From Gorontalo


Some of the TOP Hotels in Bali

Bali's most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation, shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged every night of the week and the streets are full of arts-and-crafts galleries.

Achmad Yani, has 4 flights weekly to Manado, Rp13,450. But on its flights to Poso, Palu, Luwuk, etc., you must fly via Manado which makes it very dear: to Luwuk it comes to Rp27,750! Cheaper is to fly direct to these places with Bouraq airlines. From Gotontalo Bouraq has 4 flights a week to Palu, Rp14,500, and to Balikpapan (East Kalimantan), Rp28,150. Costs Rp1000 to get out to Gorontalo's airport, 32 km north. The Bouraq people will come by to pick you up. from Gorontalo by boat: Take a horsecart down to the harbor, Rp100. As you trundle by on the bendi shout out, We mana?' down the long row of boats to find out where they're sailing. From Gorontalo there are at least 2 small kapal motors a week to the other side of Teluk Tomini. There are at least 3 directions to choose from:1) The easy way is to take a boat to Parigi, then travel by op/et or minibus to Palu or to Donggala. You can fly from Palu. Or take a boat or ship from Donggala south to Pare Pare or to Ujung Pandang.2) Take a boat from Gorontalo's harbor 3-5 days to either Bunta, Pagimana, Ampana or Parigi on the southern shore of Teluk Tomini. P.T. Lamala has boats going to all these points and is the cheapest company; for example, to Ampana it costs Rp3000 while other companies charge Rp4-5000. From any of these villages there are boats departing for Poso on the southernmost shore of Tomini Bay but be prepared for a wait, departure times aren't at all regular. Ampana to Poso, Rp2500; Parigi to Poso, Rp2500. Ampana is your best bet as a place to get a boat to as there is a penginapan there (bargain hard for Rp400 rooms) and a few places to eat; just nasi campur, and no ice.3) From Pagimana, go by road to Luwuk where boats are available to Kendari to the south or north to Bitung.
