Manado Tua Island
Pulau Manado Tua
A cone-shaped extinct volcanic island in Bunaken Marine Park. It is a landmark of Manado Bay and a popular dive site for seeing sea turtles.
Manado Tua means “Old Manado.” It is a dormant volcanic island about 800 metres high with an almost perfectly conical shape, visible from Manado's seafront and from Bunaken Island. Several fishing villages are on the island. Visitors can hike the mountain path to a point halfway up for views of the bay. The coral walls and ledges around the island are among the park's best dive spots for sea turtles, and it is often combined with diving at Bunaken Island. To climb the mountain, you need to hire a local guide from the village. The island has almost no tourist facilities.
