Wir (Ehepaar 59 & 57 mit 35 bzw. 22 Jahren Taucherfahrung) haben die Passport to Paradise (PtP) Tour im Zeitraum 27. September bis 12. Oktober 2024 (endlich!) gemacht. Dieser Bericht geht in Umfang und Tiefe vielleicht etwas über das „normale“ Maß hinaus, aber die Erfahrungen und Erlebnisse auf dieser Tour haben uns sehr beeindruckt und verdienen daher eine eingehendere Beschreibung. Die PtP Tour beinhaltet drei Tauchresorts (Murex Manado, Murex Bangka und Lembeh Resort, siehe auch unsere weiteren Berichte zu den jeweils anderen Resorts). Anreise: Frankfurt-Singapur mit Singapore Airlines: guter Bordservice und die Flugrichtung „in die Nacht“ hinein hat die gut 12 Stunden recht schnell vergehen lassen; wer nicht sonderlich groß ist, kann mit der Economy-Class zurechtkommen, größere/schwerere Menschen sollten vielleicht über Premium Economy nachdenken. Weiterflug mit Scoot nach Manado (knapp 4 Std.), ebenfalls mit Bordservice und absolut okay. Die Begrüßung am Flughafen durch das Murex Manado Team war überaus herzlich und man hat sofort das gute Gefühl, hier ist man richtig. Man wurde vom ersten Moment an mit Vornamen angesprochen, mit einer Freundlichkeit und Offenheit aufgenommen, wie man es sich nicht besser erträumen kann. Jeder bekam noch am Flughafen eine Alu-Wasserflasche (mit Name tag, natürlich gefüllt und gekühlt), die man über die gesamten 14 Tage nutzen und anschließend auch behalten durfte. Und so perfekt organisiert hat sich das dann auch fortgesetzt. Der Transfer vom Flughafen ins Resort (ca. 50 Min.) führte sehr schnell vom Fahrzeug direkt ins gebuchte Zimmer, auf dem kurzen Weg dorthin bekam jedes Paar/jede Gruppe individuell noch eine kurze Führung durch das Resort. Bei einem (sehr guten!) Begrüßungscocktail gab es später dann eine angenehm kurze und prägnante Einweisung in die Örtlichkeiten und in den Ablauf der kommenden – in unserem Fall vier – Tage des Tauchprogramms in Manado, mit Schwerpunkt Bunaken „Wall Diving“. Die Bezeichnung trifft es sehr gut, auch wenn man schon den einen oder anderen „Drop off“ anderer Tauchdestinationen gesehen haben sollte. Bunaken ist schlicht fantastisch, was Flora und Fauna betrifft - wunderschöne Weich- und Hartkorallen gepaart mit viel, viel Fisch, „Critters“ im Riff und natürlich den unzähligen Turtles (meist Green, seltener Hawksbill), für die Bunaken bekannt ist (max. Turtle count bei einem TG: 43). Dive Trips am Morgen sind als 2-Tank dives in Bunaken geplant (ca. 30 Minuten Fahrtzeit). Insgesamt waren bei uns 6 Taucher an Bord und wir hatten einen Guide für uns beide. Für jeden Taucher liegt ein Badetuch bereit und zu den Oberflächenpausen gibt`s frische Früchte, Kekse, Wasser, Tee, Kaffee. Zum Mittagessen ist man wieder im Resort und kann danach nochmal einen Boots-TG in der Manado Bay machen oder einen Hausriff-TG (beides lohnenswert). Das Manado Restaurant Team hat einem jeden Wunsch von den Lippen abgelesen. Das Personal ist sehr gut geschult und auf die Bedürfnisse von tauchenden

Great for Diving but Rough Around the Edges Great place for diving Bunaken if that is your reason for traveling to Manado. Not really a resort in my opinion. The pool was under construction when we were there and that was frustrating. Also had a shoe go missing due to dogs at night so don’t leave them outside.

12 avid snorkelers/freedivers just returned from the Passport to Paradise trip offered by Murex Manado/Bangka and Lembeh Resort. From start to finish Murex Manado staff were so welcoming, accomodating, flexible and open to allowing us alot of water time & being involved with snorkel site selection. How kind to make a banner for us! Julia was receptive to talking to me, upon arrival, about how best they could meet our snorkeling needs. The cottages, food ( thank you Chef Joe!), service and staff/guides were fantastic. We really enjoyed the continuity of having the same 3 guides, Tian, Carter and Alvian (for 12 of us) follow us through all 3 resorts and the ease of transfer via boat with 2 snorkels enroute. This was so efficient and made it alot of fun. There was so much site diversity, too, and the opportunity for land tours, spa services, bars offered more variety. And it was so affordable! The bed was a bit too firm for my preference but the a/c was nice and cool and the rooms were spotless. When we struggled with walking on the large stones on the beach to enter the house reef during low tide, they placed a platform down for us and raked the stony beach, how thoughtful! We will be back! Terima Kasih!

