Snorkeling and Freediving: A Dive into Biodiversity

Sulawesi sits at the heart of the Coral Triangle, home to some of the planet’s richest marine biodiversity. Here, you’ll find underwater treasures ranging from graceful sea turtles to the elusive dugong. If you’re lucky, you might catch a rare glimpse of dolphins, manta rays, or even a majestic whale shark passing through.

Keep an eye out for reef sharks gracefully weaving through the crystal-clear waters—an exciting encounter in one of Sulawesi’s most vibrant ecosystems.
