“We stayed for 3 nights and were extremely happy with everything. We especially enjoyed the organised trip to the Tangkoko National Park where we saw Tarsiers and Black macaques, the stop at the extremely delicious Lake Tondano Restaurant and we enjoyed exploring the area by ourselves with minibuses and the useful advice of the Highland Resort staff.”
