Bunaken is one of the very amazing places I have ever visited. It is located in North Sulawesi. This sea park consists of 5 islands and 2 coastal areas, Bunaken Island, Manado Tua Island, Siladen Island, Mantehage Island, Nain Island, Molas Coast - Tiwoho, and Arakan-Wawontulap Coast. Bunaken Island, where once I spent my holiday, is the most popular. This ±8 km² wide island is located at the Bay of Manado. This area represents the tropical ecosystem of Indonesia because it has any kind of tropical water ecosystems, such as mangroves, seagrasses, seaweeds, and reefs.
I am always amazed with the diversity of rare aquatic organism species in this place, such as dugong, dolphin, etc. Because of its high biodiversity, Bunaken can attract many tourists. It has 20 diving spots with the depth varying up to 1344 m. These spots are the most often visited by the divers and the submarine panorama lovers. I have tried one of them and I found it really thrilling. Furthermore, there are underwater great walls or hanging walls of giant corals that stand vertically and curve up in this area. They become the food source for fishes in the water around the Bunaken Island.
Besides the charming submarine park, the islands in this area present the natural atmosphere. It is something which makes me enjoy staying. There are many cottages, resorts, and diving centers that offer accommodation and diving services. Water pool, hot shower, and restaurants are also provided.
