ITINERARY BOOK
 


An unparalleled scuba diving experience is waiting for you in North Sulawesi! Gangga offers sensational diving where you can get up close and personal with diverse and remarkable sea life from both the Indian and the Pacific Oceans. The resort is an ideal starting point for the diving sites of Bangka Island, Bunaken National Marine Park and Lembeh Strait, making it a favorite destination for underwater photographers.

All our itineraries have generally been constructed on the basis of the rooms that have the most charm or best view, and not necessarily the first prices, nor the most expensive suites.
We can of course adjust according to your request.

Highlights of the Journey:

  • exotic underwater magic
  • tropical island
  • Minahasa culture

Manado: more than world-class diving locations.
Manado is among the highlights of diving in Indonesia, spread between several dive regions, including mainland Manado, Bunaken National Park, and Bangka Island. The clear, warm waters contain astonishingly high numbers of rare species, whether corals, sponges or fish and pristine reefs. The islands around Bunaken offer some of the best coral reef diving and the highest levels of biodiversity in the world, with large numbers of schooling fish racing by on most dives. Some of the best critter diving in the world is nearby in Lembeh Strait. Gangga Island is the ideal starting point for diving the Bangka Archipelago. In our packages, the dive guides will help you discover the marvelous underwater world and see the astonishingly rich variety of flora and fauna which delights underwater photographers. Many scientists of marine biology from all over the world come regularly to study and photograph the marine life found here.
