝  best things to do.

• Attend a Traditional Funeral at Tana Toraja
• Go Nature Trekking in Tangkoko National Forest
• Stay on a Private Beach in the Togean Islands
• Scuba Dive in Bunaken Marine Park
• Visit Paisupok, the Clearest Lake in Indonesia

🚴‍♀️  How to Get Around

Sulawesi is a huge island, and requires a mix of local flights, driving services, ferries, and public transportation to fully navigate. I recommend taking a tour that organizes the transportation for you if it’s in your budget.

🚌  Best Tours  

• 4-Day All-Inclusive Toraja Cultural Tour
• 15-Day All-Inclusive Sulawesi Adventure Tour  
• 3-Day Tana Toraja Highlights Tour

✈️  How to Get There  

You have to take a domestic flight to Sulawesi. Direct flights operate from all major cities in Indonesia to Manado on the North of the Island and Makassar in the south.

I don’t recommend buying a round-trip ticket for Sulawesi. the Tourist Trail has you traveling to/from North to South so it makes the most sense to book one flight going in to one airport and out the other.

⭐️ Is Sulawesi Worth Visiting?

Sulawesi is one of my favorite places in Indonesia, but it’s not for everyone. The infrastructure is much rougher than in Bali. If you’re interested in cultural tourism, there’s no better spot than Tana Toraja Funeral Village. If you’re an adventurous traveler I recommend exploring the entire island.

All About Sulawesi & Tana Toraja

Sulawesi is a major island in Indonesia that has started to make a name for itself as an amazing, off-the-beaten-path tourist destination. Home to world-class diving, nature reserves, tropical islands, waterfalls, etc, it’s amazing that most travelers visiting Bali have never heard of it.

In Sulawesi, the crown jewel for tourism is Tana Toraja Village. Often referred to as Indonesia’s “Funeral Village”, Tana Toraja is a traditional town in Indonesia where funerals are highly celebrated and very expensive. Similar to how in some cultures weddings are the highlight of one’s life, in Toraja, it’s all about their funerals! 

Frequently costing as much as 50,000 US Dollars, funerals in Toraja are massive events that attract visitors from all over the world. In addition to the massive funeral celebrations, Toraja also has ritualistic burial sites that date back thousands of years. My favorite site to visit was Londa Funeral Cave, where you can explore massive natural catacombs and see how burial traditions have changed as Toraja became a majority Catholic culture and blended that with their original beliefs. 

How Long Should You Spend in Sulawesi? 

For just Tana Toraja, 3 – 5 days should be enough to see the highlights. If you want to explore the island of Sulawesi, I recommend at least 2 weeks. I spent 17 days, around 2.5 weeks, exploring the island of Sulawesi. While I think that was an adequate amount of time, there were still some amazing sites that we didn’t get to see. Truth be told, I could have easily spent a month or more in Sulawesi without getting bored!

Top 10 Best Things to Do in Sulawesi

1. visit tana toraja funeral village.

I enjoy cultural travel destinations, and visiting Toraja for a funeral ceremony takes the cake of all the experiences I’ve had in Indonesia. Toraja is also known as Indonesia’s “Funeral Village”, or less-charmingly, “Death Village”. While some cultures celebrate weddings, Toraja is  all about funerals.  A Torajan funeral ceremony can frequently cost the families 20-30,000 US dollars, as the ceremonies go on for days and involve sacrificing buffalo – Albino or spotted buffalos can cost $30,000,  each ! 

They have a very different idea of death in Torajan culture than we do in the West. While traveling in Toraja, we saw relatives happy to see their deceased loved ones again during the Ma’Nene ceremonies, dressing up the corpse even joking around and putting sunglasses on it (!!!).  If you’re squeamish about dead bodies, Toraja might not be your idea of a travel destination, but it’s certainly interesting. 

👉 My Favorite Things to Do in Tana Toraja 

✔️  Attend a “Ma’Nene” ceremony  – Where the relatives of the deceased uncover the corpses of their relatives every 3 years and redress them.  

✔️  Attend a Torajan Funeral  – Typically lasting over 3 days, the funerals are large ceremonies. Bring cigarettes or some other offering for the families, and enjoy eating lunch with the locals. 

✔️  Visit Londa Funeral Cave  – Going caving through Londa, led by a guide and a gaslamp through the Torajan catacombs, was the most interesting thing we did in Sulawesi. 

✔️  Visit Bori Kalimbuang  – UNESCO world heritage site. 

2. Stay On a Private Beach in the Togean Islands

The Togean Islands are a gorgeous hidden-gem archipelago off the coast of Sulawesi. You can reach the Togeans by taking an overnight local ferry from Gorontalo, or a 2-hour fast-boat from Ampana. The Togeans have a ton of resorts scattered around on different secluded beaches. Typically, resorts in the Togeans are all-inclusive, meaning you’ll have all of your meals at the resort.

🏨 Where to Stay: We chose Sera Beach Resort because it has one of the better private beaches, but due to its remote location in the Togeans, it has fewer amenities than those closer to the main port.

