The 2-hour drive to the 9000-hectare National Park is quite scenic as we pass through small villages. Upon arrival, immediately check in to Mama Roos Home-stay or equivalent. You will then be guided by local forest rangers (and Tiara staff) in search of the Black Crested Macaque (Black Monkey indigenous to North Sulawesi), hornbills, and couscous as well as other fauna specific to the reserve. Depending on what time it gets dark, we will head into the denser part of the jungle as the sun is setting, where you will (most likely) be able to get photographs of the Tarsier Spectrum (the world's smallest primate). After it is completely dark and the Tarsier has departed for their nightly foraging, we head back to the home stay for a basic traditional dinner. Overnight - dinner DAY 02: Morning Trekking ( B,L,D) Rising early, you will again hike into the forest with local rangers where you will have the best opportunity to view more birds and certainly the Black Crested Macaque as these monkeys are earlier risers and are searching out food along the coastline at Tangkoko. After several hours it's back to the home-stay for a traditional breakfast and prepares to trek Mahawu volcano to have some experience on the top of the mountain, This is soft adventure at its best!! Arriving at the base of Mount Mahawu we begin the 1-hour trek to the crater's edge. From that vantage point we can see Bunaken & Manado Tua Islands, as well as the bay of Manado.
