Overview
About Kadidiri
Kadidiri is a small island in the central Togean Islands, a short boat ride from Wakai on Batudaka. It has several beach resorts along one stretch of sand, and the reef begins close to the shore.
Boat trips to Lake Mariona (the jellyfish lake) and to the B-24 Liberator wreck are usually arranged from here. Kadidiri is also a common stop on the way to Una Una.