👉 Be Ready to Rough It: We only had electricity from 7-9 PM every night, there was no AC in the rooms, and no cellular access or wifi. I loved the Togeans, but they’re not for everyone!

3. Swim With the Stingless Jellyfish in the Togeans

You can swim with the wild stingless jellyfish in a brackish lake in the Togean Islands. Once upon a time, the lake was open to the ocean. That’s why the water is brackish rather than freshwater. As the millennia went by, the inlet naturally closed itself to the ocean and became a lake, containing jellyfish within it. Without sea turtles and other natural predators, the jellyfish in the lake evolved to lose their stingers, since they didn’t need them to defend themselves. I also swam with the stingless jellyfish in Siargao , in the Philippines, and the jellyfish lake in Sulawesi gets far fewer tourists – We were the only people there when we visited the jellyfish lake in the Togeans!

4. See the Wild Tarsiers at Tangkoko Nature Reserve

Tangkoko Nature Reserve is one of the only places in the world where you can see wild Tarsiers. The most popular way to visit Tangkoko Nature Reserve is by staying in a lodge near the park and taking sunrise and sunset nature walks. Tarsiers only come out around dusk, I immensely enjoyed our walk to the Tarsier’s tree where we got to watch them emerge from their nests as the sun went down. In addition to the Tarsiers, there are also Black Macaques. I know that there are plenty of monkeys in Bali , but something about seeing them up close and in the wild in Tangkoko was extra special.

5. Swim With the Whale Sharks in Gorontalo

Off the coast of Gorontalo, a port town where you can take an overnight ferry to the Togean Islands, you can swim with the wild whale sharks every morning. The Whale Sharks started coming off the coast of Gorontalo around 15 years ago when a fish processing plant was built in the town. Feasting on the waste from the plant, the Whale Sharks started annually migrating there. Ingenuous locals decided to capitalize on their new wildlife and now Whale Shark snorkeling tours have become one of the most popular things to do in the area.

N ote: Do know that the whale sharks are wild animals, and are not always at the morning snorkeling spot.

6. Go Scuba Diving in Bunaken National Marine Park

Bunaken National Marine Park, located in the Manado Bay of northern Sulawesi, stands out as one of the premier scuba diving destinations in the country. I’ve heard it compared to the renown Raja Ampat, but I wouldn’t know because I do not know how to dive! Even If you don’t scuba dive, the crystal-clear waters surrounding Bunaken offer fantastic snorkeling opportunities.

7. Take in the Volcano Views in Tomahon

Tomahon was an unexpected hit. We stayed there one night in between visiting Tangkoko Nature Reserve and Gorontalo, but I could have easily stayed a few more days. There are these amazing hotels in Tomahon that have views of the volcano and little photo nests set up for tourists. If you have more time in Tomahon, you can do a trek partially or all the way up the volcano.

🏨 Where to Stay in Tomahon

• Gardenia Country Inn – This gorgeous hotel with volcano views has a fairy-tale village aesthetic.

8. Visit an Extreme Market

Eating exotic animals isn’t really my idea of a good time, but I should mention that Sulawesi’s “Extreme Markets” are pretty famous. In the Extreme Market in Tomahon,, you can eat local Indonesian street food , as well as snakes, rats, bats, and sadly, dogs.

9. Swim in Saluopa Waterfall in Tentena

Saluopa Waterfall is the main attraction in Tentena, a stopover town between the Togean Islands and Tana Toraja Village. Featuring a cascading waterfall that drops into different tiers of natural pools you can swim in, Saluopa is a beautiful waterfall that rivals any I’ve visited in Indonesia.

Katie’s Tips ✶

Saluopa Waterfall is very popular in the local community, get there as soon as it opens if you want to have a swim to yourself!

10. Visit the Banggai Islands & Famous Paisu Pok Lake

Photos of the crystal clear waters of the Paisu Pok Lake have been making the rounds on Instagram lately, launching the remote Banggai Islands Archipelago into social media stardom. To get to the Banggai Islands you first need to reach Luwuk, which has a local airport where daily flights run from Manado (North Sulawesi), and Makassar (South Sulawesi). From Luwuk you can take a ferry to the Banggai Islands.

My Top Travel Tips for Sulawesi 

✅ be ready to rough it a little bit.

Sulawesi was not an easy destination to travel in compared to Indonesia’s more convenient tourist paradises like Bali. We had to do a lot of lengthy travel days to fit everything we wanted to do in Sulawesi into the three weeks we were there. This included 14-hour local ferries, and overnight car and bus rides. As well as lots of nights in 3-star hotels in the middle of nowhere with no AC or internet -This is what we did, but it’s by no means necessary for all travelers. Sulawesi is huge, way bigger than Bali – There are areas of Sulawesi with 5-star hotels and local airports, and areas on tiny remote islands off the mainland with barely any electricity. It’s what you make of it. If you choose to take internal flights rather than overland transport and do a more simplistic travel itinerary of Sulawesi, you can cut down on a lot of the long travel days we did.

✅ I Wouldn’t Recommend Sulawesi for Solo Travel

As I mentioned before, Sulawesi doesn’t get that many travelers. I wouldn’t feel confident recommending it for solo backpackers if making friends on the road is important to you. We did meet some people in our three weeks in Sulawesi, but they were mostly couples and families.

