Nearly all flights landing in Manado arrive in the early morning hours.

Direct flights usually touch down between 5 AM to 6 AM.



On some days, with favorable flight conditions, you may even land as early as 4 AM — not sure why the flight always makes such great time!

Indonesia’s domestic carriers follow the same schedule: direct flights from Bali to Manado arrive at 4 AM, while routes from Jakarta land around 6 AM.

Manado’s airport is surprisingly bustling in the wee hours of the morning.

First-time visitors often ask: Can you arrange pick-up for these super early flights?

The answer is absolutely Yes.

The sun rises in Indonesia around 5 AM.

By the time you clear immigration, collect your luggage and meet our driver, daylight is already in full bloom.

Even with a 4 AM landing, once you finish all arrival procedures and transfer to the harbor by car, you’ll just miss the sunrise.

A short boat ride later to Bunaken Island, and you’ll arrive just in time for breakfast!

Please note that reaching the island does not mean immediate room check-in.

The standard check-in time is 2:00 PM, with check-out by 12:00 PM the next day.

Our resort offers flexible check-in policies.

If your assigned room is vacant from the previous night, you can check in and settle in right away after arriving.

If the room is still occupied by overnight guests, we will need to wait for their scheduled check-out, followed by thorough housekeeping before you can move in.

We value every guest’s stay experience equally.

During the waiting period, you can relax on our seaside beach loungers or rest in our dedicated lounge area to recharge after a tiring red-eye flight.

Late-night travel can be exhausting, and we want you to rest comfortably before your island adventure begins.
