Bitung – Orlofshús/-íbúðir

Pamela Bandaríkin

My decision to visit Tangkoko national Park and stay at Tangkoko ranger homestay was one of my best moves in my 4 weeks in Indonesia. I had a few days between scuba dives and wanted to see more of Sulawesi and ended up checking out Tangkoko. I had an amazing time and it was all due to Alfrets. The homestay is comfortable and the ac is great, but the real treasure is having Alfrets be your guide for birdwatching, jungle treks, etc. He is an excellent birder, knows the Park extremely well, and has a fabulous knowledge of the wildlife there. As a wildlife biologist myself, I was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge and professional behavior. I simply don't think anyone could do a better job guiding you than Alfrets and I highly recommend booking both his homestay and his services as a guide in this lovely national park.

Where to start? This is a such an energetic, knowledgeable and multitasking family that does everything: guiding, taxiing, tailor made day tours to the mountains and volcano, diving, cooking (amazing food), singing (Eno has such a good voice) and creating new opportunities for their communities and the ones further afield. And to round it all off they do care, consider and work towards conservation not only in what they do but through educating the next generation. Can’t beat it and we ll see you again next time.

the staff is incredibly nice and helpful. i left my water bottle at the lobby and they were very kind and offered to send it to where i am right now. one of very few decent places to stay in bitung, and it's not bad at all for that price range.
