    about 2 hours drive away from Manado. The panoramic is astonishing. White sand, blue ocean, quite big wave. Better to go on weekday

    For the ones who don't hire a guide or tour to get there: trust google maps. It doesn't look like it, but it leads you right to the parking lot to the waterfall. Road is ok most of the way and should be doable with a normal car. I parked my scooter five minute walking to the entrance though after almost sliding off a hill.

    I paid 20,000 Rupiah which was ok, given that it is a really nice and well maintained path to the fall. Don't expect a big hike. The waterfall was quite nice and I was the only one there so I could just listen to the water and relax. Overall it's well worth a visit if you are in the area.

    The statue is slightly out of town but not far away. The photo point of Yesus Memberkati Statue is up a hill. The statue is clean and big.

    Mostly 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.

    The tiny tarsier monkey live here and if you can find a guide take the evening hike to see these little guys waking up for their evening of hunting. We saw about 5 on out trip and lots of birds. During the day you can see the other monkeys that are there.

    I 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. Please wear a modest costume as this is sacred place for Chinese community

    Great spot to see sunset. The access is a bit difficult (narrow road). Supporting facilities (toilet, canteen) need to be improved. Nice forest along the way.