We arrived in Manado airport during a torrential rain storm but the Murex shuttle driver was there when we came out of the arrivals area. As we boarded the van he handed us refreshing cold towels and metal water bottle to use during our stay. Upon arrival at the resort we were met by Brian, the hotel manager, and provided with a detailed overview of the resort, meals and diving schedules. In the meantime our bags were taken to our rooms. One of the staff walked us to our small bungalow which had a high ceiling, large bathroom/closet area (enclosed, but without air conditioning) a desk and lounge chair. We also had a small verandah that allowed for four people to meet over drinks after a day of diving. The meals were all awesome with a variety of local and international flavours. Some were served in the dining area, while others (lunches) were served on the outdoor patio and barbecue area. Ample opportunities to refill water bottles with filtered water throughout our stay. The staff were all excellent and seemed to be well trained and, more importantly, happy to be working in the hospitality industry. Diving was awesome - but that's for another review. Suffice to say, we had some amazing dives and their attention to details and safety were second to none. A great stay all around!

Extremely friendly staff, excellent food, super competent dive guides and management of the dive center, super service, very well maintained rental equipment and help even with privately owned one, when problems, bungalow clean and comfortable, but ours was close to street, so little noisy at night to my taste, interesting, variable dive sites, not one visited twice in 12 dives, and not having seen all of them yet, would go there again immediately, Thank you, everyone, and especially Reykmon, our guide!

Obiettivo della vacanza era fare immersioni: da questo punto di vista, meraviglioso. Dive master/guida bravissimo. Attento e preciso. Per quanto riguarda, invece, la struttura si vede che è datata (abbiamo avuto qualche intoppo tecnico ma prontamente risolto) ; si mangia discretamente, a buffet. Come location, è immersa nel verde (molto bello) ma non c'è spiaggia ed è praticamente su un piccolo porto. Sono stati molto flessibili nel rimodulare il pacchetto di 10 immersioni a testa che avevamo (io ne ho fatte di più dei miei figli).

We did a custom Passport to Paradise option with 3 nights at Murex Manado, 3 nights at Murex Bangka, and 6 nights at Lembeh Resort. Custom because we booked Lembeh Resort first and then added Murex. Manado with the dives at Bunaken was a great start. The combination of the three resorts works well because all three offer different types of diving experiences. The pickup at the airport went well, the food was amazing, our cottage was very nice, the dive operation was well organised and the massages were great, too. The house reef is not amazing, but it is worth exploring at least once. The Sunday BBQ was the best food of our whole trip. The resort is not noisy, but you can hear the city buzz, and Bangka is a lot more quiet. The staff looked after us very well, and our custom transfer between Bangka and Lembeh was smooth. Which speaks for both Murex and Lembeh resort. All three resorts had options for different power plugs.

Nous avons passé une semaine à Murex Manado : des plongées extraordinaires au cœur de la réserve de Bunaken, un resort de grande qualité : une chambre très confortable, un large choix au restaurant, et une équipe attentive à nos envies. Nous reviendrons !

I discovered Murex at the Asia Dive Expo in Singapore, and only found out after I booked that a lot of my friends have been to Murex. They said it’s the best resort in North Sulawesi, and I couldn’t agree more. What I love about the resort is its cleanliness, and hospitality. The rooms are spacious, and well thought about for divers who have plenty of gadgets (photographers). Aside from that, their staff are so attentive to the guests needs. In fact, I was surprised they’ve already remembered my name on the first day. It gives a personal touch. Aside from my love for Indonesian food, which the kitchen cooks perfectly, the chef and the waiting staff paid attention to my dietary restrictions and even makes sure I get my breakfast takeaway in the dive boat. I don’t think I need to comment on the quality of diving in Bunaken, bec it’s simply one of the best in Indonesia… but I do have to comment on how systematic the dive team operates. All the guides are very familiar with the fish species. As an avid diver, there were times I thought it’s no longer necessary to identify the common fishes, but they’re only doing their job (and doing it very well). Of course some other (new) divers may appreciate the extra service. I only have good words on the dive team’s professionalism and skill/training underwater. Bonus point that the boats are big and comfortable. Overall, I would recommend (any) Murex resort if you come to North Sulawesi. The experience is fantastic, I know I will be coming back!
