Barracuda Point
Barracuda Point is on the west side of Mantehage, the large, flat island north of Bunaken, more than an hour by boat from Bunaken or Siladen. It is one of the best places in the park for schooling barracuda, which can form a wall when divers move away from the reef into the blue, along with midnight snappers, jacks and tuna; grey reef sharks and even hammerheads are occasionally reported.
