Highlights

Tangkoko Nature Reserve from Seabourn Quest ( Bitung Port Manado )

Sit back and relax on a scenic drive, passing through small villages as you head towards the Tangkoko Nature Reserve -- one of Indonesia's most important conservation areas -- located about 12 miles northwest of Bitung amongst rolling hills and valleys.

Transfer by Tours bus or air-conditioned vehicle to Nature Reserve. The 1-hour drive to the ± 8890-hectare National Park is quite scenic as we pass through small villages. First, we will lunch at the local restaurant. Next, upon arrival in Tangkoko Nature Reserve, clients will then be guided by local forest ranger and Safari Tours guide in search of the Black Crested Macaque (Black Monkey indigenous to North Sulawesi), hornbills, and couscous as well as other fauna specific to the reserve. Depending on what time it gets dark, we will head into the denser part of the jungle as the sun is setting, where you will (most likely) be able to get photographs of the Tarsius Tarsier (one of the smallest known primates). After it is completely dark and the Tarsier have departed for their nightly foraging, we head back to the cruise.
