IDNtribune.com, Touna – If you visit the Togian Islands National Park, don’t forget to stop by one of its main tourist destinations — Kadidiri Island.
Kadidiri Island is located in Tomini Bay, Central Sulawesi, and is part of the Togian Islands National Park. The island features clean white sand and crystal-blue seawater. It is home to more than 200 species of marine life, making it one of the most attractive destinations for international tourists who wish to explore the underwater beauty of the Togian Islands.
Kadidiri Island was formed from a cluster of coral islands with stretches of white sand. This is why its coastline is surrounded by natural and well-preserved coral reefs. The soft texture of the sand that encircles the island makes visitors feel comfortable and eager to spend more time enjoying its scenic beauty.
For those who wish to stay on the island, accommodation is available. Several guesthouses and cottages can be found, such as Wakai Cottages, Kadidiri Paradise Cottages, and Lestari Cottages.
To reach Kadidiri Island, travelers must first cross the sea from Ampana Port to Wakai, which takes about five hours. From Wakai, the journey continues by motorboat to Kadidiri Island, with a travel time of approximately 25–30 minutes.
In addition to its stunning beaches, white sand, and impressive underwater attractions, Kadidiri Island also offers the chance to see coconut crabs at night. These large crabs can often be seen roaming among coconut tree trunks and other vegetation, adding to the island’s unique natural charm.
