MUREX -- "Manado Underwater Exploration"
There's no dive centre that knows the Bunaken National Marine Park, Bangka Island area, Lembeh Strait or the Sangihe Island group better than Murex. We were one of the first, and we believe we're still the best.
There's no dive centre that knows the Bunaken National Marine Park, Bangka Island area, Lembeh Strait or the Sangihe Island group better than Murex. We were one of the first, and we believe we're still the best.
Murex was founded in 1987 by Dr. Han Batuna, who was a keen recreational diver and one of the first conservationists in the area, and Mrs. Batuna.
We are a small and friendly family-run resort in Manado, North Sulawesi that has been operating since 1987. Because we're situated in one of the world's most spectacular diving areas, we can offer our guests a unique and unforgettable diving experience. Murex has 19 rooms all set within lush tropical gardens. We offer delicious traditional cuisine served buffet style and will cater to specific dietary needs.
Murex's liveaboard boats provide comfortable accommodations for adventurous diving excursions to many remote and exotic off the map locations. Our fixed departure live aboard dive cruises with expert crew, guides and chef are offered each week, and all our boats are available for group charters. Our most special feature is Bangka Resort, our secluded diving getaway, with private white sand beaches and reefs for enchanted diving that's yours alone.
Murex also offers myriad non-diving activities. Our guests enjoy spectacular highland tours, horseback riding, guided treks in Tangkoko National Wildlife Preserve, volcano trekking, trips to traditional marketplaces and white water rafting. A very popular non-activity is doing nothing but lazing on our private secluded beaches at Murex, Bangka and Pulisan. Children are welcome at Murex and always make fast-friends and have a fun-filled time with our staff's children.
So, whether you're looking for serious diving or just wanting to see the exotic sights of North Sulawesi, Murex will make it even better than you dreamed.
Fabulous day diving and snorkeling in renowned Bunaken Marine National Park, trips to pristine islands at the tip of North Sulawesi, and for the curious diver the Lembeh Strait where the smallest and strangest critters live and, it's rumored, life on earth actually began.
