Top Local Tips for Manado

Raja Sate (near Boulevard, JL Pierre Tendean No.39) Fantastic food 20 mins ride away from the resort hotel. Take the free shuttle provided by hotel and arrange before hand for the return trip to pick you up at a fix time. Order the satay, barbeque chicken, fried garopa, shaved ice. Mee Goreng is a must. Great food and services at cheap prices. We ordered too much food for 2 and it only cost approximately USD15.

Power Adaptor Bring yr own power multi adaptor along though i got one from the hotel without any problem

diving and snorkeling The main reason for tourists is to do snorkeling and especially diving at the Bunaken and Siladen islands. In retrospect the trip we did could have been better had we stayed on the resort at the Siladen island. Some of the diving sites at Siladen and Bunaken are incredible! One can get a lot out of the trip by doing snorkeling, but diving there is quite a bit better.
