What travellers are saying
- Gretchen M2 contributionsEasy access from Manado. We took the public ferry from the harbor behind Hotel Celebes - 50,000/ person, riding over with a few tourists and locals and lots of refillable jugs of drinking water. Our guesthouse on the south western crescent of the island - the encircling reef an easy access from the beach across the lagoon (low visibility until you reach the reef). The coral in surprisingly good shape and the plunging drop-off full of schools of reef fish and many,many turtles hanging out, often resting on the wall’s shelves. A couple of dives on this SW side of the island. Why not a 5? The distressing tonnage of plastic trash that sweeps into this crescent from Manado and places unknown. Locals trying to sweep their section of the beach daily but no organized pick up to take the collected crap away. We’re all responsible, every time we toss that one-use plastic away.Written 11 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I love the ambience and the quotes that we found hang on the tree, the area much better with the facilities of bathroom, only no one there selling snacks but I guess because of the pandemic because not many people come at time that's what I enjoy the most heheheWritten 21 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Volson HJakarta, Indonesia122 contributionsOne of the MUST visit location in Manado. Located across the highway but the best spot to take a picture is at the Ciputra Housing. Surely He blessed me!Written 26 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Paul NYogyakarta Region, Indonesia130 contributionsMostly well designed bridge which is has developed to a popular hang-out place for the mostly younger and poorer demographic in this exciting city.
The police here stop motorcyclists for a myriad of reasons or not. This will not affect the average traveler, however.
It takes about 15 minutes for the reasonably athletic to walk from the entrance on the north side of the Boulevard in Manado to the start of the fish restaurant strip.
Those restaurants are subject to another discussion.Written 30 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RahadhianDepok, Indonesia378 contributionsI passed this temple during my morning run along the street at Manado Bay, it's a bit hidden, but the building is very beautiful with red bright color. A must see when you are in Manado. Good place to take a picture.

- mpramuditoMalang, Indonesia24 contributionsGreat spot to see sunset. The access is a bit difficult (narrow road). Supporting facilities (toilet, canteen) need to be improved.
