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
Six great and amazingly different hotels - we would happily recommend any of them. We had three excellent guides as well. And we lost track of the number of "Wow" moments. In addition to the obvious, including Paramban, Borobodur and Bromo, we would add our tour of the markets + rickshaw ride in Malang, and having coffee with Mr Rai at the Agung Rai Gallery in Bali. Our guide in Bali, Otok (?) was excellent at explaining local culture, and we left an offering at his family shrine.
