The 49 best beaches in and around Sulawesi

A stunning diving destination. No sunscreen or insect repellant available on Tomea. People are warm & friendly. The islands are stunning. They have an issue with plastic pollution. I hope the government & locals look into alternative solutions to single use plastics on the islands.

This is a place where you would want to come back and come back again. Well known and promoted for its underwater tourism, Wakatobi National Park indeed has an amazing biodiversity, almost unlike anywhere else you've probably been. Just a few meters from the shore you can enjoy colorful corals and fish in various depth. For amateurs in diving, cheer up because here, even only snorkeling will cause you an inevitable joy! Moreover, Wakatobi offers another cool things: the land tourism, rich of heritage and history. You may consider visiting one of the villages, Mola, a village particularly lived by Bajo (the used-to-be sea gypsies and now are still living on the (half-reclamated) sea) and explore culture tourism they are developing. Have the experience of "Dolphin Watching Tour" with local fishers at dawn, learning a lot about the so-called fishers' keepers from the guide. Followed by a "Walking Tour" around the village to see the making of their traditional boats, souvenirs, traditional swimming glasses, traditional foods, as well as activities in the traditional market where you can see some people actually go shopping on boats through canals, and fishers who just got back from their sail, stock up the vendors with fresh seafood. If you are lucky, you can watch how locals conduct their mystical ceremonies for sick people in which they also perform traditional dances. See it for yourself how fishers work in the "Canoeing Tour": how they cultivate lobsters and other kind of fish. Learn the process and try fishing there, too! You will also see how tuna is being processed, the grades and market targets of each grade. Late at night, find yourself lost under the sky full of stars while listening to local guides explaining myths and traditional navigation and weather forecast using stars in "Star Gazing Tour". Find yourself amused and amazed as they introduce you to various key stars while looking at them through a pair of binoculars and stars map they provide. In between of those tours, keep your tummy happy by tasting the hearty local foods from appetizer to dessert, cooked by a group of women who's been learning the skill since they were just school girls. Interact with locals. See mothers with special powder on their face feeding babies, little kids row their boats to the bridge to go to schools while free-falling to the sea from their houses or the edges of canals, swim and free-dive as easily as we use our feet to walk, spending the rest of afternoon catching Tetehes (sea urchins), sea cucumbers, or scallops at low tide in the neighborhood, as a constant rhythm in their childhood. Go there empty-hearted, go home rich.

A place where you would want to come back and come back again. It is precisely the nickname "Heaven under the Sea", but on land, Facilities and Infrastructure is still limited, ranging from Aviation, Hotels and transportation. The underwater scenery is very beautiful and the people are friendly

Its for the first time I visit Wakatobi. I stay in the Wisata Hotel and visit Huma La kapala. Huma means a house that builds for Fisher in the middle of ocean. I enjoying the meal and waiting for the sunset. I'll stay in Wakatobi for 4 days and I hope I can get some wonderful experiences here. It's an honor to be here.

It is difficult to get there and to get around when there. Spectacular sceneries, a lot of mosquitos, some snakes and unfortunately a lot of plastic waste. All in all worth it, I would recommend it. Tourism initiatives should be coordinated to minimise the ecological impact and the local communities should be educated with regards to the management of the environment, to keep this paradise as it is.

Warm atmosphere, great diving place and snorkeling, cycling, swimming in the water cave, beaches, enjoying sun-sets, fort, nice local food, minimalist accommodations, great peoples. Typically a perfect place to escape and chill out.

We didn't make it as far as the national park proper, but we stayed in the main village on Wangi Wangi Island. The snorkelling is amazing, thanks to the still-unspoiled-by-tourism reef. We stayed with a family there, so we got to see the real culture of Wakatobi. A bonus was that they live 100m from Goa Kontamale Wanci, an open cave with an inlet from the sea. The local market is lively and probably the cleanest of its kind I've ever seen in Indonesia.

a beautiful serene beach for snorkeling, you should take a boat for about 100k 150k rupiah per boat to go to snorkeling spot called ‘virgin beach’ and askes the boatman to pick up whenever you want to go back

If you're looking for a budget friendly beach in Likupang with affordable homestays. Pulisan beach would probably suit your taste. A lot of activities to do like beach hopping, hiking, canoeing, and banana boat. If you're a beginner diver/snorkeler/freediver this is a good place to build your confidence. The beach can be a bit crowded during the weekends and tend to be an extreme opposite during the weekdays.

✔I Ordered some tickets to go inside this beach, i forgot the price, but as i remember its so cheap👌 Better you go this beach in the early morning maybe 6-7am. Still become your private beach💕 therr's no people, heheh... You can rent a boat to go another private island, per person 20k rupiah (pp). The island so beautiful and you can climb the mountain also👌 ✔The atmosphere was beautiful... but for the sands, better paal beach, than Pulisan beach. ✔The service was pretty good, lots of local people who run the bussiness in here.

Enter with car Rp15.000/car. Better swim at front island. The beach so good and clean. There's people house near the beach for bath after swim !!!

CAR ENTERANS FEE IDR 40.000. RENT SEAT WITH 1 TABLE & 2 LONG CHAIRS FOE 8 PEOPLE IDR 50.000. RENT FOR BIG TENT IS IDR 200.000 FOR 20 PEOPLE IDR 200.000.

Its a percentage place to escape, only driving 2 hours from manado, and don't forgot to visit the hill, thay have a beautiful panorama

Nice little beach area. Small waves blue water and white sands. Some warung around and when we were there it's so quiet, a bliss. Need a bit of more cleanjng though.

gorgeous beach but just so sad about the amount of waste on the beach. sharp glass and plastic bottles hidden in the sand - please be aware of your footing. i am not sure what the 55K tourist fee is for per person but there doesn’t appear to be much of an effort to use this money to benefit the environment.

