Welcome to this Special video as I show the entire trip through the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.

I will be showing new footage including the adventure that @KristianHansen and I had in the incredible area of Maros while hunting for the oldest known cave art in the world. Leang Tedongnge.

I then ride up alone to the highlands of Toraja and witness the strange ritual of Ma-nene where the people exhume the corpses of the dead relatives and throw expensive and extravagant funerals known as "Rambu Solo".

After this I ride my bike into the next highland area where there are mysterious stone megalithic statues with faces, very much like Easter Island but seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Besoa valley and Bada valley near Poso and Tentena.

Before riding once again to Ampana where I take a ferry to the Togean islands to see a jellyfish lake, a mysterious aeroplane wreckage underwater from WWII and the best diving in Una Una island which is also an active volcano which can be hiked to.

I then take another overnight ferry to Gorontalo, and here I see the strange and shy animal - the Babirusa which is endemic to the island of Sulawesi but is easily found in the wonderful Nantu Forest in Gorontalo.

Along the way I stop by to see Salvadore Dali sponge in Olele that can only be found on this coastline in Sulawesi, and I meet the biggest fish in the Ocean, The Whaleshark in Gorontalo.

I then ride my CB500x solo into the final province, North Sulawesi and straight up into the Minahasa highlands and climb the volcanos of Gunung Ampang, Gunung Soputan, Gunung Empung and Lokon, along with visiting Tempusu, the Lake Tondano, tomohon and the waterfalls.

Tangkoko national park is the next destination where I meet even more of Sulawesi's endemic wildlife such as the Black crested macaque and the tarsier along with the impressive hornbill.

Then it's time to go diving in the Lembeh strait to see the mimic octopus, wonderpus and blue ring octopus along with many more strange animals.

The the final place on my trip is the incredible Bunaken island where the diving is superb and full of life, lots of turtles, fish and macro life living in the coral reef.

Thank you and please enjoy this special episode.
