Trip to Bunaken

If you are in Manado, you will not be considered has been in Manado if you don't go to Bunaken.
Bunaken area, around 45 minutes reached by boat, is a wonderful area to dive and snorkle and enjoying underwater experience.
The coral/reef, are pretty!

It's an island of 8 km², part of the Bunaken National Marine Park.





The Marina

We departed from Marina at 7.30 AM. There were five of us. The boat cost IDR 800,000.
On the way to Bunaken, we stopped awhile. The boat driver, put down a glass box to the water so we can see underwater park.
We couldn't do this if it's afternoon already, because there will be tide and big wave. The glass box will be broken.




On the way to Bunaken

Just arrived

Pose!



Getting ready for snorkling in Bunaken

Let's go snorkling in Bunaken, can you tell me which one is me?

Taking some rest after snorkling
We had fried banana with ground chili and young coconut



I had flu at that time, so I was only able to do snorkling. Diving would impact my ears and I also don't have diving certificate, hehe......
It was tiring but fun.