Cool place for leaisure and outbond. We got chance to held capacity building here, and its kinda worth the 5 hours tiring travel.

My visit to tanjung bira is amazing, I recommend going to the beach in the morning or afternoon because the sun is unbearable. Prepare sunscreen, extra money for shower, and don't forget to support local craft that was sold in the beach area. If you want you can rent a boat to cross the beach and head to an island surrounding the beach or even rent a banana boat. The beach has some sharp dead corals so watch your step but other than that it was amazing, also there are a lot of houses and even hotels for you to stay in the beach, the sunset and sunrise in so beautiful here.

Wonderful beach with clean water, white and smooth sands and amazing view. This is definitely perfect place spending your holiday. Will give 5 star but rubbish still everywhere so should be better if visitor look after this place. And access to go to this beach is not really good so hopefully government will fix the road so it is easy for visitor to come. Oh and there are plenty local shop here so don’t worry about being starving 😉😉

White and smooth sand, great views and calm waves. The entrance fee is quite affordable for adults 15 thousand, children 5 thousand, cars 10 thousand. In Tanjung Bara, add 20 thousand parking. Ordinary public facilities, maybe because of the pandemic period it was still quiet.

The sand was well kneaded like flour. You can only take bath 10 meter far because the rock was very closed. Nice view sunset. Local come here every weekend to relax. But foreigner have to pay 40k entrance fee of tourist place. I've never experience anywhere they charge for natural beach. And I'm not happy when the guy explain because here is Indonesia. Hm...He could explain for enviroment protection or any reservation, we're willing to pay.But I do not agree that is nice way to atract tourist. And the day we left, taxi driver bring us to senseless arguing which bring us more distance with Bira. Please be careful with this blue taxi in the picture below. He raised price from 80k to 100k with reason there is no more customers at the last bench. ( normally, space is for 3 people, that day only 2 of us ). Catch customers is his task, not our task. Why we have to be responsible !! In additional, the previous night, we didn't get any feedback from him when we booked via one guy from Bamboo Warung. We thought the price is fixed. How could we understand for that situation happened suddenly?!! And when we didn't agree, he bring our luggages back on the ground. The most unpleasure thing is HE TOOK THE METAL CAR PREPARED TOY AND ALMOST READY TO HIT MY PARTNER. I do not support for any potential violent.

Beautiful white sand beach in South Sulawesi. The flour sand, blue tosca water, and calm wave become the best hideaway for any visitor

One of the best dive resorts anywhere! Fabulous diving, great staff and guides, incredible accommodations!

Amazing, nice people, food and culture. The fish very fresh. Note: the hospital and health care not complete, first health care facility only. You must travel to nearby city/town for specialist doctor. Nearby town Bau2 and kendari. 4-6 hour by ship.

Beautiful place

Speechlessssssssss😲😲😲. Proud of my islandddd Tomiaaaaa WAKATOBI

Very good

Diving in here is amazing

GG

My First Time at Fort Rotterdam My first visit to Fort Rotterdam was really cool. As soon as I got there, I was impressed by how unique the place looked. The old Dutch-style buildings with their red roofs and thick walls really gave off a historical vibe. It felt like stepping back in time. I walked around the fort, checked out the buildings, and just enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The palm trees and the green grass made the place feel calm and relaxing. It was interesting to imagine what life was like here in the past. Overall, I had a great time. Fort Rotterdam is a nice spot to chill, take photos, and learn a bit of history. I’d definitely recommend it if you're ever in Makassar!

(05/2025) A small, well-kept fort with very friendly staff. Entry to the fort is free; the museum costs 10,000. We happened to visit during a cultural event and met lots of lovely people (shout-out to the best security team — Flobamora Bodyguard!).

Fort Rotterdam is one of Makassar’s most iconic historical landmarks—a well-preserved 17th-century Dutch fort that also bears the legacy of the once-mighty Gowa Sultanate. Rich in cultural significance, the site offers a fascinating glimpse into colonial-era architecture, Indonesian resistance history, and the unique blend of Dutch and Makassar heritage.

If you are visiting Makassar, the “Gateway to East Indonesia”, you need to appreciate the cities history. Come visit this old Dutch fort, admire its architecture, take in the significance of its place in Dutch Colonial history. The fort itself is well preserved and the grounds are beautiful. A must visit!

Fort Rotterdam is a 17th century fort in Makassar, it is a Dutch fort that was built on top of an existing fort of the Gowa Kingdom The ticket is free and there's a local guide here and I was offered for 150.000 IDR (I didn't take it) There's a museum inside the fort, the fee is cheap only 5.000 IDR for adult, you can see and learn the journey of Gowa Kingdom and its collection You also can explore the other side of the fort

Nice historical place to see and imagine how it looks like in it's glorious past. Unfortunately that's it, you have to leave everything to imagination because the place is run down and lacking in maintenance. You may walk around the compound free but you buy a ticket 10kRP for entry to their 'museum' which is sadly non-AC and sad looking. There are 3rd party guides available for hire at the entrance and that might help understand more about it's history. I paid for the museum because I'm hoping they'll use the funds for the much needed upkeep.

