“Playing at sea” - Bunaken, Indonesia. May 2010.
Isn’t it fun that you can take a boat and row yourself to sea like these children here? The waves are not strong, that’s why it’s perfectly safe (and good news for you who are prone to sea-sickness).
Stationary boat in Bunaken, Indonesia. May 2010.
The sea is very quiet in Bunaken, which makes it easy for people to snorkel. See, no waves.
“Off We Go!”. Bunaken, Indonesia. May 2010.
We used this boat for our snorkeling trip in Liang Beach, Bunaken.
Liang Beach, Bunaken, Indonesia. May 2010.
Bunaken is famous for its coral reefs, and one of the easier access options in Indonesia if you like to snorkel and dive. I haven’t had my diving license yet, so we made a one-day trip to Bunaken from Manado (only 45 minutes speed boat ride) and snorkeled around Liang Beach area. On the background you can see Manado Tua (Old Manado) which is a dormant volcano next to Bunaken Island.

“View of Manado Bay” from Bumi Beringin Restaurant, Manado, Indonesia. May 2010.
Bumi Beringin is a bit of an overpriced Minahasa-Indonesian restaurant. The food is great, but the locals just wont pay the price that they offer only just for the food. What you do get is the nice view from the area overlooking Manado Bay, and also the nice colonial setting that the restaurant have.
