Halmahera Island



      Halmahera is the largest island of the Moluccas Islands group, belonging to North Maluku Province. It is a mixed Muslim and Christian community and is largely mountainous and sparsely populated, featuring idyllic beaches and some good walking.


Halmahera island lies just to the east of Ternate, the archipelago’s capital and the main gateway to the large island. Its main appeal is the remoteness and often stunning, quiet beaches around the coast. Many of these beaches feature spectacular corals reefs not far offshore with a staggering amount of life on them.

Mount Mamuya is a 930-meter active volcano provides good views and trekking. Mount Mamuya can often be seen emitting lava and ash. The Halmahera island capital, Tobelo, is worthy of a few hours. It located on the east coast and has a nice setting high over the water. Out to the east of Tobelo are the popular islands of Tagalaya and Tolonuu.

Halmahera island doesn’t have any sizeable airports, with most air traffic coming through the provincial capital airport of Sultan Babullah Airport on Ternate Island. Flights arrive here from Jakarta, via Makassar, in about 5 hours. You can take a short hop from here to Galela Airport on Halmahera island, which is near to Tobelo. Boats also run to Halmahera direct from Surabaya (East Java) and Manado (North Sulawesi).

Tidore Islands

     Tidore Islands are a small group of islands of the larger North Maluku island chain in eastern Indonesia. They are a string of volcanic cones off the west coast of Halmahera Island dominated by the main Tidore Island. The main island has all the appeal, with its 1,730m Kiematabu Peak, dense jungle and striking coastline. The capital of the Tidore Islands, Tidore, lies on the east  coast and features a fun Sunday market. The small but popular town of Soasio is just south of here. A road goes around most of the island and connects with Ternate at the northern end by bridge. The Kiematabu Volcano is Tidore’s main prize and lies down in the south of the island. Sabale Caldera is in the north and also has a couple of cones where there is also some decent walking. Tidore is also surrounded by several pretty islands, most notably to the north and south. Boats can be chartered from Tidore or Soasio and visitors can go island-hopping. Ternat...