This place is undoubtedly beautiful, it has potential. It needs better management. Most of the buildings can't be entered. Museum exhibits are poorly presented (Most of them have no proper lighting or no lighting at all). It needs more English signs and map. Some exhibits have English. Lots of areas are used for other purposes (I think there are people living there as i see clothing lines). Lot's of building materials scattered in the Premysis. I even found old sofas stacked on the second floor of a building C. I hope the government will fix it, so i will be able to change the rating. Maybe try to learn from Vredeburg Museum in Yogyakarta

I visited the BantimuruNg Waterfall which had easy access from the main road. The entrance fee is IDR30k for locals and 200k for foreigners. The area itself had various trek and spots to take pictures and marvel at the beauty of the waterfall. They also had a kayak rent, cave sightings, and butterfly museum (which was closed when I visited). You can swim freely in the area as plenty of family do that and bring your own food for a picnic inside. However, the management of the place was quite bad and many infrastructure had been decayed and dirty. If you just walk along the trek and path, it's still beautiful. Beware, there are plenty of tour guides offering their service to you. There are also freelance photographer inside that use their DSLR to take pictures od you (without your consent) and offer to transfer it to your smartphone for IDR 5k per picture. There are also some locals that demanded to give them some money because they helped to clean and maintain the place.

This waterfall is very beautiful and a must-see. It gets very crowded on weekends. People gather from all over the area to play and swim there. It has very beautiful nature, with high mountains and mountains full of trees. And it's still not far from Makassar, it's very close, and wherever you go, the ticket is also convenient. And also You can take food with you or order food there.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was a good concept but like typical place in Indonesia, it was lack of maintenance and not clean. Good for locals to do picnic. A very good and beautiful nature that needs more love not just being abuzed to produce money for certain individuals. It's ok to visit but not a must.

I recently visited the Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park, and it was an unforgettable experience. Located in Maros, South Sulawesi, this park is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Stunning Scenery The park's scenery is breathtaking, with lush green forests, towering limestone cliffs, and picturesque waterfalls. The Karst landscape is unique and fascinating, with its distinctive rock formations and caves. Diverse Wildlife Bantimurung Bulusaraung is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including butterflies, birds, and monkeys. I was thrilled to spot some rare species, including the Tarsier and the Macaque. Exciting Activities The park offers a range of exciting activities, including hiking, rock climbing, and caving. I opted for a guided hike, which took me through the forest and offered stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Overall, my visit to Bantimurung Bulusaraung National Park was an unforgettable experience. The park's stunning scenery, diverse wildlife, and exciting activities make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in nature and adventure. I highly recommend it! Rating: 5/5

This is a great place and easily becomes nice instagrammable spots to take pictures of the waterfall, creeks and ponds. It takes around an hour drive from Makassar to reach the area. I have no idea but I don't see too many butterflies as this place is called "kingdom of butterflies" during my visit. If you take the path around the small hill, you would reach a stone cave where you could explore it if that's your things. But when the guide there told me that there's actually another small pond that'd been closed to the visitors due to some accidents involved, where the scenery is even better. Well, we managed to persuade the guide to take us there after a strict promise that we won't take a dip or swim inside the pond. After some steep walks, we managed to reach the spot and yes, it was indeed worth seeing. My only negative rating of this tourist area is that it is currently not well maintained. While it should be a great tourist attraction, I saw collapsed concrete railings on the path to the cave and other maintenance needs to be conducted to make this place better.

so genuine..so freshhhh..sooo originaalll...!!!! even the tour guide said all that not allowed to give food to the wild monkeys and/or wild boar inside the forest in order not to break the ecosystem and not to break their body chemicals, so let the wild keep eating something wild and natural also from the forest..and we as the visitors have to be discipline for that rules in order to keep them on track as well😎👍🙌💪🔥🥰 however..as usual other tourism places..somehow its not well maintained hiks..while it is truly such a legacyyyyy for our country🥺🙏 anyway i also attach the video courtessy of my lil sis how gorgeous the bantimurung lake with so many butterflies!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🙌🙌👍🙌

Beautiful place with huge potential but it's visibly not well maintained. The infrastructure is just dilapidated, with a premium ticket price, it's just quite a shame.

Good beach. I think they need to develop the surroundings. Pay someone to clean it up every day, build some basic and clean infrastructure like toilets and showers. Tourists will not come back if it's not hygienic. Especially foreigners. Also build some basic cafes and restaurants. Then make people pay a small fee to access the whole lot. I'm sure they won't mind if the place has good facilities. I won't. Then in a few years it might get more crowded. Hopefully the authorities will be able to handle the crowds by investing in the area properly. Make it nice, please. Don't ruin it. 💜 PS: don't pet the dogs. They might carry rabies. I totally forgot about that.

I recommend you to come here on weekdays cause it should not packed like weekend. Enjoy the serene vibes of the ocean's wave and blue skies.

We got there early at around 6:30 am, and there was nobody there. We got the beach to ourselves! The entrance is good enough, quite clean though there are bits of trash. You'll have to pay for a table with lounge. There's a public toilet that you'll have to pay, even for washing/ showering. Recommended for sunrise.

The almost-4-hour journey was worth it! The beach was natural and clean. The locals was friendly and helpful. The nearby changing room / toilet was appropriately clean, and the fees was reasonably cheap. We paid 40k for the entrance ticket (one car, passengers not counted), 150k for a booth and benches + umbrella to sit on the beach for the whole day (the booth was big), and 5k per person to use a shower. The snacks offered was cheap as well. However, it will get very crowded on holidays after 12 p.m. If possible, come earlier. A local said that the door is already opened at 6 a.m. (not tested, I arrived at around 10).

Beach with huge tourism potential. The white sand is soft, water is clear. Having a nice little “forest” feature. A little bit hard to reach this beach because the road haven’t been covered with asphalt yet, but it offers a good adventurous trail

🏖Georgeous Beach👏 I forgot the enterence fee, but its reasonable price👌 No worry... ✔I ordered a place to sit for about 50k rupiah, it can be used for 5-6 person, if you want to take a bath you must pay 5k rupiah. ✔The atmosphere was great, full recharge of vitamin Sea💕 The blue crystal water was amazing, the sand was white and smooth like a flour🤩 ✔The service pretty good👌

The beach is sooooo beautiful, white sand, turquoise water but sometimes the wave quite big, stay safe ! And.......btw according my experience it is really worth to visit under the sun of manado or likupang 😅 at 1 pm OMG it was so hot !!!! But that's okay it's good for tanning my skin 😊😊 and FYI the view on the street to go there is just amazing! You guys gonna like it ! Hope I can go back there someday ! I love Paal Beach!

