Getting to Buyat Bay

QUESTION: Where is critters@buyat located?
-ANSWER: We are currently operating out of the Lakban Bungalow Complex, located in the heart of Buyat Bay.  The surrounding scenery is nothing short of stunning with striking jungle-covered mountains giving way to sweeping arcs of white and black sand bays.  


-QUESTION: How do I get there?
-ANSWER: Currently we offer transfers either direct from Manado Airport or Manado-area Hotels by car or via boat from our sister operation critters@lembeh at Lembeh Resort.  Transfers from Manado are an average of three hours, passing through the beautiful mountains of the Minahasa province past Lake Tondano.  Roadway conditions are highly variable and may adversely affect the duration of the trip, although multiple roadway improvement programs are currently underway.  We use only responsible and safe local drivers with late model, clean, air-conditioned vehicles for our transfers ensuring a comfortable journey.  For more information about transfers from Lembeh Resort click here.
