What Miguel's Offers

Miguel's Diving Gorontalo is currently building dive shop facilites on the river at our dock. We are setting up an office at our newly opened Gorontalo Oasis Hotel at Jl. Agus Salim No 29. Nestled in the heart of Gorontalo City, the Oasis is a world away. At its center is a grove of giant sago palms surrounding a pool of natural spring water full of fish. Light breezes from the mountains rustle the bamboo. Fragrant flowers perfume the night air. Rooms come with ceramic tile floors, wonderful underwater photo print, two twin beds or a queen size bed, hot water, a/c, international cable TV, mini-bar and breakfast. The fastest Internet connection in Gorontalo is available at various locations throughout the hotel grounds.

We also can offer packages with other local hotels. Quality Hotel Gorontalo has not released room prices for bookings after 20 December, so it is temporarily unavailable.

Miguel's Diving offers:

• Scuba diving for certified divers
• Two or three dives per day
• Limited supply of new dive equipment for rental, including shorty wet suits
• Two compressors for clean air
• Oxygen and first aid on board
• Transport from your hotel to our dock (less than 5 minutes)