Superb excellent place to enjoy beach feel. Blue ocean with white sand and great smooth wind. Only cost 30000 rupiah for one bamboo tent for 4 person. Great sunset view at 6 o'clock in the evening. Also can enjoy barbeque with family and friends.

Beautiful beach, full of local happy childrens.

We were here for sunset. I am with my team. There are 8 of us. It's the second time for me. Best place.

The sun set was nice, with a very calm wave. Been here on May 2017, when visiting a friend in Bau Bau city. Very potential to be a vacation destination.

Wonderful view, clean and clear beach and so the sea water

Beach, Sunny sunlight and sand! This was a good place to enjoy the weekend, there's lot of foodie tho here

Came here anytime is good, except saturday or sunday,,, to crowd..

the place was obviously cold lol. the track was quite challenging but it was worth for the view tho.

Beautiful waterfall, easy to find, small entrance and parking fee. Chilly but deep swimming hole below the waterfall. Easy walk with a bit of clambering. A bit of rubbish around but . . .

It's a v v beautiful waterfalls. Very tall around 100 meters drop. Cars and mini van can go to the base of the hill. It gets crowded and sometimes it's better to park car and walk for around 500 meters. We went few days before Lebaran and had the whole place for us 😊 Lot of places to take nice pics. There are also lot of warungs for food, coffee and cold drinks. Make sure you carry a towel and pair of clothes.

Not any less beautiful than I am haha

The best waterfall I have visited in South Sulawesi. Recommend!

Beautiful scene... We came in a dry season... Although still beautiful.. I can imagine in a rainy season, must be like heaven on earth 😄😄😄 Oh, by the way.. If u want go there through the stairs, wear a right shoes 😄

Beautiful waterfall in the middle of the forest and mountains near a small village.Possibility to have a bath near the fall of the water ! Beautiful végétation around who is very green ! Food and drink near !

The new expanded airport feels much better and the tenant are getting diverse. However trolleys are left astray everywhere and the staff are to lazy to sort and return them This desserve more stars but the pickup area are filled with standby taxi instead area for regular pickup. They need to plan pick up and sorting area carefully cuz not everyone picked up by taxi. This is poor user design!

I’ve used this airport several times, either for transit to Ambon, Manokwari, or for trips to Makassar. Transiting at midnight doesn’t feel quiet since there are many flights at that time. The waiting areas are spacious, plentiful, and clean. Currently, some parts are under renovation. Hopefully, the service will improve in the future.

The new wing of UPG Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport is so much more spacious and squeaky clean. Beautiful shiny floor and super high ceilings. It is a vast improvement from the old terminal building. The international arrival hall, however, is still the same as when I last visited 2024. The Departure Hall is where the big changes have taken place. Two thumbs up! I am happy to see many retail outlets have opened. Travellers like choices when they are in airports. Hopefully, when I visit Makassar again, the new arrival hall will be ready by then.

I recently visited Hasanuddin Airport and was quite disappointed with several aspects of the facility and service quality. While the airport has potential, the management seems to be neglecting many basic standards that affect passenger comfort and safety. ⚡ Facilities & Maintenance • There were several sudden power outages during my time there, which disrupted both passengers and airport operations. • The musholla (prayer room) was dirty, the air conditioner wasn’t working, and the space felt poorly maintained. • The airport has been under renovation since last year, but the progress seems extremely slow — many areas still look unfinished. • There are multiple leaks in the ceiling during rain, yet no warning signs (“Caution: Wet Floor”) were placed to prevent people from slipping. ⸻ 🗺️ Navigation & Information • There are no clear maps or signs showing where tenants, toilets, or prayer rooms are located. For first-time visitors, it’s very confusing to find basic facilities. ⸻ 👥 Staff & Service Quality • Many staff members were not friendly and often used local dialects, which made it difficult for visitors from outside the region to communicate. • I also encountered a toilet attendant who was coughing heavily without wearing a mask. She was also complaining loudly about the broken sink and lack of water. This is highly unprofessional and unhygienic for an international airport. ⸻ ✈️ Passenger Handling • When a passenger had a tight boarding schedule, the staff didn’t provide any assistance or prioritization. Instead, they only said, “Just try to go to the gate if it’s not closed yet.” This shows a lack of empathy and poor service attitude toward passengers in urgent situations.

Big and spacious airport, maybe too big for its passengers so it looks quiet. Good design, clean, and clear information board. Still work in progress, as all of airport in Indonesia.

Sultan Hasanuddin international Airport feels special—it’s the place where my husband returns to his hometown. Simple, welcoming, and always full of meaning. ✈️❤️

Aggressive drivers at the arrival terminal made me feel quite unsafe, they followed me even after I said no and even blurted out borderline offensive words. Not a great experience, especially as a woman traveling alone. The new extended building looks nice, but if your plane arrives at certain gates, be prepared for a very long walk all the way to the other side just to reach baggage claim and exit. The check-in counter area, however, is much better now: it’s spacious, brighter, and more organized than before. Overall, the airport has improved visually, but the guest experience still needs attention, especially regarding the long walking distances and the lack of control over aggressive drivers outside the terminal.

This international airport features eight gates, plenty of restaurants, and comfortable seating for a relaxing experience. It’s clean, modern, and has accessible toilets and a playground for kids. The friendly staff are always ready to help, making your journey even better.

