Spice. War. Reef. The full Halmahera triangle.
Our most comprehensive North Maluku trip. Three Halmahera regions, one Morotai detour, two diving days. Maximum eight guests.
An ethnographic walking tour with diving days woven in.
Most “Halmahera tour” packages are day trips from Ternate that visit one or two heritage sites and call it a week. They miss the island entirely.
Our 7-day route covers the three distinct cultural regions — Tobelo (north), Galela (interior), Weda Bay (south) — plus a 2-day Morotai extension and 2 diving days at Sidangoli. You’ll move every 1-2 days; the trip is active.
