Sangihe: One of Sulawesi’s Best-Kept Secrets

At the very northern tip of Sulawesi, between Indonesia and the Philippines, lies Sangihe — an archipelago of volcanic islands surrounded by clear seas and coral reefs.

Small fishing villages line the shores, the slopes are covered in greenery, and locals travel between the islands by boat. There are still few tourists here, and Sangihe has held on to what is becoming rarer in Indonesia's popular spots — quiet, untouched nature, and a traditional island way of life.
Northern Sulawesi is just as interesting on land. Not far from Manado live tarsiers — tiny nocturnal primates with enormous eyes that you can hardly find anywhere outside this region. Waterfalls are tucked away in the greenery, and off the coast of Sangihe the coral reefs descend underwater along with the volcanic slopes, creating an unusual underwater landscape.
And the farther you go from Manado, the less anything around you recalls touristy Indonesia. Wild beaches, small islands in the middle of the ocean, and almost untouched nature bring back that feeling of discovery that is increasingly hard to find in travel today. When there's an empty shore in front of you and not a soul around, for a few minutes at least you can feel a little like Columbus.