Nice and clean Airport…. And what impressed me most is the best service quality. My experience here is i left my eyeglasses 2-days ago in the arrival airpot toilet. Today i am assisted by the customer service counter and happily got it back! 😊🙏👍

Very clean and spacious airport, all the staffs that I met were friendly and helpful

A really nice international airport with its eight gates for passengers. You can find many restaurants inside while waiting for your boarding time. It provides us good ambience airport with many comfortable chairs. There are several toilets with disabled facility too. There is kid playground too for children so that your kids don't feel boring waiting for flight. You can find it really clean everywhere with its modern interior design. Very nice officers who will guide you with smile.

The new face of Sam Ratulangi Airport, Manado is now looks more neat and beautiful. The separate pickup zone and drop zone make this airport feel even more spacious after renovations and additions to the terminal building. The check-in area and departure waiting room are very spacious and feel comfortable. The parking area is also very spacious and well arranged. For those of you who like to travel, you don't need to worry because you don't have time to eat breakfast at the hotel, in the waiting room area there are many cafes and places to eat with a variety of menus.

Airport is very clean 5/5 Wifi is slow 2/5 Toilets clean 4/5 Customer service doesn't speak English and NOT HELPFUL. I asked to use phone free phone in customer service desk and lady (using translator) said the phone is for her only. I need to contact my hotel shuttle to tell them my flight got delayed. She was NOT HELPFUL at all. I asked where can I use a phone and she said NO Phone! Why have customer service that provides no customer service?

The airport has undergone a serious upgrade since my visit a year ago. It's incredibly spacious, clean, and comfortable. The ladies' toilet was spotless, and the staff were all polite. Quite the transformation!

I didn't really see a beach. Its mainly sea wall with food and drink venders at night. It's nice to stroll and enjoy the ocean breeze.

Gorgeous place to enjoying night by the beach! Each kiosk has its own cozy place where you can laying and have nice time with friends. There is also wheel fair and bom bom car at the other side of this beach, and the price is not bad, around 20k IDR for one round play.

Nice place for relaxation especially at evening time. There are many food stall along the sidewalk where you can enjoy the fresh air of the see while eating or even just drink hot ginger drink which you can just find in any stall along the sidewalk

People don't visit here for the sea view since they covered it all. It takes up half the main road so it is very much a difficulty in passing in this road especially in Saturday night.

b aja

To many pasar malam on the main road cause traffic jam

Some rest area with nice view in afternoon, recomended

Welcome to Buton Island, is a Wonderfull Island

Very nice

Enjoyable with various fish dishes and kind people there

It's a beautiful island with some good places to go

Friendly ppl such Mentawai ppl in west Sumatera,and the others.Thats what I called as NEW EXPERIENCE

Very good

Wonderful island, Great People

This place so good. Very wide and so is the white sand. Good for visitors who do not like crowds because this place is very minimal from the east coast.

Beautiful white sand beach. Not as much rubbish as some areas here. Can only swim in the morning as the tide is really low in the afternoon. Multiple beach bars for food and drink and to organise boat and snorkeling

Very beautiful beach. Good place to hang out. You can go for banana boat here at an affordable price. There are 'warungs' along the beach where you can get coconuts, Indomie and some snacks.

I DO NOT LIE ! The water is that clear. No filter at all. East Indonesian has the best oceans, seas and beaches ! Long journey from city to hotel, and then boats to here. But you just need to jump into the water to ease all the pain.

The beach is enjoyable, the atmosphere is relaxing. Be sure to visit when the tide is high. Parking and toilet facility cost are quite expensive.

The Beach is so beautifull,hope soon alot investor coming and giving touching to more good and still keep it the traditional or mark about the Tanjung Bira Beach

Great view with white sands and coconut tree

White sandy beach.. nice place to visit.

I like the beach so much. Though it's very crowded, but the sea water wasn't dirty that much.

Beautiful, relax, enjoy

Best place in south sulawesi for healing

It is one of an amazing beach at Sulawesi. Surrounding by many hotel and hostel, it delivered a very great experience at beach. It is about 5 hours car driving from Makassar city, but it worth with the view and the beach. One of the most visited place at Sulawesi.

Hidden Paradise in the world.

Good rute information

Absolutely loved my stay here! The hotel was spotlessly clean and incredibly comfortable. Waking up to that beautiful view every morning was a dream. The staff were so friendly and efficient, always ready to help. And the food? Delicious! They really have all the facilities you could ask for: a gym, a fantastic pool, and a relaxing jacuzzi. Plus, there are tons of activities to enjoy – snorkeling, biking, billiards, swimming, and even swinging by the beach! Perfect for a romantic getaway or a fun trip with loved ones🏢🏖️🪸🚴‍♀️🥨🎱🩷

A hotel located in the northern part of Manado, precisely in Likupang. The hotel is large, has a golf course and a beautiful beach. The facilities are also complete, has 2 pool tables also in the restaurant, can be played with a minimum order. Rooms are also comfortable and clean. Travel approximately 90 minutes from Manado city center. Very suitable for a vacation with family, friends or couples.

Despite it's flaws it's truly a paradise. Friendly staff, comfy rooms, amazing swimming pool and spa, amazing snorkeling on North side. Main improvement point is the quality and availability of food (they dont have much in stock), as well as the slow speed of food service.

Had an unforgettable weekend at this golf resort! The course is super clean, well laid out, and beginner-friendly without feeling too easy. Loved the fairways and scenic back nine—it’s a great place to enjoy the game while soaking in the views. Fantastic sunset terrace.

