Difficult to get to
In a nutshell
Be patient with transport and enjoy the environment
Daihappydai Says: While many people will spend their time on the Togians either underwater or lying on the beach, there are also some great walks to be done. From Katupat on Pulau Togean it is possible to walk over the hills to villages on the opposite tip. It was market day in Katupat so we...
Exploring the sea in the Togians
Daihappydai Says: You don't have to be a diver to get a great experience of what lies underwater in the Togians. While there has been some damage to coral and reefs through dynamite fishing, there are still some great sights to behold. Staying at Fadhila Cottages on Pulau Pangempa meant there...
Daihappydai Says: When in the Togians, take the time to visit a Baju, sea gypsy, settlement. Some of the sea gypsies live permamently on boats and only come to land to buy rice and trade for other supplies. Some have no fixed address, no country of residence. One group of Baju have built a...

Fadhila Cottages, Togian Islands: Peaceful surrounds with a friendly family
Daihappydai Says: If you are heading for the Togians to relax rather than party, Fadhila Cottages offers simple bungalows with attached bucket bathrooms on a beautiful island with very friendly owners and superb meals. Somehow, with every meal, there was a form of bread, scones or pizza even...

It`s mostly fish and rice in the 3 resorts of Kedidiri, best of them is Paradise.
No other possibility unless you go to Wakai.

Daihappydai Says: It is not easy getting to the Togians from either the south or the north. A lot of patience is required, but ultimately that patience is rewarded. Ferries leave from Ampana to Wakai almost daily and while the distance doesn't seem far in kilometers, it takes 4 to 6 hours....

While fishing is the main source of income, selling or trading dried coconut provides a much needed supplement for many on the Togian Islands. Scaling 20 metre tall trees with ease and then drying the coconut over open fires is a common task for men on the islands. The locals are happy to share their produce with you - make a small offering.

Miscellaneous: The closest shops (not well stocked) are in Wakai, better selections (but still limited) in Ampana or Gorantolo, anything you need you should bring.
