Sulawesi Tours & Holidays

One of the four Greater Sunda Islands, the rugged and mountainous landscapes of Sulawesi are home to a rich and unique collection of natural and cultural oddities. Curiously shaped and blanketed in thick jungle, it is composed of four distinct peninsulas and three major gulfs, a topographical anomaly that has kept it isolated from both the outside world and itself for generations. Scattered across this compelling wilderness you can come across dwarf buffalo and rare nocturnal tarsiers, the elaborate funeral rites of the Toraja highlanders and granite megaliths that date back over 5000 years. The island’s eight national parks provide a haven for an astonishingly high proportion of endemic wildlife, whilst a visit to the Minahasan people of the north provides a tantalising introduction to Manado cuisine, renowned for its rich seafood, abundant spices and exotic meats.