Lousy hotel for the following reasons: 1. Power trip in the room upon check in, apparently its a normal accurance 2. They held an event without informing us. Due to this event we were told that we cannot order any dinner before 8pm. It was 6pm we were told sorry we have event pls come back later?? . When we raised this issue after a long time someone came apologized, without giving any options nor possible solutions, all we got was sorry. We had to ask for alternatives, that too they came back later, at last they said we could eat, here's the menu, but half on the menu was not available and as we expected, the waiter staff and people in charge don't speak to each other, so they had issues understanding what was going on. 3. There was no alternative solution provided until we insisted on it, then they made an exception 4. We also asked if we can pay to extend for half day, the reception told us that they'll get back to us but they never did, amazing how a 4 star hotel operates. As a 4 star hotel their service doesn't reflect a 4 star hotel. They're very good at stating a problem, one they created, but have no idea on solving it.

Room is spacious and very quite during thw night. Location is about +/- 1 hour from Manado city Large swimming pool and sea view is spectacular

Truly satisfied with this hotel, the service is great and the food is also nice, even though not everything on the menu is available

Stretching white sand and clear turquoise waters make it a perfect, tranquil escape in South Sulawesi. Great for snorkeling and diving amidst vibrant coral. Basic facilities, but the natural beauty is worth it. And for those asking, this island has no relation to the Mortal Kombat character.

This island is just 10 minutes by boat from Tanjung Bira Beach. It has pretty beach with clear water and white sands. There is small village in this island, and not much local people whose living in. Made the island is quiet enough for us to relax.

Beautiful beach, clean water, white sand, coconut tree and very natural. The best food in this beautiful island is sea food. All fish, shrimp, calamari are very fresh. Grilled fish is my favorite. Shrimp and calamari are welcome. We can get fresh sea food in this island because majority occupation of local citizen is fisherman. Don't forget to drink original young coconut. Life is only once and enjoy it once in your life in this beautiful place. Thank you fisherman, you secure our protein needs.

The island has some charms and is pretty much off from any major tourism, but unfortunately the beach is not really nice for relaxing or swimming. Most of it is used by the locals for working, fishing, boats, plus there is a lot of garbage. Also the locals remove the sand for building streets and houses. Additionally the Indonesian tourists from Bira beach come over for snorkeling and banana boat racing. We felt like opposite Bars Beach was much nicer.

Omg I almost died first I wanted to leave that beach with my family affter we left omg the storms came the boat going right and left its scary 😭 while in a storm

awesome

One of the best bungalows and destination trip in Bira. I have to come to this wonderfull place nexg time.

Pretty much what I've come to expect in Indonesia: a place of intrinsic natural value spoiled by litter and obnoxious signs. What it has going for it is that it's the nearest beach to town, it's quiet, and the water is so calm at low tide you can just float on the surface and practically fall asleep.

The place is quite small. The water is dirty and not a good spot to spend with your family or even to take pictures. I would recommend to visit Bokori Island instead for the real experience.

Our favorite so far...

been there for several time. Goverment need to work some point to make this beach more excellent.

Well, sure, good...thank you

Lovely beach..very beautiful 😍🌴🌴🌴

Good view

If you decide to visit Sombori make sure to take a suitcase full of cash, because the locals will ask ridiculous prices to get you there. I came to Kendari, Sulawesi especially to visit Sombori Island and I informed at several transportation companies for transport to get me there but all of them charge you like 7 million rupiah to take you there. At the end I left Kendari and I will never go back there. I don't mind paying a fair price but I do NOT like to be ripped off, thank you.

very nice view and another peacful place on sulawesi. too bad we can't make it to the summit or top of cliff, it closed beacuse of accident a week before

Beautiful island at Sulawesi

Wonderful....

Beautiful place i ever visited, blue sea water is so awesome, you can see corals wothout diving

Beautiful scenery!

A beautiful place! But it hard to find a clean water since there's no fountain i guess

Had the most exciting, nature immersed experience I could ever have hoped for. The staff and crew made us feel like part of the household, with the most intimate and affectionate care. The beaches and landscape tours are unbelievable - impossible to describe. Wild and untouched like I have never seen. The local food freshly prepared by the house chefs was a delight - rich, traditional, delicious. We did many adventurous activities, such as snorkeling, hiking through the jungle, cave exploration, etc. As remote and isolated this place may be, I will be the happiest if I ever come back. So, to the team I say: Sampai jumpa lagi! 🫶🏼 (Until we meet again!)

Labengki Beach Hut is a paraaaaaadise! The hospitality and kindness with which you're treated is excellent. Our guide Arvan helped us and showed us the most magical corners of these islands. He’s such a nice, friendly, and cheerful guy — you can tell he truly loves his job. It’s a paradise, and we’ve been completely alone everywhere we went. In 6 days, we only came across one other couple. The food is delicious and they serve very generous portions. We also met another guide, Ipang, who was incredibly kind to us and didn’t hesitate to climb a 20-meter palm tree to get us a coconut. And let’s not forget the captain of the ship and his assistants — always attentive and ready to help us with anything at all times. Without a doubt, I recommend this destination to any adventurer who wants to experience the feeling of being alone in paradise. Labengki Beach Hut will always have a special place in our hearts!

Beautiful place ! Rich in food it was delicious and we could eat as many as we want. The place is clean, the rooms also and they’re a bit small but really comfortable ! The members there are so kind, polite, respectful and always have a smile on their faces. I recommend ! The visits were incredible

I just spent three days and two nights at this place. The rooms are unique and fit perfectly with the beach vibe. I felt like I was spending time on a private island as there were no locals. It was quiet and very pleasant. I spent time on the sun lounger during the day. Sitting while watching the kids play on the beach. But the most memorable thing was the hospitality and the food they served. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting labengki island and sombori island. Thank me later 🙂

The room is only contains 2 beds, 1 fan, and a mini desk. The bathroom is shared with others. Overall there are 10 rooms (not including tents) and 6 bathrooms and 1 big outdoor dining area. This resort is provided by Indanki Tour, thus, if you want to stay here then you have to go through the tour. It's a private beach, and you can swim right out of your room, only 10 feet away. The food is delightful! Varies every day and surely very very fresh.

