Where should you go on the island of Sulawesi in december when it comes to the weather?
Remember:
The climate on the island of Sulawesi in december ranges from good to bad depending on the region and city.
December is not the best month to go to in Sulawesi. The weather in Sengkang, Lembeh, Makassar, Bitung, Bunaken Island, Selayar, Parepare, Palopo, Manado, Tondano, Tomohon, Mamuju, Bulukumba and Sangihe Islands is quite correct. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain often. Nonetheless, if you don't plan a deckchair & cocktails by the pool holiday in Sulawesi but rather cultural visits, this climate may suit. In addition, there are surely fewer tourists during this period.
It's even worse in Polewali, Luwuk, Gorontalo, Ampana, Wakatobi Regency, Togian Islands, Palu, Kendari, Buton, Mamasa and Enrekang and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. We really do not recommend you to travel to these areas this month.
