This region of Indonesia is a little different than the rest, mostly due to Christianity being the majority religion here. This religious background heavily influences culture and cuisine, with meat featuring heavily, especially pork and various fowl. Historically North Sulawesi was once the center of the Dutch colony in Asia, which has left traces of European culture. This history also means it is a little easier to enjoy a cold beer here than many other parts of the country!
The region has a center of volcanic hillslopes, thriving with life and vast rainforests. Along the coast there are low lying fertile lands, skirted by beautiful offshore coral reefs. Streams run down from the hills and onto these plains, making them perfect for farming.
It’s called ‘The Land of Smiling People’ for good reason, the people here are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Outstanding natural beauty, delicious cuisine, and friendly locals make travelling here a dream.

Manado Bay and the Bunaken Marine Park are celebrated for their world-class diving experiences. Located in the heart of the Coral Triangle, this region is known for vibrant coral reefs and an exceptional diversity of marine life. Bunaken Marine Park, across the bay in front of the resort, is one of Indonesia’s first marine parks, boasting steep walls that plunge into the deep blue, covered in soft and hard corals teeming with marine creatures. The marine park is home to over 2,500 species of fish, endangered dugongs, whales, a large resident population of green sea turtles and dolphins. Manado Bay, on the other side, is a relatively new diving area excellent for critter-lovers and muck diving.
Catering for Scuba Divers, Freedivers and Snorkellers, Murex Manado Resort serves as the gateway to this underwater paradise, offering easy access to excellent dive sites.
But it is not just diving and snorkelling, Murex Manado offers cooking classes and a complete range of land tours featuring the stunning scenery of the region: from ancient volcanic peaks through to tranquil lakes and the rolling green hillsides of the Minahasan Highlands and the Tangkoko National Park. If that isn’t thrilling enough for you, they also offer paragliding for stunning views and white-water rafting for the adrenaline seekers.
