Practical Notes
Banggai is an island destination where connections are less predictable than in mainstream tourist destinations. Allow extra time for ferry changes, sea conditions and road travel. Carry cash, drinking water, sun protection and a dry bag for marine activities.
Start in Luwuk, follow the islands, and discover the hidden paradise of Banggai.
