Bunaken National Marine Park is one of the major tourist destinations in Manado city (my mom’s hometown) in North Sulawesi. On the 6th day of our New Year’s vacation in Manado we decided to rent a glass bottom boat and went snorkeling around the Bunaken island.

It takes about 30 minutes boat ride from Manado port to Bunaken

Ladies on board to Bunaken
We didn't bring our kids. We left them at their auntie's house

Approaching to the island we could see a magnificent underwater scenery through the glass bottom of the boat
So actually you don't have to be wet to enjoy Bunaken

Time for snorkeling

That's my cousin. She's a PE teacher so naturally she swims better than any of us and had a great time exploring Bunaken

And that is me floating on the surface...
Didn't dare to take off my life jacket

The guide tried to teach me to dive but I still prefer wearing my life jacket

Finished snorkeling, we landed to the island for sightseeing

Hope you enjoy our pictures at Bunaken Marine Park
Happy

I’m so envy… such a great experience! Your post prompted me to pester my hubby to bring me to Renang for snorkeling!
And it’s warm too. It’s freezing here. I’m jealous.
Have a terrific, warm WW.

Wow the pictures are fantastic and it’s so clear! I’m guessing you took some of these through the glass in the bottom of the boat. Awesome captures!
Yes, and we also equipped our camera with underwater case to take some underwater pictures
The underwater photos are sure nice

I vividly remember the fun we all had when we went out to the sea to experience the “butanding” or whale shark in Donsol, Sorsogon. Even our baby of just 12 months were with us in the boat!
