The Banggai Archipelago contains over 120 islands, the vast majority uninhabited, untouched, and ringed by coral reefs. Island hopping is the most efficient way to experience the breadth of the archipelago — sailing from Luwuk's harbour aboard a private speedboat to whichever islands the day, weather, and your interests dictate.
A typical day combines snorkeling on a remote reef, lunch on a deserted white sand beach, a swim in a turquoise lagoon, and a stop at a Bajo sea-nomad village built entirely on stilts above the sea. Routing is flexible — your captain and guide adjust based on tides, current, and what you want to see.
