Tarsius Monkeys are the world's smallest  measuring only five inches in length, and are nocturnal in behavior. So it's a good idea to let a guide help you find these diminutive creatures inside the hollows of trees where they hide and hang when they aren't jumping around your heads, flitting from tree to tree. Tangkoko is not easy to reach, but has a good sampling of biological diversity for which the entire Sulawese area is rightfully famous.

Boats are everywhere along the beaches in Bali despite local apprehensions about the sea and it's demons. Fishing is one reason, since  the ocean's bounty is popular for meals both locally and with tourists.  Big income from taking visitors snorkeling, diving and sightseeing also convinces many to challenge traditional sea fearing attitudes.

Visitors to Bali spend much of their time at beach sports, with great diving, snorkeling, swimming, surfing, boating and just hanging at the beach. The funny thing about this is that locals steeped in animist-hindu tradition tend to avoid the sea for fear of water demons. This beached dive boat may not appear currently active, but might be tomorrow. Just roll it on the logs into the surf and you're ready to do a Bali Dive.
