BITUNG SHORE EXCURSIONS: TANGKOKO RAINFOREST & MINAHASA HIGHLANDS

Bitung is a port in North Sulawesi, next to one of the best rainforest reserves in Indonesia.

Route 1: Tangkoko (about 6 to 7 hours)

A guided walk in Tangkoko Nature Reserve to find troops of crested black macaques, hornbills and, in their tree holes, tiny tarsiers. Paths are muddy; long trousers and closed shoes help against insects.

Route 2: Minahasa (about 7 hours)

The cool Minahasa highlands: the Waruga stone box tombs at Sawangan, villages and farms, and Lake Tondano.

• Send us your ship name, port date and docking hours, and we fit the route to them.
