Manado, an exotic year-round dive holiday destination, is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty. The lush coconut palms, sandy beaches, and pristine reefs of Bunaken National Park are set against the backdrop of towering volcanoes and thriving rainforests. North Sulawesi is a diver’s paradise, home to the famous Lembeh Strait, known for its rare camouflaged critters. As the epicenter for marine life, this area boasts more species than anywhere else on the planet, with new discoveries being made daily.
Nestled next to the clear blue sea, Tasik Ria is an intimate boutique-style resort offering 34 rooms with either pool or sea views. Located on Tanawangko Bay, just 12 to 13 miles from Bunaken National Park, the resort provides easy access to the region’s renowned dive sites.
