Good Advice on Sulawesi

I want to thank everybody for changing my mind about
spending all three weeks of my vacation in Bali. I have
decided to spend the majority of my time in Sulawesi thanks
to a number of recommendations I recieved here on the Thorn
Tree. Also, the following website:
www.1000traveltips.org
was a really useful source of information for me,
definitely worth checking out.
So if anyone has any more sound advice on Sulawesi, like
places to stay, great snorkeling spots, good dive
operations, and windsurfing if it's available. Please let
me know,
Happy travels,
Steve

   Do you know the place Bau-Bau and the snorkeling on P.Hoga ?
   If you have time a must to go.
   I am leaving Wendsday from Switzerland to Manado.

2. Try the Togian Islands Added by: Tony (tony@atrain.com.au)

   A couple of years ago we did a great trip thorugh Sulawesi,
   starting at Manado fo a week's fabulous diving at Bunaken
   then down through the Togian Islands.
   The Togians are beautiful, laid back and there are some
   great snorkelling spots. Probably the best snorkelling
   there was at Bomba, the last island travelling south. If
   you stay at Cecilia Bungalows, run by a lovely family, Mr.
   Ais (pronounced "ice"!) will take you out to the reefs. We
   were lucky enough to snorkel with a pilot whale nearby. I
   don't think it's always there but it was resting inside a
   lagoon.
   After the islands we continued down to Tentena back on then
   mainland and organised a trek in the Lore Lindu jungle,
   another experience I would recommend.
