What makes it private
Every detail, arranged for you.
Your private chef
Grilled lobster, cakalang fufu, woku and Minahasan spices — or anything you wish — served at a candle-lit table on the ridge above Lake Tondano.
Luxury safari suites
King-size beds, linen, rugs and a private deck with a fire pit. Mount Klabat at sunrise from your pillow. Your own butler at camp.
Your gold, as jewellery
Our goldsmith turns your own find into a pendant or ring with a certified Minahasa stone — delivered in a velvet box with its ESMI XRF passport.
Own film crew included
A videographer and photographer travel with you. Your expedition film in 4K and 150+ edited photos, delivered within a week.
Historian & geologist
Hear the story of the Opo, the VOC and the kings of Manado from a historian, and read the rocks with an ESMI geologist — just for you.