Amazing experience, surely the best stay we had anywhere in Indonesia. The location is absolutely stunning, the food even better as well as the staff. The facilities are also sufficient, especially given the remoteness of the place. Rating of the whole package: 11/10!

Amazing place and amazing staff. Our time there was amazing: the beach is astonishing, the sea is crystal blue, the food is extremely good and the team working there is very kind and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Togean Island have many kind of corals, diversity of the corals are facsinating. Here the place you can snorkling and diving safely.

beautiful place, very healty coral and friendly people at there

Hidden place always Good.

Togean Island is an island located in Tomini Bay, Central Sulawesi. Most of the people there are fishermen and a Pearl Farmer working for a Japanese company that holds the right to manage the sea to farm pearl shells. The trip to Togean Island can be reached from the Ampana City (South route) and from Gorontalo City (North route). The trip can be made by Speedboat takes about 4 hours and 11 hours by Large Motor Vessel, embarking at 9:00 and arrive at 20:00 This Vessel sails to the farthest island and stop by at pier of each big and inhabited islands. Loading and unloading passengers and the cargo. Only one trip each day. Along the trip, you can find more than a hundred of un inhabitants islands and green lagoon. Onboard you can find people bring poultry, livestock such as goat and calf. If you do not bring your own lunch along the trip, you can get that at the island when they stop by about 30 to max 40 minutes. What a long journey but enjoy your time by taking a picture or sleep for a while or playing card with other passengers or talk if they can understand English or Indonesia language because most of them are coming from Sea Tribe people only understand their own language.

Chilled place but I was very disappointed but the destroyed coral and lack of fish. If you look for paradise, go to Hatta island in the bandas!

What an extraordinary experience

amazing island

A white sandy beach with a quite long shoreline. There are some gazeboes here. However, those gazeboes are now abandoned. In result, not many people visiting this beach which make it feels like a private beach.

Best sunrise 🌅

(Translated by Google) Hopefully it will be managed well by the local government, the place is good (Original) Semoga dikelola baik oleh pemerintah daerah, tempatnya bagus

(Translated by Google) the beach is clean, the view is also very beautiful. Hopefully it can be managed well. (Original) pantainya bersih, pemandangannya juga sangat indah. semoga bisa dikelola dengan baik.

(Translated by Google) It has a wide coastline and white sand, suitable for recreation. Only the beach is a little dirty (Original) Memiliki Garis pantai yang Luas dan Pasirnya Putih, Cocok tempat Rekeasi Hanya pantainya sedikit kotor

(Translated by Google) Exotic. The crashing waves are like Tanah Lot, Bali. (Original) Eksostis. Deburan ombaknya ala ala Tanah Lot, Bali

(Translated by Google) It's really fun and really beautiful (Original) Seru pokoknya asri banget

Dirty water, lots of rubbish and smells like rubbish. Lots of the tiles are slippery and there are parts of the promenade that collapsed creating big holes. It's difficult to walk as the food stalls take over the promenade. The only good thing is the view of masjid kubah 99, and maybe some beautiful looking boats. Not worth a visit

Meh. A good view of the Masjid Kunah 99 across the water but not a whole lot more. In the evenings its your standard fare of pop-up street vendors selling local food, balloons and wares, roving musicians, etc. If you skip it you're not missing much.

It's the landmark of Makassar city, but sadly it's not well maintained. There is a lot of rubbish around the area, dirty toilets, not enough lighting, and the stalls are also not quite organized. Alas, this place can be a great profitable hotspot if the government knows how to handle it, like holding cultural events, local performance, dance & arts and bazaar. Hopefully someday it can be better

The icon of the city. Good place for taking picture at sunrise or sunset. Good place for family gathering. A lot of food stalls here. Spacious parking lot for bike and cars. It is such a shame that the water is not clear even dirty with platics and rubbish.

Nice for walk in the sunset time But smell not good,i dont know why The view was great at few part but another part looks not maintained

Nice place. If your introvert and don't like crowded places go here at afternoon but it will be very hot. But it will be nice if you go at night time

One of the most visited place in Makassar. It is popular for hangout because there are plenty local people who sell food in the afternoon till night. So really nice place to have dinner with nice view of sunset. Sunset here is terrific. A must visit place when you are in Makassar

In 3 months I will go to Palu

TALISE

(Translated by Google) The beautiful beach is calm and full of memories, but the cleanliness is lacking (Original) Pantai indah tenang dan penuh kenangan, cuman kebersihannya kurang

It's an amazing place to do some free falling into some kind of well with a salt water near a sea. The feeling of free falling is priceless. Really worth it. But this place still need the help from the local government to maximize it's potential.

Good Place, Nice view, recommended for swimming at PUSAT LAUT, but bad access to location

Nice beautiful white sand beach.. try to come earlier, so you will enjoy the beach as yours.. fully

Beautiful beach with crystal clear water. Tide is not so high

First time been here, couple of month ago, lot of park lot, lot of bus being park. I think the operator of this place should improve the public facility to put more adjustable and moveable toilets. I asked some local people that operate this area about how can they get fresh water? He answered me by the water tank truck. It mighty be the fastest way to bring fresh water, but I don't think about economically. Hope this thought be considering. There is one lemon fruit in the back yard of the big building there, this kind of lemonade fruit has a lovely smells. Keep the cleanliness, keep the safety on the beach.

