What you can expect

Discover the highlights of Makassar on a full-day tour. Visit the iconic Fort Rotterdam, explore the Makassar morning market, and take a boat trip to Lakkang village. Enjoy a traditional lunch and visit the archaeological park of Leang Leang.

Your guide and driver will pick you up at the airport, hotel, or other place in the city of Makassar. After a brief introduction, go straight to Fort Rotterdam as the first attraction of your trip. Located on the west coast, this fort is an iconic landmark of the city that has stood throughout Makassar's long history. Fort Rotterdam was built in 1545 made of stone and fired clay with many features inspired by the Portuguese style.

Head to the Makassar morning market to witness the daily life of local people through various activities such as selling and buying goods made by villagers. The bustling atmosphere will definitely captivate you. After that, the driver takes you to Kerakera, the river port to board the Pincara while admiring the mangrove ecosystem on the riverbank.

The boat trip ends when you arrive at Lakkang village. Lakkang Village is a delta in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Makassar city with hundreds of year-old trees, beautiful ponds, green rice fields, and fellow fishermen. After touring the village, enjoy a traditional local lunch with fresh vegetables and fruit.

Leave Lakkang to visit the archaeological park Leang Leang. This cave was once a gathering place for stone age people after hunting for big meals. The evidence is clear, numerous hand prints are displayed in red and white on the roof of the cave, along with a red painting of a wild boar standing in front of its prey large enough to feed everyone. Climb the 30-meter high stairs, feel the surreal atmosphere, and see through the glass the life of prehistoric people. The driver takes you back to the hotel and the tour is over.
