When you dive Lembeh you will have to fly into the Manado International Airport, then it a 2hour car ride to the city of Bitung followed by a 15min boat ride to our resort.
The easiest flight option is to fly direct to Singapore – there are many direct flights from most major cities like London, Paris, Frankfurt, etc. You can then catch a Silk Air flight to Manado.
Silkair, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, operate a 3.5hr direct flight from Singapore to Manado every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
There are regular flights from most European cities to cities in Indonesia such as Jakarta & Bali. From Jakarta & Bali it is possible to take internal flights to Manado, and these are very frequent. Click on the logo’s below of the major airlines of Lion Air, Garuda and Batavia, and get the flight schedules from their websites.
You will need to head to the harbour/ beach called Lipi, about 2-3 km further on from Bitung.
If you are going by public bus from Manado then you need to change at Terminal Tangkoko to get a mikrolet (blue Suzuki van) for Bitung, and once in Bitung take a ojek (motorbike) the last 2-3 km to Tandu Rusa. There are other harbours in Bitung so you will need to tell the ojek driver to take you to Lipi – they will try and take you to the Ruko harbour but we cannot pick up from this.
Once in Lipi, please call us so that we can send the transport boat to collect you. If you have not already contacted us in advance, it could take up to 30 mins for the boat to reach you – it depends on tides, whether the transport boat is being used for something else, etc.
