Malenge Island

Pulau Malenge

A forested island in the eastern Togeans with mangrove boardwalks, hornbills and macaques, and some of the best snorkeling coral gardens in the archipelago.

Malenge Island is covered in primary rainforest and mangroves. A community-maintained wooden boardwalk runs through the mangroves, where you can spot hornbills and Togean macaques, and if you're lucky, the rare Togean babirusa. The shallow waters around the island have high hard coral cover, so you can see large patches of coral just by snorkeling. A few simple beachfront wooden huts on the island suit travelers who want to escape the crowds. It connects to Pulau Papan by the wooden bridge and is often visited together with it. The boat trip from Wakai takes about 2 hours.
