Berbagai terumbu karang dan biota laut hidup dan berdesakan di taman laut bunaken. Bagi anda yang gemar dengan wisata bawah laut, bunaken bisa menjadi salah satu tempat pilihan untuk anda.

Letak Geografi Taman Laut Bunaken Taman laut bunaken terletak di Kelurahan Bunaken Kecamatan Bunaken Kota Manado, Sulawesi Utara.

Terdapat 5 pulau yang termasuk dalam taman nasional ini yaitu Pulau Naen, Pulau Bunaken, Pulau Manado Tua, Pulau Siladen, dan Pulau Mantehage beserta anak pulau yang di sekelilingnya. Dan jumlah penduduk yang ada di kelima pulau tersebut sekitar 21.000 orang.

Bunaken memiliki beragam kehidupan bawah laut, hal ini dikarenakan taman laut nasional bunaken berada di segitiga emas terumbu karang dunia yang tersebar dari Indonesia, Malaysia, Filipina, Papua Nugini, Timor Leste dan kepulauan Solomon

Terdapat puluhan jenis terumbu karang dan ribuan spesies ikan yang hidup di taman laut seluas 75.265 hektare.

Tidak ada masa off seasons untuk mengunjungi tamana laut bunaken artinya anda bisa kapan saja mengunjungi dan menyelam di Bunaken. Akan tetapi lebih dianjurkan anda menyelam di taman nasional bunaken pada bulan Mei s/d Agustus karena pada saat itu anda akan disambut dengan air laut yang jernih dan begitu hangat dengan temperatur udara 26-31 derajat celcius.

Spot Penyelaman di Taman Laut Bunaken Keindahan taman laut bunaken dapat dilihat pada lokasi yang disebut lekuan 1, 2, 3, fukui, mandolin, tanjung parigi, ron’s point, sachiko point, pangalisang, muka kampung dan bunaken timur.

Bunaken menjadi tersohor karena taman lautnya. Ditemukan tahun 1975. Alamnya yang tenang dan damai memberi nuansa lain dari siklus hidup rutin di tengah kota yang bising. Seakan-akan ada semacam tarikan yang tak terucapkan bagi mereka yang pernah menyaksikan bahwa hidup kembali ke alam demikian indahnya.

Penduduk pertama kali yang mendiami pulau Bunaken berasal dari migrasi kerajaan Bowontehu di Manado Tua yang didirikan tahun 1400, yang wilayahnya meliputi pesisir utara semenanjung Minahasa, pulau Bunaken, Siladen, Mantehage, Naen, Talise, Gangga dan pulau Bangka.

Sekitar tahun 1850, penduduk di Tanjung Parigi berpindah ke arah tenggara, di tepi pantai yang berhadapan dengan kota Manado, lalu mereka mendirikan negeri baru dengan nama "Wunakeng", yang disingkat dari kata "Kinawunakeng" yang artinya tempat tinggal.

Dalam perkembangan selanjutnya, kata "Wunakeng" diubah menjadi Bunaken, yang disingkat dari kata "Pamunakeng" yang artinya tempat mendarat. Maksudnya orang-orang dari kerajaaan Bowontehu di Manado Tua mendarat dengan perahu di pulau yang sekarang ini disebut Bunaken.

Taman Nasional Laut Bunaken pertama kali ditemukan oleh kelompok penyelam yang melakukan ekspedisi penyelaman di Bunaken pada tahun 1975. Saat melakukan penyelaman, mereka diperingatkan oleh nelayan setempat bahwa di lautan yang diselami tersebut terdapat roh-roh jahat. Namun, para penyelam yang datang dari kota Manado tersebut tidak gentar.

Menurut penduduk setempat, roh-roh nelayan yang hilang dan mati di ujung gugusan karang di lokasi yang diselami sangat berbahaya. Sekelompok nelayan yang melarang mengamati para penyelam dengan perasaan kagum bercampur rasa takut ketika para penyelam mengenakan masker dan peralatan selam lainnya, lalu mereka masuk ke dalam air laut yang bening menuju ke dasar yang gelap dan menghilang di tepi jurang menuju kedalaman laut yang misterius.

Para nelayan tradisional bersama masyarakat setempat memperhatikan gelembung-gelembung oksigen yang muncul dari kedalaman laut. Mereka berasumsi bahwa para penyelam tidak akan kembali dengan selamat. Beberapa saat kemudian rasa takut mereka berubah menjadi rasa kagum ketika melihat para penyelam muncul tanpa terluka, gembira dan tersenyum; lalu mereka berkerumun di dekat penyelam dan menanyai tentang hal-hal yang menakjubkan.

