Questions about the Togean Islands
How do I get to the Togean Islands?
Fly to Luwuk (via Makassar). Our team meets you at Luwuk airport, you spend the first night at the Estrella hotel, and on day 2 a car takes you to Pagimana, where the boat waits.
How many days do I need?
At least 8. Our shortest cruise is 8 days and 7 nights; the 10 and 12-day cruises add more time on Kadidiri, Bomba and Una Una.
How much does a Togean cruise cost?
€1,248 per person for 8 days, €1,560 for 10 days and €1,872 for 12 days, including island stays, 3 meals a day on the islands, airport transfers and snorkel gear. Flights and diving are extra.
When is the best time to visit?
March to October usually brings calmer seas, better visibility and more sun. The islands are open all year.
Is there internet in the Togean Islands?
Mobile data is patchy and often absent on the outer islands, and it is not included in the cruise; plan to be offline for most of the trip.
