This is a brand spanking new tour on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. We start in Palu, on the west coast of Central Sulawesi province, where we’ll have a warm up ride along the coast of Palu Bay, to idyllic Prince John Dive Resort . We’ll ride eastwards over the central mountain range, passing by Coffee Plantation village, to the coast of Tumini Bay to circumnavigate tranquil Lake Poso after which we’ll descend back to and follow the palm fringed coast to Ampana where we’ll speedboat to the coral reefs of Togian Island. And then on to the neat little port town of Gorontalo overlooked by a 15th century Portugese fort.
