Discover the Untamed Beauty of Sangihe

Sangihe's allure lies in its untouched wilderness and isolation. This remote paradise boasts dramatic landscapes where calderas emerge from golden beaches, and by night, the Siau volcano lights up the sky with its fiery red lava. Adventure seekers can dive into an underwater volcano or explore the Ruang Lava Flow—a vast expanse of black lava cascading down the mountainside and transforming into a stunning coral reef as it meets the ocean.

Dive into Mahengetang Volcano

One of the most extraordinary experiences in Sangihe is diving at the Mahengetang Volcano. This underwater marvel, with its vent just below the surface, offers a rare opportunity to explore a living volcano beneath the waves. The site is a desolate landscape adorned with massive boulders and constant streams of bubbles rising to the surface, a testament to the gasses escaping from the volcano's depths. The area is covered in a yellow dusting of sulfur deposits, creating an otherworldly scene. Look closer, and you'll discover tiny sea stars, algae, small worms, and budding corals—a young coral reef beginning to flourish. Meanwhile, the opposite side of the volcano has been fully colonized, transforming a once barren seascape into a vibrant coral reef.

Explore Biaro Island

The southernmost island of the Sangihe archipelago, Biaro Island, is a diver's haven with its plateau adorned with patch reefs, pinnacles, and a rich cover of soft corals. The waters here teem with marine life, including schools of sweetlips, snappers, and the distinctive bump-head parrotfish, offering a vivid underwater tableau for divers to explore.
