Tour description

Sulawesi: Labengki & Sombori Island Paradise Tour

Go on a discovery tour: This private, individually arranged tour takes you to an unknown and hidden tropical island world in the south-east of Sulawesi, which thanks to its remoteness has been able to preserve its original charm and enchanting natural beauty. An untouched island region far away from the tourist crowds awaits you and you know how to appreciate this seclusion from conventional civilian life. You are in the mood for nature and distance, a tropical island feeling and an exotic difference - far away from everything you know. And you also can do without travel comfort for a while. Broadening your horizons is what you are looking for.

Your fitness level: Although you will cover some distance by private vehicle and boat, there will be one or two challenging hills to climb. You should have a good level of fitness for this.

The island region around Pulau Labengki is also called the 'Raja Ampat of Sulawesi' and has some of the most beautiful beaches in Indonesia. The area is not exactly easy to access, but it is worth the effort.
