North Gorontalo

North Gorontalo extends across 1,777 square kilometers along the northern peninsula of Sulawesi, comprising eleven administrative districts with Kwandang as its capital.

The territory separated from Gorontalo Regency in 2007 through Law Number 11, establishing an independent administrative region with increased local governance responsibilities.

The indigenous Gorontalo people maintain the pohala'a community system and practice traditional crafts such as Karawo embroidery and Langga martial arts.

Travelers reach Saronde Island through local boat services departing from Moluo port in Kwandang district, connecting visitors to white sand beaches.

Raja Island Conservation, established in 1936, protects four turtle species across three islands: Pepaya, Mas, and Raja, maintaining critical marine habitats.
