On a beautiful location on Bunaken Island you will find the Bunaken SeaGarden Resort.
A small and cosy dive resort with modern spacey cottages build in a traditional style.
The colourful coral gardens from the Bunaken National Park are right in front of the resort and only a minute swimming away you will find the Bunaken Timur reef, one of the most famous diving and snorkelling spot within the marine park.
Perfect for divers, snorklers and of course underwater photographers.
Accommodations and diving for reasonable prices.
