Ternate Island Day Tour, Ternate, North Maluku Indonesia, The Maluku Islands

  • Info
  • Holidays
  • Map

Dominated by the towering Gamalama volcano, the small island of Ternate is filled with history, natural beauty and friendly locals, and in a day tour, there is much to experience. Known as one of the ‘spice islands’, a visit to Ternate wouldn’t be complete without admiring the 350 year old mother of clove trees, ‘Cengkeh Afo’ before visiting clove and cinnamon plantations with shops run by students from the area. You’ll then wander through several forts dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, once used to control the spice trade on the island. A visit to Sultan’s Palace will then provide an insight into the history of Ternate and the many Sultans that once ruled the land and still do. Lastly, the peculiar yet beautiful Tolire Lake set at the foot of Mount Gamalama is a fascinating stop, comprising a whole ecosystem of its own.

You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively with you.

Customer Feedback
The stand out experiences all involved some locals: the walk in the Bali rice fields with a guide, the trip to the Borobudur eco-village and ride in a horse cart which also charmingly had us playing the Gamelan with local kids.

Travel Tip #88
Ujung Kulon National Park at the western most point of Java is the most incredible national park in Indonesia. It’s the natural habitat of the critically endangered Javanese Rhino. Besides the Rhino, the remains of the phenomenal Krakatoa (Anak Krakatau) are part of this national park, as is some spectacular underwater life at Peucang Island.
Customer Feedback
10 out of 10 for the service we received... The organisation and planning of our trip was excellent. The first week involved quite a few activities and due to his planning everything went like clockwork. We never had to think about anything which made the holiday stress free!
