Discover natural wonders from hidden waterfalls to exotic island clusters around Kendari City.
Nambo Beach is a prime coastal tourist destination for local Kendari residents, offering a white sandy coastline that is quite sloping and stretches wide. The atmosphere on this beach is very shady thanks to the rows of coconut trees and coastal trees that grow abundantly along the beach area, providing natural shade for visitors.The characteristics of the waves at Nambo Beach are relatively calm so it is very safe for children to play in the water or just make sand castles. On weekends, this beach becomes a lively recreation center with many local culinary vendors serving fresh seafood.
Kendari Botanical Gardens is a 96 hectare nature conservation area which is the lungs of the city and a favorite ecotourism destination. Surrounded by expanses of green trees and clear rivers, this place offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city with very cool and refreshing air.Apart from being a recreation area, this area also functions as a botanical research and education center which holds thousands of collections of endemic plants to Sulawesi. Visitors can enjoy various facilities such as camping areas, trekking paths that cut through protected forests, and beautifully arranged thematic parks.
The Al-Alam Mosque is an icon of pride for the people of Southeast Sulawesi which stands majestically in the middle of the waters of Kendari Bay.