Beautiful place to snorkel and swim. Not very developed and that what I like about it. The entrance fee is nominal. The tides here mean only certain times of day are suitable for swimming out over the reef as at low tide the sea is on the far side of the reef. From memory afternoons are best from mid-afternoon on.

The beach is beutiful with the unique sea cave. White sand is lay on it. They are many local children will jump to the sea cave if you throw a coin. But the wall built surround the sea cave make it not really nice to see.

Very appreciate the way all workers made the traditional Pinisi boats by hand. The beach was nice blue color & fresh water. We choosed local restaurant in the middle of the way. Then lay on the white sand under coconut shadow. Until late afternoon, the water level went far away, the wide sand appears. It is very nice to play football or run. I do prefer here more than the Tanjung Bira. The only thing is that you will see a mess of plastic along the beach. Please clean it to keep local own living source.

This beautiful beach has the softest white sands I have had the opportunity to visit. Perhaps I chose the best villa on the beach too, as the sand is much cleaner here than in some other places close by. The swaying palm trees lend an idyllic backdrop to the almost perfect place. There are incredible phinisi boat builders at the far end of the beach. Massive wooden boats that loom over the beach, waiting to be launched into the waters. With lush green hills inland and clear blue waters in the sea, this is my haven to getaway from it all. One important note, never visit during the holidays.

Very nice beach, clear water

Beautiful White Soft Sand Beach and Best Sunrise Spot

A MUST VISIT PLACE IN BIRA! Look at the making process of the famous Phinisi boats from Sulawesi

This is the spot if you want to see how they build pinisi traditionally. The ship was humongous.

The beach is nearly not existent and extremely trashed. Not the western taste, not suitable for swimming. But setting under coconut palms is fairly nice. Shipyard building large wooden ships called penisi is very impressive. You can just walk in.

Nice sunset

Beautiful

Good

(Translated by Google) Seruni Beach is clean and orderly. The sea view is quite good with the rocks near the platform (Original) Pantai Seruni bersih dan tertata. Pemandangan laut cukup bagus dengan batu-batuan di dekat anjungannya

(Translated by Google) If in Makassar there is a Losari Beach Platform, then Bantaeng residents can be proud to have a Seruni Beach Platform. The location is right opposite the Alun-alun and close to the General Hospital so this place is almost never empty of people. In the afternoon, this platform is often crowded with parents who bring their small children to play with the electric cars that are often rented. (Original) Jika di Makassar ada Anjungan Pantai Losari, maka warga Bantaeng boleh bangga punya Anjungan Pantai Seruni. Lokasinya persis berhadapan dengan Alun-alun dan berdekatan dengan Rumah Sakit Umum sehingga tempat ini nyaris tak pernah sepi dikunjungi orang. Di sore hari, anjungan ini kerap ramai dikunjungi orang tua yang membawa anak kecilnya untuk bermain mobil-mobilan listrik yang banyak disewakan.

(Translated by Google) A nice and iconic place from Seruni Beach (Original) Tempat yang bagus dan ikonik dari pantai seruni

(Translated by Google) Seruni Beach is located on Jalan Poros Bulukumba, Bantaeng, Bulukumba. It is not wrong that Seruni Beach is the favorite of Bantaeng Regency, the beautiful panorama and the fresh roar of the waves on the beach can provide calm for anyone who comes to visit. You can also enjoy the beauty of the sunset, accompanied by delicious dishes on the beach. (Original) Pantai Seruni berlokasi di Jalan Poros Bulukumba, Bantaeng, Bulukumba. Pantai Seruni memang tidak salah dijadikan primadona oleh Kabupaten Bantaeng, keindahan panorama serta segarnya deru ombak pada pantai mampu memberikan ketenangan bagi siapa saja yang datang berkunjung. Kamu pun dapat menikmati keindahan matahari terbenam, ditemani dengan hidangan yang lezat pada pinggir pantai.

Nice beach, simple and quiet. The waves are not hard and it's easy to swim for all. The view from the top is pretty nice, for me it wasn't mind blowing but enjoyable. But if you plan to pay for the gazebos it's nice to bring your own food with you family and enjoy the water. I got stung by a small jellyfish but that's nobody's fault, but just a heads up.

Very beautiful beach in north celebes, indonesia

Beautiful clean beach with hardly any other people (on a Wednesday afternoon). Hill with stairs all the way to the top with great views between the beach strips. About 1,5 hours drive from Tondano along mostly small curvy roads.

A hidden beach in my hometown, North Sulawesi. 3hrs ride from Manado City by car. The road to get there was very small. Surely, there was no data connection (it keeps you away from any disturbance so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery) 😃. The place were not meant for diving or even surfing. But they offered you like 2 scenery, a beach and mangroves 🙂. Better you try yourself 😉

One of the great beach in minahasa

This place has a potencial to become one of the favorite beaches in North Sulawesi. It has an amazing view. You can see it by climbing up to the hill and see the gorgeous beach on the right and a calm serenity lake on the left.

The place is ok but it is so far away from the downtown... Prepare your motorcycle/car because there's no gas station or garage around there.

It was quiet beach when we visited this beach. Many amenities for holidays or weekends: rooms, pools, gazebos, meeting hall, restaurants, rest rooms, banana boats,...

It s good to come here when it is not peak season... pool is not packed..

The tour is so beautifull wiew, we can took the banana boat, and then sing in the cafe we also swim in the pool

Instagrammable. Nice place to chill and relax with family and groups. Clean place with many facilities. They have a lot of option for group packages..

Good for family vacation, combine public pool and adventure, but the hotel price is no reasonable with the facility and have limited pool

Beautiful beach, view, sunset. Ticket to enter the resort 20K on weekdays

One place entertainment for family, nice good, clean great place.

Beach with black sand👌