Para penyelam tidak melihat roh-roh sebagaimana yang diinformasikan nelayan, tetapi melihat makhluk laut yang mengagumkan, yang tidak pernah dilihat oleh para nelayan. Para penyelam menemukan ikan langka dan tumbuhan laut di dinding karang masih murni, sangat fantastis dengan hewan-hewan laut di dalam imajinasi mereka.

Menurut para ahli, kedalaman laut Bunaken sekitar 4.000 kaki yang dihuni lebih dari 2.000 spesies ikan dan terdapat sekitar 500 jenis gugusan karang yang tak pernah ditemukan sebelumnya, semuanya merupakan suatu jumlah yang lebih dari cukup bagi para penyelam menyaksikan keindahannya.

Ikan berwarna perak, biru, merah dan jenis ikan lainnya jumlahnya lebih dari cukup dan sangat menarik bagi yang biasa melihat ikan di akuarium. Siapa pun yang pernah atau ingin menyelam di Bunaken akan merasa betah menyaksikan ikan-ikan tersebut dari ukuran kecil sampai besar saling memberi makan di sepanjang tebing karang yang dramatis.

Setiap orang yang pernah ke Bunaken dan menyelam ke taman lautnya pasti akan berkata bahwa Taman Nasional Laut Bunaken merupakan "kerajaan bawah laut" yang fantastis, dipenuhi makhluk-makhluk laut yang mengherankan.

Keindahan alam bawah laut Bunaken dan sekitarnya melebihi keindahan dasar laut kepulauan Antilen Great Barrier Reef Australia dan...

Best season to visit bunaken is during early dry season, around may to july, the weather is calm, wave is quiet, and fish are shiny i guess. PROS: 1.Wonderful coral and cutest fish 2.Tasty pisang goreng 3.Clean and fresh water for clean up yourself after swimming/snorkling/diving 4.Snorkling / diving spot is very near to island 5.You can spot Sea Turtle, dolphin, and manta if you are lucky 6.Beach is clean, so children can enjoy building sand castle while enjoying pisang goreng CONS: 1.Pier need modernization. Lack of landing stairs, and almost cannot accomodate low sea water level. It can be very difficult for children or above average weight person or elder person to climb the pier stairs when water is low. 2.Snorkling equipment need more maintenance. they are expose. it will be more hygene if they were kept in glass rack/storage 3.Floor/pavement to access toilet need maintenance. 4.Also the flooor of the pier has cracks on its tile. Please renovate this wonderful place to make it last and more attractive CONCLUSION: Great vacation spots, for your children too. Will come here again, definitely...

If you are in Manado try to visit the Bunaken Island. It's only a 40 minutes ride with he public boats (not operating on Sundays). Fantastic corals (East side of the island, especially in front of Lorenzo and around Siladen Island) and tons of fish, turtles and co. in the water. We were quite surprised to find such a great spot so close to busy Manado. Unfortunately, I had to take one star off due to the rubbish that sometimes floats over from Manado :( Very sad. People try there best to clean the beaches but after a storm it's quite a bit of work. The village on Bunaken is lovely and so are its people. When you arrive you'll spot a church just a few meters behind the beach - we haven't seen one on a small island like this before. Really enjoyed the time there! We also spent a few nights on the other side of the island... (the "bay" in the very south) It was a bit of a mistake (so we felt) as the corals are not really great/ dying and you will end up paying A LOT for day trips.

Incredible underwater view! Bunaken has been famous for a long tia and I managed to dive here and Lembeh. Beautiful spot indeed. We flew from Jakarta, stayed in Manado and went to Bunaken by boat for some diving trips. The visibility is clear, the temperature is perfect and a lot to see. Beautiful walls and abundant underwater flora and fauna, like giant sea turtle, napoleon fish, mantaray, and more. Colorful. We also went to a shipwreck location around 40m under the sea, Molas Shiprwreck. Try Lekuian 1, Lekuan 2, Fukui point and Sachiko point for some diving spots. I tried snorkeling as well here and it was nice. The boat has glass side at the bottom so those who don't do snorkeling or diving can still enjoy the beautiful underwater world. You can rent the snorkeling equipment from the boat owner or hire underwater 'photographer' and have your photo taken while snorkeling.
