Manado Walking Tour
Manado, Indonesia
Why Walk Manado
Manado sits on the tip of North Sulawesi's Minahasa Peninsula, surrounded by volcanic peaks and coral reefs. Bunaken National Marine Park, just offshore, has some of the richest marine biodiversity on the planet — vertical coral walls dropping hundreds of meters and over 390 coral species. The Minahasa Highlands behind the city feature active volcanoes, highland lakes, and the Tangkoko Nature Reserve, home to the world's smallest primate, the tarsier.
