Buol Regency

Buol Regency is an administrative region in Central Sulawesi encompassing multiple districts with varied geography. The area includes coastal zones, mountainous inland areas, and islands that create diverse landscapes throughout.

The region became independent from Buol Tolitoli Regency in 1999 and established itself as a separate administrative unit. Buol town in Biau District was chosen as the administrative center for this newly formed area.

The local language belongs to the Gorontalic family and shapes how people communicate in their daily lives. Hearing it spoken in the streets and markets gives visitors insight into the local identity and sense of belonging.

Four harbors in Lamadong village offer maritime connections to major urban centers in the region. Air travel is available through Pogogul Airport, which has regular flights to nearby cities.

Several largely unexplored islands dot the coastline, including Busak Island and Raja Island, which feature natural white sand beaches. These islands remain relatively unknown to most visitors and offer untouched natural surroundings.
