VISIT
BULUKUMBA REGENCY, SELAYR ISLAND and BENTENG
Before
visiting Benteng from South Sulawesi’s mainland, visitors can stop
and rest in Bulukumba regency. In the regency dubbed “Butta Panrita
Lopi” or boat craftsmen’s settlement, tourists can observe the
process of phinisi or traditional wooden boat building that is unique
to South Sulawesi.
-
is an unspoiled 80 km long slice of paradise in the Coral Triangle,
is teaming with rainforest and laced with white sandy beaches
– Housed
in a museum in Benteng, the island's main town, is a 2,000-year-old
Vietnamese Dong Son drum. To view the drum you need a special key,
which your tour guide can organize. The drum is actually a gong; when
it's struck, it is said the sound can be heard for miles with perfect
pitch and tone. It is the pride of Selayar.
– If
you want a canopy of coconut palms, a pristine white sandy beach and
a hammock to watch the sunset from, then head just 9 kilometers out
of Benteng to a small dive resort run by Bernhard, a most gracious
host and manager of Selayar Island Resort.
The
resort is on Baloyia Beach and it's the only place you can get pizza
and French fries, but don't let that fool you. Bernhard's culinary
talents extend to a delightful array of Indonesian dishes also.

DIVING and SNORKELING
The eastern coast is a sport diving area with scenic underwater panoramas featuring diverse coral and marine biota similar to that of Taka Bonerate. With a similar topography, the area is a favorite.
Baloyya Beach is known for its sloping white sand and clear blue water, adorned with varied coral reef underneath. Near the beach are two natural caves and several islets. Situated south of the western coast of Selayar, Baloyya is only about 9 kilometers from Benteng. Jammeng, a tourist village not far from Benteng, is also a convenient place for relaxing. Aside from the undersea beauty, the area boasts a cascading waterfall.
A sightseeing tour of Benteng, with coconut trees lining its coastal fringe, is particularly enjoyable. The city is a producer of snacks made of melinjo and kenari nuts and also grows citrus fruits. The process of making the snacks by hand is fascinating to observe.
