This is Kotamobagu, It's in the Bolaang Mongondow Regency in North Sulawesi. "Bolaang" is taken from the word "Balangon" which means the sea, and "Mongondow" is taken from the word "Momondow" which means cry of victory.

This strait is so beautiful. Lots of tiny islands, cliffs, beautiful view and of course beautiful and unique marine ecology.

There are few beautiful resorts that will provide you with nice accommodation, such as BlackSands Retreat, Dabirahe @ Lembeh Hills and Kungkungan Bay resort.

• Gunung Dua Saudara •

In English it is literallly translated as Two brother/sister mountain. I know it sounds ridiculous!

People name this mountain Dua Saudara because there are two mountains next to each other. Not far from these mountains there is Mount Klabat, the highest mountain in Minahasa Peninsula of North Sulawesi.

This area is protected by government to provide home for wild animals that only can be found in Sulawesi, such as Tarsiers, Macacas Nigra, and others. 

The famous wildlife area is Tangkoko nature and wildlife reserve. It attracts volunteers from around the world to help locals protect and study these unique animals, such as documenting, providing medicines, campaigns and taking care of these unique animals.

If you are a nature enthusiast, this area is an exciting destination. For more information, you may look it up on the internet, Batuputih, Tangkoko nature and wildlife reserve.

Accommodation is very basic if you decided to stay in this area. But there are several nice cottages along Lembeh Straits, where is near from Tangkoko nature and wildlife reserve.

What to do?
There are plenty of beautiful sites in this natural reserve including beaches, jungles, waterfall, mountains and others but you will need a guide to guide you in this wilderness. Furthermore, since it's located near Lembeh Strait, diving is a must.

- Tateli Beach Resort -

It is a resort that is located not far from Manado. A nice place for both domestic and international tourist to spend their quality time in Manado.

My friend visited Manado and stayed at this resort, she told me that she took the diving package, although she knew nothing about diving.

You will have to obtain a license to dive, but fortunately many resorts including this offer a diving package for beginner. Basically you will have a two to four day course before you can dive in the sea.

The resort is maintained pretty well and staff are hospitable. Best of all, it has easy access and located not far from the city.

The rate of the hotel starts from about $100 depending on the season and class. It is best to stay at least one week if you want to explore the marine life and highlands at the same time.
