This is an easy, relaxing tour exploring the Minahasa volcanic highland area. You will leave Divers Lodge Lembeh in the morning and will be taken by car to Lake Tondano which, at an altitude of approximately 700 metres, stretches out in a volcanic caldera.
You will see scenic Minahasa farming villages located along the lakeshore where aquaculture and the growing of flowers, vegetables, rice, corn, cloves and vanilla are predominant. From there a panoramic road with spectacular views of Mt. Klabat and the Moluccan Sea will take you to Tomohon. After a short visit to the Tomohon market, where one can buy smoked rats, dogs and other unusual things, you will continue to Lahendong for a stroll along the colour changing Lake Linow which is rich in sulphur and thermal activity. You can then visit the traditional pottery village of Pulutan and afterwards have lunch in a restaurant on the shores of Lake Tondano. Before returning to Divers Lodge Lembeh, you will have the opportunity to stop at Sawangan to see the ancient Waruga sarcophagi.
