Average snorkel but fun half day trip

The 45min drive along the coast road offers some spectacular viewpoints as well as passes the whale shark village and provide an opportunity to check if they are residence. Unfortunately they have not been seen since early 2016 so don’t get your hopes up too...More

If you are staying in Gorontallo, you will check this activity and the hour to commute to go to this beach is not worth it Small town along the beach is full of plastic bottles laying on the ground and other garbage. If you have...More

Excellent place for snorkeling

Excellent place for snorkeling. The guide (the glass boat operator) will take a underwater photo of you even if you can not dive using a snorkel and makes you "a pro" diver. The negative point is that there were so many plastic trash everywhere...
