Feel the magic of Gangga Island
This exotic resort, built under shady palms and surrounded by tropical gardens running directly down to a beach of pure white sand, is located on the tip of the small island of Gangga in North Sulawesi - from Manado International Airport only one hour by car, then half an hour on our boats.
With its more than 25 world class diving locations the island offers a wonderful variety of marine life. It is also an ideal starting point for diving the sites at Bangka Island, the Bunaken National Marine Park, the Lembeh Strait, and for visiting the Tangkoko Nature Reserve and the Minahasa Highlands.
The resort features bungalows, each with two rooms and built in the local Minahasa style, with a
spacious veranda overlooking the beach and neighbouring islands. Naturally, all this accommodation is equipped with every feature and fixture now internationally expected of a first class resort: comfortable furnishings, bathroom with shower, hot and cold water, air conditioning and ceiling fan, mini bar, complimentary coffee and tea maker, satellite television with international channels, and sports facilities including a swimming pool.
The restaurants and bars are featuring international and Indonesian Cuisine.
In Pasung SPA are introduced some wonderful SPA treatments, combining rare therapies from the
Minhasa families on Gangga Island; Reflexology and traditional Balinese Aromatherapy, this is the ancient art of using the healing power of aromatic essential oils, distilled from plant sources, flowers, leaves and bark of trees.
Getting to Gangga - International flights connect from Los Angeles to Singapore or Bali. From there fly Silk Air or Merpati to Manado. From Manado International Airport, the transfer is one hour by car, then half an hour by boat.
From a diver’s perspective, the best aspects of Gangga Island Resort are the scuba diving options it affords us. 
Nearby are the islands of Bangka and Talise. These offer some of the most beautiful soft coral diving to be found. While large fish are somewhat scarce, you will find fields of pristine hard corals, a variety of reef fishes, and forests of large and colorful soft coral trees, truly a delight to behold.
The blue water and healthy coral reefs were a welcome change after a week of “muck diving” in Lembeh Strait. It is all the more enjoyable to be able to do this quality diving with short boat rides, and the ability to return to the comforts of a top notch dive resort at the end of each day. We encourage you to see and enjoy Gangga for yourself!
