Whlist Bunaken Park an Lembeh Strait are world renowned for spectacular diving, the peninsular of North Sulawesi offers a great many other attractions for divers and non divers alike. We offer a wide variety of competitively priced tours over land and sea.

Sea Trips

Bahowo Lodge is ideally located for exploring the islands of Bunaken Park and the surrounding coastline. We have our own boat, “Hattie”, which will comfortably accommodate up to ten people. It is equipped with twi outboard engines, a sundeck and covered seating area. Why not take a trip to the beautiful, unspoilt, deserted white sand beaches of Siladen and Manado Tua islands, and spend the day snorkelling to explore the beautiful coral reefs, swimming and relaxing with a picnic/barbeque lunch on the beach.

For the more energetic we include a leisurely walk around part of Manado Tua island, stopping to visit the local villages and experience the fascinating scenery on the way, ending up on the beach for a cooling swim and lunch. Above the coconut line Manado Tua is a primary rainforest and some of our more adventurous guests have made it to the summit of this extinct volcano.

Bahowo Lodge has its own spectacular house – reef at Abang Point, just in front of the Lodge which is perfect for a snorkelling trip.

Bird Watching

Some of our guests come to Bahowo Lodge specifically to bird watch due the abundant and unique bird life around the Lodge and mangroves. Our boat is available to take you on a bird watching trip along the local mangrove coastline at sunset. Why not end your day with a leisurely cruise to watch the spectacular sunset over Manado Tua?