Is Sulawesi Worth Visiting? My Take

I absolutely  loved  my three weeks traveling in Sulawesi and fully believe it to be worth the trip. I  live in Bali , and while it’s paradise in my opinion, Bali is infamously crowded. In Sulawesi, you get the feeling that what you are seeing is more natural, untouched, and unique. I highly recommend Sulawesi overall for travelers who are interested in natural wonders, and Tana Toraja for those who love locations with cultural significance. I had visited  Wae Rebo  in Flores, another traditional village in Indonesia, and Toraja was just a step beyond – The way that everything there, from the food to the architecture, is so different from the rest of Indonesia, it feels like you’ve traveled to a new country! 

Top 3 Toraja & Sulawesi Tours

How to Get to Sulawesi from Bali 

The easiest way to get to Sulawesi from Bali is by taking a short flight. You can start your tour in the south, in Makassar city, or in the north, at Manado City. Both cities have airports that are served with flights to/from Bali multiple times a day.

How to Get to Tana Toraja

To get to/from Makassar to Toraja you can take an overnight bus designed for the many Torajans that commute to Makassar. These buses are VIP and super comfortable, with padded beds and blankets. Or, if you don’t have the time for a bus, you can also take a short flight to Toraja’s new airport.

💰  Budget Tip!  Tours to Tana Toraja usually include a private car transfer from Makassar, when booked independently this can cost up to $250. 

Sulawesi Travel Itinerary 

There’s a set tourist trail in Sulawesi, usually starting from the north of the island in Manadao or the south in Makassar. We started our travels in the North, and here’s an example of Sulawesi’s tourist trail going from North to South: You can edit the amount of time you spend in each location, but this is the most you can fit into a 14-day Sulawesi itinerary:

• Fly into Manado
• Go scuba diving at Bunaken – 2 Nights
• Visit Tangkoko National Park to see macaques and tarsiers – 2 Nights
• Stay at a volcano-view hotel in Tomahon – 1 Night
• Go swimming with the whale sharks in Gorontalo – 1 Night
• Take the overnight ferry from Gorontalo to the Togean Islands – 3 Nights
• Swim with the stingless jellyfish in the Togeans  
• Take a speedboat to Ampana, drive to Tentena – 1 Night
• Visit the waterfall and stay a night in Tentena
• Stay in Toraja for a traditional funeral – 3 Nights
• Take the overnight bus or fly to Makassar, where you can depart back to Bali or other Indonesian islands.  

Tip!  You can reverse this itinerary and start your tour

Is Sulawesi Safe for Tourists? 

I never felt unsafe traveling in Sulawesi, neither as a female nor as a foreigner. That being said, no international travel comes without risks. Sulawesi is the least developed island I’ve been to in Indonesia, and it’s also the least touristed. Frequently, we would be included in just a handful of foreigners wherever we were – and we were traveling to all the top tourist spots on the island! 

There was a lot of charm to this, being off the beaten path and all, but there were also some downsides to standing out so much. For example, while we were able to  rent scooters like in Bali  and drive ourselves around Tana Toraja, we were told that a foreigner driving in Gorontalo would be unheard of. We would stand out too much, and no one was willing to rent to us. 

You also get a lot of attention as a foreigner in Toraja. Every other second we were being dragged to take photos with people – Then a photo shoot would last 15 minutes, at least, as everyone wanted a picture with the odd foreigners 😂.

15 Best Places to Visit in Sulawesi (Indonesia)

Sulawesi is one of the main islands of Indonesia and enjoys a strong domestic tourist market, making it one of the top travel destinations in the country. Foreign visitors to Indonesia however often leave it off the list in favor of Lombok or Bali, but anyone willing to make the trip will be rewarded with amazing attractions and some truly stunning scenery.

Sulawesi is divided up into North, South and Central Sulawesi and is also surrounded by a wide variety of islands. This means that it can take a little longer to get around, but it also means that there is just so much to explore here and each region has a unique flavor to it. As a result, you can flit from tropical islands to big cities, and this is also a chance to see how Indonesia’s Christian community lives, as the majority of inhabitants here are Christians which is a marked difference to other islands like Java.

This island is also known for its strong and unique culture, as this is the home of the Toraja people, and you can visit a huge range of attractions here that will fill you in on all the history of Sulawesi and its inhabitants. As well as a chance to see a completely different culture to much of Indonesia, Sulawesi also has some of the best diving opportunities in the archipelago and diving aficionados have been coming for years due to the visibility and amazing range of sea creatures found in these waters.

Let’s explore the best places to visit in Sulawesi :

1. Makassar

Makassar is also sometimes referred to as Ujung Pandang and is the capital city of the south of the island.

Most people use Makassar as a way of entering and exiting Sulawesi, but if you are in town then make the most of it by visiting some of its main attractions.

One of these is Fort Rotterdam which was built during the Dutch colonial period, as well as Losari Beach which is a pretty and unexpected tropical delight.

