Pulisan Resort: Combine exotic jungle atmosphere with a unique marine experience. Discover the endemic species above and below the water in the north of Sulawesi, east of the Wallace Line and in the centre of the Coral Triangle.
Location and amenities:
Pulisan Resort is located on the northern tip of Sulawesi Island, surrounded by lush greenery and overlooking the Strait of Lembeh. The secluded location, the jungle environment as well as the white sandy beaches and a breathtaking view of the Tangkoko volcano right outside the front door, makes the resort a very special place. Pulisan Jungle Beach Resort is run by a Swiss-Canadian owner couple and is the right place to enjoy a quiet and relaxed atmosphere in exotic surroundings.
The currently 8 Minahasa-style bungalows are located between the jungle and the sea and are divided into budget, standard and deluxe categories, depending on what you want. Functionally furnished, each bungalow is equipped with a double bed with mosquito net and has a terrace, a separate bathroom and a typical Indonesian mandi. The 6 deluxe bungalows are additionally equipped with a shower. The internet connection can sometimes be interrupted. Far away from the nearest village, the resort is a relaxing and quiet place to recharge your batteries.
Occupancy: max. 3 persons
Restaurant: Also, in case their guests have special dietary requirements, the very attentive resort owners are eager to fulfil their guests' wishes. The hotel's own restaurant serves a mix of local and international dishes.
Diving: Pulisan Resort is located right in the middle of three world-class dive sites, the North Cape of Sulawesi, Bangka Island and the Strait of Lembeh, making it a prime location for diving activities, in the centre of the so-called "Coral Triangle". Equipped with its own dive centre, Pulisan Jungle Beach Resort offers SSI and PADI diving courses as well as introductory, refresher and specialised diving courses and, as a special highlight, lifelong certification with the Open Water Course. In addition to state-of-the-art equipment such as Aqualung and Mares equipment, the resort owners also rely on a very well-trained crew.
In just 30 minutes, the macro-sky of one of the best muck diving sites in the world, the Straits of Lembeh, opens up with its typical species such as seahorses, stargazers, octopuses, scorpionfish or nudibranchs. By boat, you can reach the beautiful reefs of Bangka Island with its colourful soft corals, manatees and whitetip reef sharks in even less time, or the equally interesting north-east coast of Sulawesi with its exciting biodiversity between steep walls, gentle slopes and sandy bottoms, as well as its amazingly colourful coral reefs.

Adventure holidays in Indonesia: For those seeking more than just beaches
Do you think of Indonesia only in terms of white beaches and palm trees? Then it's time to dive deeper. An Indonesia round trip east of the Wallace Line shows you a completely different face of this diverse country. Of course, you'll find dream beaches – for example on Lombok, the Moluccas, or Raja Ampat. But that's just the beginning. Off the beaten path, our adventure & cultural tours in Indonesia await you with a world full of highlights, featuring cultural diversity, exciting encounters, and unique nature.
Individually planned or in small private groups on our sailing tours, you'll experience a visit to Indonesia that is more than just a vacation – a cultural journey through Indonesia that takes you to the origins of this earth, to villages and places where stories of gods are still told. Pure Indonesia adventure vacation!
On active tour through Indonesia: Experience nature up close
Indonesia east of the Wallace Line is a true paradise for active travelers. Here you can climb volcanoes, hike through tropical forests, observe wild endemic animal species, and experience the incredible diversity of nature up close. Instead of the well-known Bromo volcano on Java - which is located west of the Wallace Line - our adventure tours in Eastern Indonesia take you to lesser-known but all the more impressive volcanoes, for example on Halmahera, Sulawesi, or Sumbawa.
The geological dynamism continues underwater as well: While snorkeling and diving around the Moluccas, Sulawesi, Raja Ampat, and the Lesser Sunda Islands, you'll encounter fascinating biodiversity – corals, rare fish, and sunken lava fields create scenery like from another world. This biological diversity is unique on Earth and makes every tour a real adventure. The region east of the Wallace Line is also called the Coral Triangle and invites you to unique active tours in Indonesia.
Between temples and rainforest on an adventure trip in Indonesia
A trip to Eastern Indonesia is also an encounter with spirituality. To be completely honest: In this region, unlike Bali, you won't encounter temples very often. The worship of gods takes place in a different way in the local Eastern Indonesian daily life. In remote villages, you can experience firsthand how deeply rooted the local cultural identity is. On your cultural journey through Eastern Indonesia, you'll see that rituals and myths are still passed down orally here and find their visible expression particularly at events and festivals.
On an adventure trip through Indonesia's jungle, along active volcanoes, through protected national parks, or through remote villages, every visit becomes a step into another world. Whether rainforest, beach, or rice field – you'll explore places where time seems to have stood still and become part of an environment where humans and nature still live in harmony.
Your active holiday in Eastern Indonesia is already waiting
You're ready to explore more, experience more intensively, and truly immerse yourself? Then this active vacation in Indonesia is exactly right for you. From the first flight to the last hotel night, everything is planned so you can make the most of your time. With us, you can expect:
- authentic encounters
- unique natural spectacles
- plenty of peace and time to relax
- and always a touch of adventure.
Our cultural tours & adventure tours in Indonesia are for travelers who seek something special – away from mass tourism and often comfort too. Your trip is as individual as you are. And you won't just be impressed, but touched. And at the latest when you look back at the end, you'll know: Indonesia is somehow more than just a travel destination – it's a way of life that stays with you.
