Mahawu Trekking

Mountain Mahawu, which is 1.130 meters high above sea level is a no longer an active volcano and has become one of many tourist attraction in North Sulawasi.

This has not been an active volcano since the 16th century. Mahawu Mountain is located in Tomohon city, approximately 1 hour drive from Manado city. The word Mahawu was taken from the old Minahasan language which means dusted. The most attractive part of this mountain is the crater. This crater looks so amazing in the rainy season when almost the entire crater is filled with water and smoke is coming out from it.
The best time for you to do the trekking of this mountain is very early in the morning. It would be better for you to reach the top of the mountain at 6 a.m. to see the sunrise. You can also see Manado city's view, Tondano lake and Bitung city.

As soon as you reach the top, you can spend approximately 2 hours to survey the crater and enjoy the panoramic views.
