Manado Tua

An extinct volcanic island that rises to 822 meters in Bunaken National Marine Park, Manado Tua is clearly visible from the Manado city waterfront and forms the dramatic backdrop to the park's coral reefs and diving operations. The volcano's densely forested cone is home to endemic bird species, and the traditional villages on its slopes maintain fishing and agricultural communities. The island's elevation and conical profile make it one of North Sulawesi's most recognizable coastal landmarks.
