Togean Islands
Yes, it takes determination to get to the Togean Islands, but believe us, it takes much more determination to leave. Island-hop from one forested golden-beach beauty to the next, where hammocks are plentiful, the fish is fresh and the welcome is genuine. Most islands have only one or two family-run guesthouses, while popular Kadidiri has a small but lively beach scene with night-time bonfires and cold beers all around.
The rich diversity of marine life and astonishing coral formations in the Togeans are a magnet for divers and snorkellers; there are several professional scuba schools for training, courses and recreational dives. For truly spectacular diving Una Una fits the bill perfectly.
When you decide to pull yourself out of the water, there’s a surprising variety of wildlife to look for in the undisturbed and wild jungles, as well as other remote beaches to find. Seven or so ethnic groups share this region, but all are happy see visitors and are exceptionally hospitable.
Most rooms are in wooden cottages and right on the beach. Bathroom facilities range from communal and rustic to private and porcelain. Prices are usually per person and rates include three local meals. It is a good idea to bring along some snacks and treats. Beer, soft drinks and mineral water are all available from shops and homestays.
Bring plenty of cash as there are no banks in the islands. If your hotel or guesthouse has a faint mobile signal it is sometimes possible to pay by credit/debit card – but don’t count on it.
