In 2018, I got the chance to visit a place I’d never been before: Sulawesi, one of the largest and most underrated islands in Indonesia. These Sulawesi pictures are the result.
This huge tropical island is one of the most amazing places I’ve been in my travels. The karst mountains, exotic wildlife, active volcanoes, and ancient artifacts were out of this world.
It was one of the highlights of my year, even though I barely scratched the surface of what this island has to offer. I’ve now been back to Sulawesi many times, as well as some of the surrounding islands, like Labengki, Selayar, and Siau Island.
Hopefully these Sulawesi pictures inspire your travels too!

Tarsier sighting! Tangkoko Nature Reserve is one of the best places in the world to see endangered Tarsiers.
You’ll need a zoom lens to get tarsier pictures like this, because they’re pretty elusive.