From Makassar you can also easily travel to neighboring attractions like Tana Toraja and Pulau Khayangan.

2. The Wakatobi Islands

The Wakatobi Islands take their name from the first letters of the four islands in this archipelago is southern Sulawesi.

There are Wangi-Wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia, and Binongko and most people visit the islands for the splendid diving opportunities that abound here.

You can fly across to the Wakatobi Islands from Bali, although you will get a completely different beach experience as this is one of the remotest parts of Indonesia.

Expect jet blue seas and clean sands that stretch for miles on a visit here, which more than makes up for the journey.

3. Tana Toraja

Tana Toraja is probably the premium attraction in Sulawesi and it is here that you can learn all about the Torajan indigenous group who call this island home.

At Tana Toraja you can see how people have lived for centuries and there are a range of celebrations here that are unique to Sulawesi such as the elaborate funerals held here.

Make sure to look out for the grave sites which feature effigies of the dead, and you will also find ornate homes, traditional architecture, and local communities.

4. Lindu National Park

The Lindu National Park is located in Palu and even just getting there is something of an experience in itself.

The park sits at the end of a series of mountain roads, and when you get there you will find vast swathes of lush rainforest.

Those who love nature won’t be disappointed, and can enjoy colorful butterflies, majestic hornbills, and cheeky monkeys living in the forest.

The forest also abounds with indigenous exotic plants, and its location is so secluded that it truly feels like you are getting off the grid.

Located in Central Sulawesi, Tentena is best known for Poso Lake which sparkles with an azure hue and is not to be missed if you are in the area.

This is particularly true if you happen to be here in August and you can enjoy the annual Poso Festival which takes place at the lake.

Other attractions in the area include the Saloupa Waterfall, and if you are travelling across from North to South Sulawesi then Tetena makes a great place to stop off for a few days.

Manado is the capital city of North Sulawesi and also the second largest city in Sulawesi.

It is one of the most vibrant spots on the island and is famous for its mix of religious buildings such as Chinese temples and Christian churches.

It also has a rather unexpected attraction in the form of a statue of Jesus Christ which is the fourth tallest statue of its kind in the world.

As Indonesian is a predominantly Muslim country, with over 80% of the population believing in Islam, this kind of Christian architecture is unusual and definitely worth a visit if you are in Manado.

7. Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park

Located in Northern Sulawesi is the Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park which can be easily visited from the neighboring city of Gorontalo.

The main draw here is the acres of pristine rainforest and many tourists don’t make the trip here meaning that you are unlikely to be plagued by crowds and will be able to explore in peace.

There are a range of trails all over the park and you can either hire a guide or go it alone.

Whatever you decide you will find a plethora of plant and animal life here including monkeys, snakes, and birds.

8. Togean Islands

The Togean Islands are one of the best kept secrets in Indonesia, especially if you like diving and you want to check out some of the amazing underwater creatures in this part of the world.

It takes some effort to get to this small archipelago which sits in the Tomini Sea in the north of Sulawesi, but it is more than worth it for the pristine sands and sparkling turquoise seas.

Most people who do make the trip out here do so for the diving, but even if you don’t dive you can still enjoy this beachside paradise that is rarely visited by travelers to Indonesia.

Nature lovers should look no further than Tomohon if they want to see some of the best scenery and natural highlights of Sulawesi.

The big draw here is Mount Mahawu Volcano and this is a top spot if you like trekking, with several different routes and walks available up the mountainside depending on your time and budget.

From the volcano you can take in the lush rural highlands that Tomohon is famous for and you can also enjoy the little handicraft villages that are dotted around the area.

10. Tangkoko National Park

Tangkoko National Park sprawls over an impressive 9,000 hectares of land and is the home of some of the most amazing indigenous animals in North Sulawesi.

As you trek around the various trails in the park look out for tarsiers which have the claim to fame of being the smallest primate in the world as well as Black Crested Macaques which are indigenous to the island.

As with many attractions in Sulawesi, a trip to the park makes you feel as if you landed in the middle of nowhere, so if you are looking for a holiday that lets you get away from the crowds then this is the place to come.

11. Bunaken

Bunaken Island is one of the best places in the world to dive or snorkel, but because it takes some time to get here many people never get the opportunity to sample its underwater delights.

Bunaken is also part of a wider marine national park and has an impressive array of marine life including 70 different kinds of coral and 5 species of turtles.

On a dive trip here you can expect to see hundreds of species of colorful fish and if you are lucky you might also get the chance to see white and black tip reef sharks.

Other highlights include dugongs, pygmy seahorses, and barracuda.

12. Lembeh Island

If you travel to the city of Bitung you can easily hop across to Lembeh Island which is another one of Sulawesi’s premium diving spots.

The island is known for its muck diving and anyone who likes macro photography absolutely shouldn’t miss it off the itinerary.

The natural sediment on the sea floor here is home to a huge range of underwater critters like harlequin and skeleton shrimps as well as nudibranchs, blue ringed octopus, and orangutan crabs.

There is also an array of amazing fish such as sea robins, devil fish, and banded eels, and you may also see other creatures like banded sea snakes.

