Lake Tondano
Danau Tondano
North Sulawesi's largest lake, surrounded by mountains and rice fields, with fresh tilapia and freshwater fish feasts on the shore.
Lake Tondano covers about 46 square kilometres and sits at an elevation of around 600 meters. It is a highland lake encircled by volcanoes, with fishermen's bamboo and wooden rafts on the water and rice paddies and villages along its shores. The road around the lake offers lovely scenery. In the Remboken area on the lakeshore, restaurants built over the water serve grilled freshwater fish and spicy Minahasan dishes. It is about 1 to 1.5 hours' drive from Manado and is often combined with Tomohon and Lake Linow as a day trip.
