North Minahasa Expedition
Welcome to the North Minahasa Seagrass Expeditions, where the enchanting coastal beauty of North Minahasa becomes our living laboratory. Our mission focuses on seagrass meadows and dugongs, gathering vital data to protect these critical ecosystems. This expedition is based in the picturesque villages of Bahoi, Bulutui, and Tarabitan, promising a unique blend of scientific discovery and cultural immersion.
To join the Wallacea Expeditions in North Minahasa, Sulawesi, Indonesia, volunteers must arrange their own travel to Manado. The nearest international entry point is Sam Ratulangi International Airport (MDC) in Manado, which has connections to several national and international airports. Once in Manado, our Wallacea Expeditions staff will meet you either at the airport or at your accommodation in the city and transport you to our local partner homestay in Bahoi.
For those who prefer to travel to Bahoi independently, there are several options available:
- Hire a Car and Driver: Approximate cost is IDR 600,000 (~USD 41).
- Take a DAMRI Bus: These irregular buses cost around IDR 25,000 (~USD 2).
- Rent a Scooter or Motorbike: This option provides 24/7 independent mobility, but you will need an International Driver’s Licence.
We look forward to welcoming you to North Minahasa for this unique conservation experience!
