Talaud Islands, Archipelago and administrative regency in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

The Talaud Islands are an archipelago in North Sulawesi consisting of several islands with Karakelong as the largest. The area includes numerous smaller islands and has ports and an airport serving the region.

The region has been inhabited since ancient times and was part of early trade networks. These connections shaped the development of the islands over many centuries.

The Talaud people speak their own language and follow customs distinct from neighboring communities. Visitors can observe traditional fishing methods and local crafts practiced in the villages.

The airport and port connect the islands to larger cities for arrival and supplies. Visitors should expect basic infrastructure and plan ahead for their journey.

Miangas, one of the northernmost islands, marks one of Indonesia's outermost points. This remote island sits near the maritime border with the Philippines.
