Thanks for the note, Bryan. I will inform the guys from Sulawesi Experience about your problem with them.

Your advice to book with Sulawesi Experience may be a good one but not in my experience. I tried to contact them before we left for Sulawesi, but I never got a reply. Then in Makassar I tried to find them via the address on their website. Again, no luck. At this point I had given up on Labengki and the giant clams. However, finally, by luck I ran into a diver at Sombu Jetty on Wangiwangi who was able to give me Pak Habib’s contact information, but by the time we got to Kendari we didn’t have time for the excursion to Labengki. We only went to Toli Toli and snorkeled one morning with Pak Habib and Imam.

If I were planning my Sulawesi trip again, one of the things that I’d do differently would be to go to Labengki. Great that you visited and wrote about it. Pak Habib and his volunteers certainly need all the support that they can get.

I discovered the Toli Toli giant clam marine sanctuary a few years back, donated a little to it and followed Habib’s fb posts since then.

You will definitely enjoy the trip. How do you know about Habib?

I have been thinking about visiting Indra (Habib) and the Giant Clam Conservation project for a few years now. You have provided just the information I need to make more concrete plans.
