You can call us spoiled..... We have been to Raja Ampat twice, Komodo, Wakatobi, Australia, PNG, Fiji etc etc and this place is right up there with all of them. We came in December, so not the best time of year but the diving was still incredible! Healthy reefs with corals as far as the eye can see, and of course, the muck diving! This was our first real time muck diving, it grows on you....But Lembeh is so much more, the corals are just stunning. We will definitely come back here

Hi travellers! Want a challanging volcano climb? Or a more quiet hike with volcano views? Than hike Soputan with Dufry! Be careful: many agencies and guides claim to climb Soputan and than only go to Aiseput viewpoint for too much money....Not Djufry! We went from Tomohon to Pinabetengan with the motor bike in 50 minutes and climbed Aiseput in 3 hours (1400m). From there you have a beautiful view of Soputan, a stratovolcano which can be quite active. Djufry explained a lot of different plants, birds and facts about the volcano. He is very experienced guide, speaks excellent English and is a very talkative and likable guy. With good shoes, gloves and maybe helmet (Soputan is sometimes throwing stones out of its crater) you can climb up to the big and beautiful crater in 2 hours (1800m). But it is only for skilled hikers because of the steep and slippery slopes. Djufry showed me the way up which is very hard to find and brought a helmet for me (falling stones). With his help I could really appreciate the beauty of Soputan. After the climb he brought me to a beautiful hot spring lake. So relaxing! I can highly recommend Djufry for Aiseput viewpoint and Soputan crater! +628124475845