13. Lore Lindu National Park

Lore Lindu National park lies in the highlands of Central Sulawesi and is one of the nicest of all the national parks in the areas.

Due to the elevation you can enjoy sweeping views over the surrounding area and the flora and fauna here is superb, and many of the plants here are indigenous to the Besoa and Napu valleys.

You can trek all over the region although many of the trails here require several days to complete and you will need to hire a guide.

This also means that you will camp out overnight as part of a trek and many people find this experience is the highlight of a trip to Sulawesi.

14. Gorontalo

Most people treat Gorontalo as an entry and exit point for the Togean Islands, although this vibrant city should be a tourist hotspot in its own right.

The city is covered in pretty architecture from the Dutch colonial period and is also notable as it is close to a number of attractions just outside the city limits.

These include majestic waterfalls, bubbling hot springs, and colorful coral reefs, so whether you want to explore the city proper or check out the surrounding scenery, you won’t be disappointed if you spend a day or two here en-route to the Togean Islands.

15. Lake Tondano

Lake Tondano sits around 15 kilometers from Tomohon and if you are in the area then it is well worth the trek out here to take in the beautiful scenery and glassy waters.

You can rent a motorbike that will let you drive around the lake, and there are a variety of trails if you like hiking.

The scenery at the edges of the lake is stunning and it is popular with families who come here at the weekends, so if you are looking for a nice day trip from Tomohon then this is a top choice.

Sulawesi travel guide

It's little wonder that nature-lovers regard Sulawesi as paradise on earth, as its terrestrial fauna is a mosaic of Asian and Australian animals that has evolved into new species found nowhere else on the planet. The mountainous regions of the central highlands are separated by deep gorges and fast-flowing rivers, and are dotted with highland lakes. In the lush rainforests – such as in Lore Lindu National Park – live an astonishing array of mostly endemic fauna, including babirusa pig-deer, anoa dwarf buffalo, eccentric maleo birds, saucer-eyed tarsiers and scores of fabulous butterflies.

The waters surrounding the island are equally compelling. Teeming with an incredible abundance of marine life, rich coral reefs, underwater valleys and vertical drop-offs, coupled with crystal-clear waters and white-sand beaches, they really are a paradise for divers and snorkellers. Long known to the international diving community is Bunaken Marine National Park on the far northeastern tip of the island. Further northeast, more islands are being developed for marine tourism. Together with Wakatobi Marine National Park – located in the Coral Triangle in the southeastern quadrant – they may soon replace Bunaken in popularity. The Togian Islands Marine National Park between the northern 'arms' of the islands is also attracting increasing attention, as is the Taka Bone Rate National Park off the southwest coast.

The population of nearly 17.5 million is also diverse, made up of peoples who speak more than 40 languages. Sulawesi, meaning Island ( sula ) of Iron ( wesi ), is aptly named for its rich deposits of nickel-iron, copper and gold. Its best-known tribes are the coastal Bugis, Indonesia’s primary shipbuilders and seafarers, and the Torajans whose arc-roofed houses and effigy-guarded burial caves decorate breathtakingly scenic valleys in the southwestern part of the island. But there are also the outspoken Makassarese of the area surrounding the capital city and the Minahasan in the northeast, whose favourite foods include rats and bats.

Places to visit in Sulawesi

Sulawesi Selatan

Striking landscapes and remarkable people are the hallmarks of Sulawesi Selatan (South Sulawesi). Makassar, its capital, is the largest city in eastern Indonesia and is a vibrant conglomerate of government offices, businesses and trade.

The coastal and lowland regions of South Sulawesi are inhabited mainly by the proud and outspoken Buginese. These Mongolian descendants are believed to have settled along these shores well over 1,000 years ago and have since had one of the more colourful histories of any Indonesian people. Also on the coasts are the Mandarese, renowned throughout the archipelago for their shipbuilding and expert sailing skills. 

It is Tana Toraja, however, that visitors come here to see. In the highlands at the northern end of the peninsula is a mountainous, landlocked region whose people retain ancient ways and take pride in their crescent-roofed homes. Toraja, as it’s fondly called, is certainly the Shangri-La of South Sulawesi.

Sulawesi Utara

Something of an anomaly, Sulawesi Utara (North Sulawesi) is a fertile, snake-like volcanic peninsula outstretched in the middle of the vast Maluku Sea. World-class diving surrounds the province, and a menagerie of exotic wildlife resides in its national parks and reserves.  

The full spectrum of diving activities ranges from magnificent coral gardens at Bunaken National Park and Bangka Strait to the underwater volcanoes at the Sangihe-Talaud islands and the unusual and rarely seen critters of Lembeh Strait. Land-based activities focus on rainforest hiking in Tangkoko-Dua Saudara Nature Reserve and Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, along with volcano-climbing, river-rafting, treks to powerful waterfalls and even golf. Exploring the scenic Tomohon-Tondano highlands area rounds out the choices. 

