Batu Angus Tour | North Sulawesi Tours

Batu Angus Nature Reserve is located next to Tangkoko nature reserve and home to many amazing creatures. You can find Black Macaque monkeys, Tarsius (the small monkey-like primate), deer, anoa (a miniature water buffalo endemic to Sulawesi), cuscus, hornbill birds, Sulawesi masked owl and many others.

You can spend a wonderful day here filled with hiking, enjoying the rough landscape and the beautiful rocky beaches. The peak of Batu Angus volcano (1.099 m) offers a great view over its caldera with rocks of cooled lava, you can see Lembeh Strait and the surrounding peninsula clearly.

Batu Angus’ Floating Village

At the coast there’s also a floating village where you can visit and have a picnic at. It’s also suitable for snorkeling and you can find the mandarinfish at daytime.

When to go, and how is it organized?

The trekking starts from Kasawari village. It takes around one hour to hike up to the peak of the Batu Angus volcano with its 3 km wide, flat-topped basaltic-andesitic lava dome. From there you can make another 2 hour trek through the beautiful jungle. Considering the fact that there have very little tourists visiting this area, the animals are “really wild & shy”. Thus, you may not be able to see them as close as in Tangkoko nature reserve. This is half a day trip and you can be back at the resort at lunch time.

Alternatively you can also reach Batu Angus via boat and are dropped off at the floating village, and then from there you can trek towards the jungle, or spend a day at the floating village.
