Welcome to Lembeh Strait, the heart of the Coral Triangle and the world's premier muck diving destination. This narrow waterway between the islands of North Sulawesi is renowned for its incredible biodiversity and unique underwater landscapes.

Prepare for a day filled with extraordinary encounters with some of the ocean's most elusive and captivating creatures. Below is a sample itinerary to give you an idea of what to expect for your adventure.

Lembeh Day Trip

We depart Coral Eye around 7:30 AM for a full-day trip to the Lembeh Strait. The boat ride takes approximately 90 minutes.

In the morning, we do two muck dives in Lembeh’s famous black sand, a paradise for critter lovers and macro photography enthusiasts.

For lunch, we head to Solitude Resort, where you’ll enjoy a relaxed à la carte meal.

In the afternoon, we dive one more time before making our way back to Coral Eye, aiming to return by 5:00 PM.

Note: 
Lembeh Strait is tailored for divers who appreciate the thrill of discovering rare critters that prefer the protection of low visibility and black sand. If you're a snorkeler or seeking vibrant coral reefs teeming with sea creatures, consider visiting Bunaken National Park instead for a different marine experience.
