Jellyfish Lake (Togian)
Also known as: Kakian Lake
Best time to dive
April to November; July to August
Certification & difficulty
Open Water
Snorkelling
Snorkel-friendly - Yes - this is the primary and essentially only activity at the site; visitors swim safely among the stingless jellyfish population unique to this lake
Safety notes
No specific hazards documented for this lake in sources found; general marine-lake practice elsewhere in Indonesia (e.g. Kakaban) advises against sunscreen/lotion in the water and against scuba due to stratified water layers, though this was not independently confirmed for this specific lake
Permits & fees
No separate government permit found; access is via a paid resort/operator trip - Kadidiri Paradise Resort quotes roughly Rp 900,000-1,200,000 shared among participants for a full-day snorkel excursion including boat fuel, fresh water and lunch, of which the lake is one stop
Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
