GOOD TO KNOW
In general Sulawesi is still very unspoilt and usually people are trustworthy. Also the prices are usually the same for locals and for tourists and there is little need to haggle. But with increasing tourism there are already unofficial touts/tourist guides in the harbours who might give you wrong information about the boats and accommodations. Do not pay accommodations or dives directly to them.
​
If you want to prebook a car or a speed boat, you can do that with some of the accommodations in Ampana (if you also spend a night with them) or a local agent mr Adnan, who speaks good English and resides in Ampana. Please contact him via WhatsApp at +62 852 4210 8719.
