Bunaken National Park is a marine destination in North Sulawesi where island landscapes, coastal communities, and coral ecosystems meet. A responsible visit starts with checking boat access, weather, and current park guidance.
Plan from the mainland
Many visitors use Manado as their starting point before continuing by boat. Confirm the current harbour arrangements, crossing times, and return plans before travelling.
Check conditions before entering the water
Sea conditions, visibility, currents, and local rules can change. Use qualified local guides or operators, follow safety instructions, and choose activities suitable for your experience.
Protect the marine environment
Do not touch coral or wildlife, avoid standing on reefs, keep waste out of the water, and respect protected areas and community guidance.
