Onong Resort is built on a quiet, sandy beachfront where you can snorkel or dive the house reef just in front of the property. Staying here means you get to shorten your boat journey times and do your night dives within the park. The Italian owners ensure that food is high on the list of priorities and there is always plenty of fresh ciabatta and all manner of pasta on the menu.
Expand your own marine knowledge at the new marine biology laboratory and learn about the biodiversity of Bunaken from the centre of international studies on Siladen. Onong is a favourite with Europeans and students of the underwater world keen to study the myriad species found in the exceptionally rich waters of the Bunaken Marine Park.
