Sulawesi Travel Guide (Banggai, Toraja & Manado)
🎒 96 travelers
Two different trips in one product. The 7-day guide is a focused Banggai Islands route (Luwuk → Peleng → Banggai Laut): local boats, family homestays, snorkelling and almost zero mass tourism — not a Manado/Bunaken holiday. The 14-day guide opens with Toraja and Manado, then continues to the same Banggai arc for a full Sulawesi story. Honest about comfort: this is adventure, not beach clubs. Traveler = the route; Pro = more logistics and depth.
7-day PDF = island-hopping homestays, not resort brochures
14-day PDF weaves Toraja culture + Manado before the Banggai leg

Traveler = the essential day-by-day route and logistics. Pro = more pages, more detail on boats, homestays, timings and the shortcuts we use after multiple trips.
Why trust Gita and Xavi?
Sulawesi doesn't appear in generalist guides because it's hard to reach and harder to do well. We've slept in Banggai homestays, crossed on local ferries, and come back with notes after every trip. This PDF is the route we'd send you before you fly.
