Domestic Flights

From Jakarta & Bali and other cities it is possible to take internal flights to Manado, and these are very frequent. We can book internal flights for you with Lion Air, Garuda and Batavia, they both issue eTckets and this means that we can book the flights for you and send you the tickets via email.

It works out cheaper this way as we can get internal prices, if you book from outside Indonesia it will be more expensive.

How does it work

You need to send us:

• the dates that you are interested in

• where you will be departing from (eg Bali)

• your full names for the tickets

We will send you a quote for different flight options with availability on your dates.

We need to receive your money before we buy the tickets (see below for options of paying by Paypal or Bank Transfer). Once we have received the money, we will pay for the tickets and then email them to you.

NOTE: if you are arriving on an international flight (eg arriving into Jakarta with Singapore Airlines), please also send your date and time of arrival so that we can make sure we look at the correct flight to Manado.

Why only Lion Air, Garuda or Batavia? These are the only airlines that issue eTickets.

Do you make a charge for this? Yes, we only add on 15% admin charge to the price of the ticket. This will be detailed clearly in the quote that we send you.

Is there a time limit? Yes, after we send you the quote you will have 2 days to send the money. The reason is that the airlines will only keep the reservation for 2 days. If the money arrives after 2 days, we will have to re-book and the price may be a bit different, there is nothing we can do about this. This is why we ask for payment via Paypal - its a fast way to pay.

Payment via Paypal

To pay via Paypal, all you need to do is click on the link below, and you will be taken to the online Two Fish Payment screen. This is actually our deposit payment system, you just need to change QTY to get to the agreed TOTAL AMOUNT, we can sort out any balances when you are here.

When you make your payment, we will automatically be sent an email. Once we receive this we will buy the tickets, and email you the etickets.

Payment by Bank Transfer

If you prefer, you can transfer money to our bank account in Indonesia. Please email us for our bank details.

When you make the transfer you will need to make a scan/photo of the transfer slip and email to us on info(at)twofishdivers.com so that we can buy the tickets. If you do not email the transfer slip to us, the transfer could take 4-5 working days to reach us and this will be after the time-limit.

Night Flights

Its possible to get some cheaper night flights to Manado that are scheduled to arrive at about 10-11pm, for example with Lion Air. If you take one of these flights then we cannot promise that we can transfer you to the resort that night. There are two reasons for this:

• in our experience these flights are always delayed until about 1-2am. There is never any information from the airport/airline, we just have to sit and wait for the plane to eventually arrive, and its just too difficult to expect boats and resort staff to wait for the transfer/check-in as well.

• its dangerous to drive the boat at night, especially for the 45-60min transfer to Bunaken, as there are many logs in the water that can be hidden in the dark.

With these Night Flights, we will try and transfer you that night, but it is likey that you have to stay a night in Manado and then transfer to the resort early the next morning. If this is the case, the person meeting you at the airport will have all the details of the hotel and the transfers.
