Tangkoko Batuangus Nature Reserve
Cagar Alam Tangkoko Batuangus
A tropical rainforest where you can get close to the tarsier, one of the world's smallest primates, along with Sulawesi crested macaques and hornbills.
Tangkoko lies north of Bitung at the foot of Mount Duasudara and is the easiest place to see Sulawesi's endemic animals. In the late afternoon, guides take visitors to a large banyan tree to wait for tarsiers to emerge from its hollows. During the day, you may see troops of Sulawesi crested macaques, red-knobbed hornbills, and bear cuscus. The entrance is in Batuputih village. Entrance and guide fees are paid on site. Visiting around 3 p.m. is recommended. It is about 2 hours by car from Manado, and you can stay in eco-cabins in the village.
