The spirit of travel

Lost in the heart of the Tomini Gulf, off the coast of Sulawesi, the Togian Islands offer a truly unspoilt paradise, ideal for extending an Indonesian tour with a dream beach break. This archipelago, accessible from Ampana or Gorontalo, seduces travelers seeking calm, nature and authenticity. Between white sand beaches lined with coconut palms, turquoise lagoons, coral reefs of exceptional richness and Bajo fishermen villages, this six-day escape invites both relaxation and discovery. Diving and snorkeling enthusiasts will be delighted by the marine diversity, multicolored corals, turtles, parrotfish, rays and sometimes even dolphins.

Far from mass tourism, the Togian Islands offer a peaceful island atmosphere where time seems suspended. Staying in small beachfront bungalows, you savor the simplicity and beauty of pristine nature, between swimming, pirogue rides and flaming sunsets over the Celebes Sea. This 6-day extension is a perfect interlude to conclude your trip: an exclusive stay, away from the world, between sea and tropical jungle, in one of Indonésie's most secret archipelagos.

Rest in paradise

The Togian Islands are an archipelago of 56 islands and islets, located 30 km south of the Equator, and situated in Tomini Bay. Delimited by a coral reef barrier, they are the result of volcanic activity and are covered with magnificent tropical forest. The average water temperature is 31°C and underwater visibility reaches 40 to 50 meters. Both the marine and terrestrial ecosystem have so far remained virgin and wild, which is extremely rare. The coasts and coral reefs form an excellent habitat for many endemic wild animals, such as turtles, dugongs, macaques, parrots, babirusa pigs, etc.

At the heart of this paradise live different ethnic groups (Bobogko, Togian, Saluan & Bajau) spread across 37 villages. These two free days allow you to explore this little paradise at your leisure: Unauna and its active volcano Colo, Malengue and its fauna, as well as the Bajau villages and its famous sea nomads. Not to mention, of course, the exploration of underwater depths of great beauty.

The information below concerns tourists entering Indonesia. Entry requirements may change, and we recommend verifying the information with the official authorities of your country of residence and with the Indonesian embassy or consulate before your departure.

Passport

To enter Indonesia, your passport must be valid for a minimum of six months after your entry date and must contain at least two blank pages for immigration stamps.

  • proof of sufficient financial resources for the duration of your stay.
