SULAWESI – Culture, Coral & Curves of the Sea

SULAWESI – Culture, Coral & Curves of the Sea

Sulawesi’s distinctive shape hints at its incredible diversity — each peninsula tells a different story. In the highlands of Tana Toraja, carved cliffs and vibrant funeral ceremonies reveal centuries-old traditions. The iconic boat-shaped houses stand as a testament to Torajan artistry and beliefs. Coastal Sulawesi offers world-class diving. Bunaken Marine Park, near Manado, teems with turtles, reef sharks, and tropical fish, while Wakatobi in the southeast ranks among the planet’s top dive destinations. Beyond the sea, Lake Poso and Lore Lindu National Park provide havens for eco-travelers, and local markets bustle with spices, coffee, and welcoming smiles. Sulawesi remains one of Indonesia’s most rewarding discoveries — a mosaic of cultures and landscapes far from the ordinary.
