Questions about this trip
Answered by the team who runs it.
How do I get to the trip starting point?
The trip starts and ends in Luwuk, Central Sulawesi. Fly into Syukri Amir Airport (LUW) from Jakarta or Makassar, where our team will pick you up for the transfer to the harbor.
Are the jellyfish in Mariona Lake really safe to swim with?
Yes! The jellyfish in Mariona Lake have been isolated from ocean predators for thousands of years and have lost their stinging capabilities, making it completely safe to swim alongside them.
Is scuba diving available on this trip?
Yes, scuba diving can be added for certified divers, particularly at famous sites like the B-24 Bomber Wreck and Una Una's volcanic walls.
