Have you ever travelled for several days to reach a far-flung, unknown place? Have you ever been stuck for one week in an amazing archipelago far away from almost everything? If you ever go to Sulawesi, e.g. to experience a funeral ceremony in Tana Toraja or to dive the walls of Bunaken Islands – as most visitors to Sulawesi tend to do – allow yourself to visit the Togean Islands. You will not regret it!
The Togean Islands, or just the Togeans, is an archipelago of 56 pristine coral and volcanic islands and islets located in the Gulf of Tomini in Central Sulawesi. The surrounding coral reef supports a rich, diverse marine life and life over the surface, the people, consists of around seven ethnic groups.
Anders went there for one week in July 2006, primarily to do some diving and island hopping. Actually, the Togeans are the only place in Indonesia where you can find all major reef types in the same place; atoll, barrier and fringing reefs.