Nearly 2.5 million people make their homes in North Sulawesi, about 10 percent of whom reside in Manado, the pleasant provincial capital. The city lies at the foot of the lovely mountainous Minahasa region, which is dotted with active volcanoes, highland lakes and hot-water springs. Coconut plantations stretch for miles along the coasts (18,000 tonnes of copra are produced in North Sulawesi every month) that teem with fish and coral. Inland there are bountiful clove and coffee plantations, terraced rice fields and vegetable and flower gardens.

It's no wonder nature lovers regard Sulawesi in Indonesia as paradise on earth: its terrestrial fauna is a mosaic of Asian and Australian animals that have produced new species found nowhere else on the planet. The mountainous regions of the central highlands are separated by deep gorges and fast-flowing rivers. In the lush rainforests – such as in Lore Lindu National Park – live an astonishing array of endemic fauna, including babirusa pig deer and eccentric maleo birds. The waters surrounding the island are teeming with marine life, rich coral reefs, and underwater valleys. Plus some of the world's best diving.

Singapore & Bali - A Unique Exploration

Combine Southeast Asia's smallest country Singapore with its largest country: Indonesia. Spend a few days exploring the metropolis before flying to the magical island of Bali. Temples, volcanoes and ceremonies are part of your itinerary, as are the gorgeous beaches of Nusa Lembongan.

This strangely shaped island with unusual jagged contours contains an astonishing variety of life within its jungles and offshore reefs, as well as fascinating indigenous cultures.

To the north, islands are being developed for marine tourism. Together with Wakatobi Marine National Park – located in the Coral Triangle in the southeastern quadrant – they may soon replace Bunaken in popularity.

The Togian Islands Marine National Park between the northern ‘arms’ of the islands is also attracting increasing attention, as is the Taka Bone Rate National Park off the southwest coast. The population of nearly 18.5 million is also diverse, made up of people who speak more than 40 languages. Sulawesi, meaning Island (sula) of Iron (wesi), is aptly named for its rich deposits of nickel-iron, copper and gold.

Its best-known ethnic groups are the coastal Bugis, Indonesia’s primary shipbuilders and seafarers, and the Torajans, whose arc-roofed houses and effigy-guarded burial caves decorate breathtakingly scenic valleys in the southwestern part of the island. But there are also the Makassarese of the area surrounding the capital city, historical rivals of the Bugis for maritime mastery, and the proudly Christian Minahasan in the northeast, famed for their spicy cuisine.

From the castaway lifestyle of the isolated Togian Islands to enigmatic megaliths, pristine national parks and fabulous underwater scenery, nearly all the best things to do Sulawesi revolve around nature.

#1 Promenade in Pelabuhan Paotere at sunset

In the late afternoon, Pelabuhan Paotere in the northern part of Makassar makes a pleasant place to stroll and watch the activity aboard the many pinisi schooners. Pantai Losari, a sand-free seafront promenade and cruising strip, is a popular sunset gathering place. Also on Pantai Losari is Trans Studio Theme Park, a three-hectare (7.5-acre) indoor recreational centre with entertainment, safaris and rides inspired by children’s programming on the owners’ two television stations.

#2 See round-bellied pinisi (schooners) be built at Tana Beru

A breathtaking coastal road with steep precipices and spectacular views leads to Tana Beru, heart of the Bugis shipbuilding industry. Round-bellied pinisi (schooners) are still fashioned here with simple hand tools and without the use of metal or nails. Teak cords are hewn into planks, then fastened with wooden pegs according to an ancient design retained in the communal memory. Sails were once made of plaited banana and pineapple fibres, then later of woven cotton and silk.

Rituals are employed in all phases of construction, from the selection of the tree to the final launching, to ensure that the craft will be seaworthy. The finished 200-tonne pinisi or a lighter vessel called bago appear to be unstable until fully loaded with copra or timber – then they are among the best cargo ships afloat today

#3 Explore the remote Togian Islands

The remote, forest-capped Togian Islands are a huge Marine National Park consisting of 56 islands clustered in the calm, azure Tomini Bay. Sheer limestone cliffs, secluded white-sand beaches, and wonderful snorkelling and diving can be found here. Species to spot are hawksbill and green turtles, coconut crabs and dugongs.

The beautiful setting and relaxed pace often lull travellers into extending their stay to include trekking in the forests for many of Sulawesi’s unique birds and mammals. The Togians have a mixed population, though many villages are occupied by Bajau, the so-called ‘sea gypsies’ who once lived largely on boats and now dwell in stilt villages over the water. Isolated resorts are scattered across the Togians

#4 Summit Gunung Sesean from Batutumonga

The mountain village of Batutumonga offers spectacular views across the heart of Tana Toraja, especially at first light. Bag popular Gunung Sesean, a 2150m peak accessible via a 3.5km trail from Batutumonga. The views are incredible.

#5 Hike to the lesser-visited Mamasa

The 80km (50-mile) route connecting Toraja to neighbouring Mamasa offers an excellent introduction to rural life on Sulawesi. The entire route is now just about passable by jeep, but the section between Bittuang and Mamasa town is best traversed on foot. The journey takes two to three days, with accommodation in village homestays along the way.

