One-day tours

The enchantment of the diversity of Indonesia 

Sulawesi, Orchid Island, jewel of the Indian Ocean, diving paradise, and one of the earth’s most magnificent highlands – innumerable descriptions of what is hard to describe: the radiant beauty of this little island. However, you have to travel Sulawesi yourself to experience the endless white sandy beaches, the rites of the Toraja culture, the mystic historic heritage of the different ethnic groups and indigenous tribes, the heartfelt joy of islanders, rice farmers, and ordinary fishermen, and the unique coral reefs surrounding Sulawesi that belong to the world’s most beautiful and pristine ones. A deep green mountain landscape with coconut and cocoa plantations, rice terraces, and roaring waterfalls. Hundreds of voices of hundreds of different bird species, the lives of water buffaloes, and rare species of monkeys in the rain forest. You can enjoy more than 300 days of sunshine per year at the Prince John Dive Resort and the most beautiful places!
One-day tours:

 


Dolphin watching adopting their playfulness…

Schools of dolphins passing by the coast: On our special tour, we will watch their natural behaviour at close. An unforgettable experience! What is most impressing is their playfulness, joy, and intelligence. Dolphins can touch the bottom of your heart! They make you feel free and joyful having the ability to heal. It is generally known that thanks to their extraordinary intuition they particularly turn to sick persons and children. When playing with dolphins, you will feel bewitched without being able to explain!

 


Following the track of the rain forest …

A deep green misty rain forest, a mysterious atmosphere, iguanas scurrying through the grass, squirrel monkeys in a jungle of lianas and metres-high carnivorous plants, colourful butterflies, and rare bird species the feathers of which glitter in a million colours: In the primary forest of Sulawesi, nature offers an incredible variety of unique and colourful impressions. On our rain forest tour, we would like to show you the magic of an impressive trip full of adventure, freedom, and the flair of discovering nature, including lots of fun! 

 


Trip to the Air Terjun Sulewana waterfalls

Those who are inspired by the sight of impressive rock and water formations, will be absolutely stunned seeing the Air Terjun Sulewana waterfalls. The water rushes down via 13 stone steps within the wildness of a dark green jungle flowing directly into the crystal clear freshwater Lake Poso, which is among the most beautiful lakes of Indonesia. Enjoy the magnificent facets of nature that will remain unforgotten, even for non-divers.

 


Exciting tour to the equator

Any object moving on earth is influenced by the so-called Coriolis effect, which results from the earth’s rotation. The physicist Isaac Newton was the first to discover this influence on objects. Taking part in our tour to the equator, you will learn about physics in the most exciting and realistic way. As the earth does not only rotate around its own axis, but the earth’s axis is also oblique, the Coriolis effect does not exist at the equator. We will experience the Coriolis effect live by means of three simple experiments. On our tour, you will discover the ”Navel of the World”: Here goes the line that divides our globe into two hemispheres. Thus, it is only natural that taking a photo exactly at latitude 0 is a must!

 


Experience both the mystic culture and the colours of the regional way of living

Those who want more than only sunbathing may take part in our tours thus experiencing the magic of nature and getting in touch with natives and their way of living. A 20-minute walk along the coast will lead us to the centre of Donggala where we will visit the local market. In the shade of palm trees, we will enjoy tropical fruit, watch the fishermen mending their nets, and get to know typical Sulawesi customs! Continuing our walk through the fertile land, we will discover rice terraces, cocoa and coffee plantations, and explore the mystic culture of the Bada Valley. In the mountains, we will admire the artistic carvings on houses as well as the famous megalithic tombs of the Toraja culture. Another highlight will be the visit to a traditional Ikat weaving mill providing an interesting insight into Sulawesi handicraft.
