For those who know us, this is a kind of "back home" cruise in an area that we very well know because we started operating in these areas of Sulawesi in early 2000.
Two itineraries that visit the East coast of Sulawesi and the Togian islands and end in Luwuk. Beautiful dive sites on the East Coast in Ratatotok, Tanjung Flesko, and Gorontalo (fabulous walls and whale sharks !). We then dive the best spots of the Togian islands, especially around the islands of Una2. The last two days were spent in the Tompotika area, where Wallacea recently set up a dive resort, Tompotika Dive Lodge, just because we found spots among Indonesia's best dive sites!