Few travellers visit Mamasa, also known as West Toraja. As well as the mountain jeep/trekking route, it can be approached from Makassar – a hard 10–12 hours, and the road up from the coast west of Pare Pare. Mamasa’s spectacular villages rest on rugged tracks, but several are accessible with a jeep and a guide.

#6 Go wildlife-spotting at Tangkoko-Batuangas Nature Reserve

From Bitung, a fairly bumpy northern road winds through to the Tangkoko-Batuangas Nature Reserve, one of the most important places for terrestrial nature conservation in Minahasa. There are few places in the world where such a wide variety of habitats, plants and animals are crammed into one small forest (8,890 hectares/21,990 acres).

To date, scientists have documented 26 mammals, 18 birds, 15 reptiles and over 200 plant species here, including spectral tarsiers – one of the world’s smallest primates – troops of endangered crested black macaques, marsupial cuscus, endemic red-knobbed hornbills and eight species of kingfishers. Local guides are available at Batu Putih village at the entrance of the reserve.

#7 Dive at Bunaken Marine National Park

Manado is an excellent staging point for diving and snorkelling trips to Bunaken Marine National Park, 15km (10 miles) offshore. The coral reefs teem with thousands of species of colourful tropical fish along steep drop-offs that plunge thousands of metres into the abyss. Sea turtles, sharks and pods of dolphins make their way around the park, and there is also a World War IIera wreck to explore.

Further to the north, the 70-odd islands in the Sangihe-Talaud chain offer white-sand beaches and equally spectacular diving. Dotted with volcanoes and unusual rock formations, some of the islands are over 1,500 metres (4,920ft) high and are densely covered by coconut palms. Like most unspoiled areas, the islands are not easy to get to. Divers who are not deterred by the long journey and want to discover the unknown are rewarded with 60-metre (200ft) visibility and 100-year-old gigantic sponges.

Some of the other highlights include an underwater lava flow and Mahangetang, a submarine volcano that releases silver bubbles into the sea – an unforgettable sight.

#8 Snorkel at remote Taka Bonerate National Park

Another of Sulawesi’s difficult-to-reach locations, Taka Bonerate National Park appears to be in the middle of nowhere in the Flores Sea, some 30km (20 miles) offshore. The islands of Taka Bonerate (a Bugis name meaning ‘coral piled up on sand’) are surrounded by table reefs, making the marine park a paradise for snorkellers and divers, who can spot four species of endangered sea turtles, jackfish, eels, groupers and giant clams.

Underwater visibility is usually excellent, while above water the bird life is also of interest. The problem is getting there: the journey takes at least 14 hours from Makassar on a series of bus and boat rides, and the only accommodation on the islands is in villagers’ homes.

#9 Try some local delicacies in Tomohon

North Sulawesi is the only part of a strangely sprawling island that has volcanoes. Nestled between two of them, is Tomohon, meaning ‘people who pray’. The town is a bustling place with a pleasant climate. The large traditional market, uphill from the centre, is infamous for its grizzly array of exotic meats – from whole fruit bats to pythons. There are far less gruesome culinary attractions closer to the centre of town where a large array of colourful food-stalls and small roadside eateries operate.

Delicious pork sate (miniature kebabs) is a local favourite, and there are also some fine baked goods available. For energetic travellers, a trek to the top of either of Tomohon’s adjacent peaks, Lokon or Mahawu, is both challenging and worthwhile for spectacular views.

#10 Seek out the shy anoa in Bogani Nani Wartabone National

Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park (formerly called Dumoga Bone National Park), a vast mountainous rainforest rich in fruit-bearing trees such as durian, nutmeg and figs, and home to a collection of endemic Sulawesi animals including the babirusa (Sulawesi ‘pig-deer’) and the shy anoa.

The New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society, established in 1895, partners with a local conservation group to manage three of the largest communal nesting grounds for the maleo birds in the park. Its southern coast is the last known site of beach nests for this endangered land-bird.

Sulawesi offers a range of accommodation that starts from losmen (hostels) and lead all the way up to five-star diving resorts. The main cities of Makassar, Manado and Palu have the most choice, including a number of chain hotels. On the smaller islands and in the Central Highlands, homestays can be a good way to get an authentic local experience. Sometimes, they might be your only choice. On the whole, you won't need to book ahead.

North Sulawesi

With diving the most popular pull for the top end of the island, you can expect to find a number of equally top-end resorts along the coast. There are plenty of other options here too, from bungalows and hostels to decent cheap guesthouses.

South Sulawesi

Again, there are some excellent resorts along the coast near Makassar. The city itself is stuffed with high-rise hotels and lovely boutique boltholes too. The further away from the city you go, the more basic the accommodation, namely guesthouses.

Central Highlands

Tourism is a nascent industry in the hills and the choice of accommodation reflects that. Most town guesthouses will offer small, basic rooms. Consider booking a homestay.

Browse the best places to stay in Sulawesi .

Eating in Sulawesi means exploring a diverse range of dishes, particularly in the north where time-honoured Minahasan cuisine means bushmeat and seafood dishes that have been heavily fragranced by hot spices. There are plenty of Dutch and Chinese influences in the cooking here too.

