WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
When you visit us at Island Retreat,
you will find one of the last untouched places in the world.
Within twenty to forty minutes from the Retreat, you will find the three
major reef formations - fringing reef, barrier reef, and atoll.
It is rare to come across all 3 formations in one
place. The Togian Islands are known for this uniqueness.
There are over three hundred species of coral, some may even be unclassified,
and a wonderful diversity of life and color in the underwater
realm.
Along with great diving and snorkelling in the warm, turquoise
water, the wiildlife is very diverse. Hardwood forests shelter beautiful birds of different species and other interesting inhabitants
of the forest and mangrove.
Island Retreat is located in the Togian Islands of Central
Sulawesi, Indonesia. We are on the westernmost part of the
island of Batudaka, surrounded by sea, a long white sand beach,
mangrove, and rainforest. The equator lies 30 kilometers north
of us and to the west, between Sulawesi and Borneo, is the
Wallace Line, which divides the New and Old Worlds, characterized
by their flora and fauna. Some endemic species of the Togian
Islands and endangered species such as the coconut crab and
the dugong and the marsupial Cuscus bear, might be seen.
We may be not so easy to get to, but our isolation helps
to maintain the uniqueness of the Togians.
We can help you with your local travel arrangements to visit
us. Ask about our TransSulawesi Tour.
