Each evening, a technique advice and video playback session will be held using the footage from earlier in the day. The mornings will be taken up by your swimming experiences, and the afternoons will be open for you to perhaps try out some scuba diving, or to take up some free diving lessons, and don’t forget to treat yourself to a spa session or two, during the week.

Your swimming distances will range from 2km to 7km from point to point.  Actual swim locations and distances will vary according to weather conditions.

An afternoon visit to the Tasikoko Wildlife Rescue Centre is a must:

Tasikoko is established as a facility to enable the confiscation of animals from illegal wildlife traders and smugglers.  The rescue team assists the authorities by investigating wildlife crimes and providing evidence to aid prosecution.

Sulawesi, being the closest Indonesian island to the Philippines, has been exploited as a consolidation point for illegal shipments of wildlife and wildlife products from Java, Sumatra, Borneo, and the islands in the Eastern part of the Indonesian archipelago, especially Papua.

Orangutans, sun bears, gibbons, tarsiers, lorises, and pangolins were some of the most endangered mammals smuggled out of the country; however, cockatoos, hornbills, birds of paradise as well as turtles and other reptiles were shipped out in even bigger quantities.

The current team at Tasikoki is trying to establish financial self-sustainability of the project, develop the capacity to recommence active rescue and education work, as well as develop the knowledge and standards of the local staff for the better care of captive wildlife.

From sprawling peanut plantations to craftsmen working with ceramics and wood, the wonders of this destination are many and the surprises are very worth the journey.  Enjoy lunch at a restaurant built over the water of a large inland lake before you begin the descent back to Lembeh, with many precious memories of Indonesia and its magical local flavor!