Western-style food, like pizzas, is mainly found in the bigger cities. Don't miss the amazing, local coffee grown in the Sulawesi highlands. These are the best restaurants in Sulawesi.

Best places to eat in Sulawesi

• Coto Nusantara, Makassar The lunchtime queues at this Makassar institution are proof of just how good their coto Makassar (spiced beef stew with peanuts) is.
• Maminon Kitchen, Manado Serving updated Minahasan cuisines like smoked skipjack cooked in bamboo, this popular restaurant is one of the best on Sulawesi

Overland travel in Sulawesi is slow, because of the mountainous geography, and off the main cross-island highway road conditions are often poor. Travel by air is advised whenever possible.

Makassar is the provincial capital of Sulawesi and has the largest number of flights, including international connections to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. However, there are good connections in Manado, serving the north and gateway to Bunaken, and in Palu, with more limited connections to Gorontalo. Kendari is the entry point for Southeast Sulawesi, including Wakatobi.

By sea, PELNI is the main connection with other Indonesian islands. PELNI ferries schedule routes to the Wakatobi area, but are unreliable, making it best to use one of the fast boat services there.

Most visitors to Sulawesi will need at least a week to explore the island. This is because the distances are long between the major sights and transport across the island is slow. Seven days gives travellers enough time to visit Tana Toraja, see the beaches of Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, go diving at Bunaken Marine National Park and explore the bustle of Makassar. Throw in a hike or a visit to some of the smaller islands and you'll need at least 10 days here.

Due to the highlands, travelling around inland Sulawesi can be slow, cumbersome and frustrating. Travel air is advised whenever possible. The island is dotted with regional airports.

By mikrolet (private SUV)

These days, however, most locals and many tourists avoid the hassle of traveling out to the bus terminal and book door-to-door travel services instead. In Sulawesi these are usually large SUV type vehicles seating up to seven passengers. Most hotels will be able to book these ‘travel’ for you. Though slightly more expensive than buses, they will drop you directly to your chosen accommodation at the other end.

Air-conditioned buses are useful for longer distances, but travel times can be slow.

Good for travel around towns and cities, plus some shorter inter-city travel, air-con metered taxis can be hailed on the street or booked via phone.

PELNI ferries' scheduled routes will get you between some of the bigger islands off of Sulawesi. For shorter trips to smaller islands, expect speed boats. Note that bad weather can prevent ferries and boats from leaving.

By becak (pedicabs)

For short trips in cities, becak (pedicabs) are a cheap and environmentally-friendly way to get around.

Blessed with an abundance of natural beauty, the best time to visit Sulawesi is when it is looking its best. For diving, that means visiting from April to October when the seas are calmer and the visibility is at its furthest. Crossing the equator, Sulawesi has a tropical climate but the northern part of the island is subject to more rainfall than the southern half. Monsoon season is from November to April. Expect high humidity and regular downpours. The best time to visit is June to August which coincides with the elaborate funeral ceremonies of Tana Toraja.

Sulawesi Travel Guide

Your travel guide to Sulawesi, one of the four Greater Sunda Islands of Indonesia, is enormous in size and population. It is formerly known as Celebes to the Portuguese. The island’s shape is unique and easily recognized by many, aptly so, as the place is full of unique cultures, unexplored land, mountains, and even the sea.

Sulawesi’s population is 14 million, about 7% of Indonesia’s population, and the largest city here is Makassar . The majority religion is Islam, with the next substantial minority being Christianity. Sulawesi is also rich with various flora and fauna from Asian and Australasian species. The national parks that protect this rich ecosystem have been proposed for UNESCO World Heritage Site .

At the north, you will find the best dive sites of Indonesia , like Bunaken, crystal clear seas, and remote islands. In the south, the popular Tana Toraja has spellbound many travelers with its unique culture and rituals, whereby the funeral rites are since ancient times with elaborate death rituals.

Sulawesi Utara

The land of smiling people.

Towering volcanoes, coconut forests, vast jungles, unique villages, sun-kissed beach islands and smiling people are the first look the province. When you go deeper, you will be amazed by many features including rare and endemic creatures, coral reefs, spices and delicious foods.

North Sulawesi is a wonderful country with many things to see and to discover. We were acting as travelers and not tourists and what we saw will remain in our memories for a long time. People, culture are amazing in this part of the world. We never thought to find a such kindness from the local people. We were welcome everywhere we went and each time people welcome us we did not speak their language. Finally, I think that North Sulawesi has a lot to teach to the occidental world this is not the third world but really a first place to learn how to live together.

What People Say

Cette visite du Nord de Sulawesi, c’est décidée à cause de l’éruption du volcan Lokon mais si le volcan n’a pas montré grande activité, j’ai decouvert une très belle région, jolie, sympathique… Arlette France Il était important de visiter le pays du nord pour completer la visite de Sulawesi. À chaque région spécifite, ici la vue des volcans, les paysages maraïchers au gradieu, les maisons sur pilotis en cocotier, les lacs aux eaux sulfureuses… Nous avons pu apprécier la cuisine traditionnelle si raffinée, découvrir les visages sourriants des ses habitants.
