Togian Islands, where there are


You are here: Home --> Asia --> Indonesia --> Togian Islands



On the Togian Islands, a small Indonesian archipelago in the Gulf of Tomini, the climate is tropical, hot all year round, with a relatively dry season from July to September. The main islands are Batudaka, Togean and Talatakoh; then there are islands such as Unauna (where there is a small volcano, Colo), Waleakodi, Waleabahi, Dolong, and Puah, plus several islets.
Temperatures are high and uniform throughout the year. They are slightly higher both in April-May and from September to November, and a bit lower in July and August.
Here are the average temperatures of the town of Gorontalo, which is located on the island of Sulawesi and is the starting point to reach the islands (together with Ampana).

Rainfall is not very abundant, since we are in a quite sheltered area, although it is quite well distributed throughout the year, in fact, the landscape is lush. Anyway, there is the northeast monsoon from November to March, which particularly affects the north slope of Sulawesi, i.e. the coast of the Celebes Sea, while it is not very effective on the south side and in the Gulf of Tomini, and the southeast monsoon from June to September, which is usually quite dry, although it can bring some rain, especially at the beginning of the period (June), and a bit of wind especially on the southern slopes (see Luwuk). Then, there is a certain increase in rainfall due to the two zenith passages of the sun, from April to June and in October and November. Furthermore, the rains may increase in La Niña years.
Here is the average rainfall in Gorontalo.

Best Time


The best time to travel to the Togian Islands and enjoy their beaches goes from July to September, since it is normally the driest period of the year.

What to pack


All year round, bring light clothes of natural fibers, a sun hat, a scarf for the breeze, and a light sweatshirt for the evening.
When going to the reef, you can bring snorkeling equipment, including water shoes or rubber-soled shoes.
