Most guests fly into Sam Ratulangi International Airport (MDC) in Manado, North Sulawesi. We provide complimentary airport transfers for all guests, including the road transfer from the airport to the harbour and the boat transfer to the resort.
From Manado, the journey to Bunaken Oasis takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes in total, depending on sea conditions and arrival timing.
There are regular connections to Manado from Singapore, Jakarta, Bali, and other major Indonesian hubs. International guests typically connect via Singapore or Jakarta.
Transfers from Lembeh or Gangga can also be arranged for an additional charge.
Our reservations team will coordinate all transfer timings with your flight details before arrival to ensure a smooth and stress-free journey.
Yes, absolutely. We recommend booking dive courses in advance so we can schedule your training, instructor availability and any required materials before your arrival.
Our on-site PADI 5-Star Dive Centre offers one of the most comprehensive training programmes in North Sulawesi. Whether you're taking your first breath underwater with Discover Scuba Diving, earning your Open Water Diver certification, advancing through specialty courses, exploring freediving, or progressing into technical and CCR diving, our experienced team will tailor your training to your goals.
Recreational courses range from Discover Scuba Diving and Open Water Diver through to Divemaster, with specialties including Enriched Air (Nitrox), Deep, Drift, Night, Sidemount, DPV and Underwater Photography. We also offer PADI Freediver programmes alongside a full range of technical diving courses, including Trimix and closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) training.
All courses are conducted by experienced PADI professionals and include instructor tuition, certification and equipment where applicable, unless otherwise stated.
If you are already certified, we also offer refresher programmes such as PADI ReActivate, ideal for divers who have not been underwater for some time.
To reserve a course, simply let our reservations team know which certification or training programme you are interested in when booking your stay, and we will tailor the schedule around your holiday and diving plans.
Please note that all divers are required to provide proof of valid dive insurance before participating in any dive activities.

For mixed groups of divers and non-divers, we can tailor packages so everyone enjoys their own ideal balance of adventure and relaxation.
Bunaken is a year-round diving destination, with warm tropical temperatures and excellent marine biodiversity throughout the year.
The best conditions are typically found between March and November, when seas are generally calmer and visibility is often at its clearest. These months are especially popular for diving, snorkelling, underwater photography, and marine life encounters.
North Sulawesi’s location close to the equator means water temperatures remain consistently warm, usually around 27–29°C, and diving is possible in every season. Even during wetter months, rain showers are often short-lived and marine activity remains exceptional.
Different times of year can also bring different underwater highlights, from schooling fish and turtles to rare macro life and seasonal pelagic sightings. Our team is always happy to advise on the best timing depending on your interests, whether that is wide-angle reef diving, macro photography, snorkelling, or a quieter wellness-focused escape.
We are delighted to announce that Bunaken Oasis is an official sponsor of the 2026 @manadoapneacompetition , the premier international freediving event in Manado Bay.
In a true testament to our passion for the ocean, our General Manager, Kelly Moore (@onemoorebreath ), will also be taking to the water as an official freediving competitor this year.
We believe deeply in elevating the profile of North Sulawesi, proudly supporting prestigious events that showcase the pristine beauty of Manado and Bunaken to the global freediving community.
Best of luck to Kelly and all the incredible athletes!

Morning commutes in the Coral Triangle look a little different. 🐢✨ Gliding from the bustling sunlit reef flats right over the edge of the sheer drop-off is an experience that never gets old.

Hovering at the edge of Bunaken’s reef top, it looks like paradise. Step over the ledge, however, and the world completely changes.
Beyond 40 meters, the reef unveils its hidden side with giant black coral trees, quiet caverns, and pelagics cruising the deep ocean currents. Every meter deeper feels like unlocking a secret chapter of the ocean that few ever get to read. 💙

If you look closely beneath the sunlit canopy of a mangrove forest, a quiet miracle takes place every single morning.
In the sheltered waters held between tangled roots, young fish, and tiny marine creatures spend their earliest days hidden safely away from open ocean predators. It is nature`s ultimate nursery, quiet, and teeming with new life.
When we protect mangrove forests, we are not just saving trees. We are safeguarding the future of the entire marine food chain.
