This tour operator in Manado is the gateway to Bunaken National Park — prime underwater and island photography: coral gardens, reef fish, turtles, and dramatic atoll silhouettes at sunrise/sunset. Best visited during the dry season (Apr–Oct). Book early-morning boats for calm seas and soft light; expect park entry and boat fees, basic parking in Sario, and strict reef-conservation rules (no anchoring, respect guides). Bring permits for drones and a waterproof housing for camera gear.
