Our philosophy is based on:

Eco-lodges and sustainable stays
Low-impact tourism
Authentic cultural encounters
A slow and mindful travel pace
Perfect for travellers looking for sustainable travel in Indonesia without compromising comfort.


Remote Island Life in Tumbak
Your journey begins on a hidden island in North Sulawesi, where time slows down and nature takes centre stage.

Stay in simple beachfront bungalows designed to support local communities and responsible tourism initiatives. Snorkel directly from the shore, enjoy fresh local cuisine and connect with traditional island life.

This is Indonesia at its most genuine.

Tarsiers (the world’s smallest primates)
Black crested macaques
Hornbills and endemic bird species

World-class snorkeling and diving
Vibrant coral walls
Secluded tropical beaches
Eco-resorts by the sea
Many lodges actively support marine conservation, reinforcing the trip’s sustainable ethos.
