Discover Tojo Una-Una Regency
Accommodation in Tojo Una-Una Regency
Coral reefs, island nature and vibrant traditions define Tojo Una-Una Regency. Kepulauan Togean National Park is administratively located in Kabupaten Tojo Una-Una, in the province of Central Sulawesi. Planning a trip here leads you to a region where nature experiences on the islands combine with a variety of cultural impressions. When planning your stay, it is worth first considering which of these aspects you would most like to discover.
Corals, forests and island nature
The Togean Tojo Una-Una Biosphere Reserve lies at the centre of the global Coral Triangle, which has the highest diversity of coral species in the world. The forests and marine areas of the Togean Islands are also considered unique: the islands lie along the Wallacea Line and the Weber Line. Kepulauan Togean National Park covers 365,240 hectares. Its size and distinctive location give nature the space it occupies in the region.
The reefs of the Togean Islands include fringing reefs, barrier reefs, patch reefs and atoll reefs. The islands are home to 38 coral species and around 307 marine species. Notable residents include Paracheilinus togeanensis, a fish endemic to the Togean Islands that can be found at several dive sites. Anyone interested in the underwater world will find several specific points of interest here: the different types of reef, the diversity of marine life and a fish native only to this island world.
Danau Mariona is also part of the natural environment of the Togean Islands in Kabupaten Tojo Una-Una. The lake is home to non-stinging jellyfish. The corals and underwater fauna of Pulau Papan, meanwhile, make it an attraction for diving and snorkelling trips. Snorkelling and diving are generally among the experiences offered at locations on the Togean Islands. If you are looking for a holiday rental, this focus can be a good starting point when choosing where you would like to stay.
Island experiences and routes
On Pulau Papan, a sea bridge around one kilometre long connects Pulau Papan with Pulau Malenge. The bridge is a distinctive destination among the island experiences; Pulau Papan’s corals and underwater fauna also offer a reason to go diving and snorkelling. Gunung Colo, a trekking attraction reached by footpath, is located on Pulau Una-Una. Visits are permitted only when volcanic conditions are not dangerous. This restriction is an important part of planning and sets the excursion apart from experiences centred on reefs and the sea.
Another option for including island locations in your plans is Pulau Tilupan, also known as Desa Katupat, in Kecamatan Togean. It can be reached by speedboat or katinting boat. When looking for accommodation, it makes sense to first list the experiences you want and their named locations: the underwater world, trekking or a visit to Pulau Tilupan each leads to a different starting point and the modes of transport mentioned here.
Culture and places on land
Desa Benteng is home to a historic site associated with the Kingdom of Togean. The maritime culture of the Bajo is presented as a tourist attraction in Desa Kabalutan. Labuan offers another distinctive aspect of this culture: the Bajo settlement built over the sea is considered an attraction for visitors around the village harbour and embodies local traditions. These places offer cultural attractions to complement the nature and marine experiences.
There are also two spring locations to distinguish for trips on land. Air Panas Marowo can be reached by two- or four-wheeled vehicle. Permandian Malotong in Desa Malotong, Kecamatan Ampana Kota, can also be reached by two- or four-wheeled vehicle. Permandian Alam Malotong is located in Kelurahan Malotong, Kecamatan Ampana Kota, Kabupaten Tojo Una-Una; its spring water is clear and cool. When choosing a holiday rental, you can therefore consider whether your stay will focus more on island nature and marine activities, or also include these named places on land.
As your next destination within Kabupaten Tojo Una-Una, you can discover Walea Kepulauan.
