What travellers say
Booking the Hong Kong MTR ticket through Pelago was super easy and efficient. The QR code worked instantly at the gates, saving time and avoiding queues. Great value and super convenient for tourists exploring the city. Highly recommended!
This was a great offer to experience cable cars from Mnt Fraser down to Sentosa Island and back. The purchase and use of the tickets was a seamless experience. You have a (another) happy customer.
Every penny spent on tickets is worth it. The Bali Safari is an experience nobody should miss when they are in Bali. Booking through Pelago was easy and the advantage of booking earlier was slipping the queue. The zoo was very clean and everything was very well maintained. We had such a nice experience there.

Frequently asked questions
About Manado
Manado is a city located on the northern tip of the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. It is known for its vibrant underwater world, with world-class diving and snorkeling opportunities. The currency used in Manado is the Indonesian Rupiah. The city is also famous for its culinary scene, especially its spicy seafood dishes. Manado is a melting pot of cultures, with influences from Dutch, Portuguese, and Chinese settlers evident in its architecture and cuisine.
When to visit
The best time to visit Manado is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During this time, the weather is sunny and pleasant, perfect for exploring the city and its surrounding natural attractions. The wet season, from November to April, brings heavy rainfall and the possibility of typhoons, making outdoor activities more challenging. However, this time of year is ideal for diving, as the underwater visibility is at its best.
Getting around
Getting around Manado is relatively easy, with options such as taxis, ojeks (motorcycle taxis), and angkot (shared minivans) available for transportation. Renting a car or scooter is also a popular choice for visitors who want more flexibility in exploring the city and its outskirts. Traffic can be congested during peak hours, so it's advisable to plan your journeys accordingly.
Traveller tips
When visiting Manado, be sure to try the local specialty dish, Bubur Manado, a savory rice porridge topped with various condiments. Don't forget to pack sunscreen and insect repellent, as the tropical climate can be harsh on the skin. Respect the local customs and traditions, such as removing your shoes before entering someone's home. Learn a few basic Indonesian phrases to communicate with the locals, as English may not be widely spoken. Lastly, be prepared for spicy food, as Manado cuisine is known for its use of fiery chili peppers.
