Gangga name means "fear", because originally these islands are uninhabited, until Italian citizens interested in developing tourism on the island of the Ganges River and now in this island has stood Gangga's Island Resort & Spa, which provides complete facilities for guests.
According to another legend, Gangga was named after a local prince who was the first to send people to live on the island. This island is the first of an archipelago of small islands, many of which are still unexplored, connecting Indonesia with the Philippines. The strait that separates Gangga from the mainland is the one that unites the Pacific Ocean with the Indian Ocean and that is why this place is considered one of the world's best environments for encountering diverse underwater life. The closest city is Manado, capital of the North Sulawesi (former Celebes) which is one hour by car and 30 minutes by boat from Gangga.
