Comprising of over 1,000 islands, the Spice Islands in the Maluku region was once the center of the global spice trade. Centuries-old traditions and European relics on Banda Neira, once a booming spice hub, sit against the backdrop of Gunung Banda Api (“Fire Mountain”), an active volcano that’s also a hiker’s and birdwatchers’ favourite.
Underwater, the Spice Islands houses a unique collection of marine life. Lava flow into the sea from a 1988 Gunung Banda Api eruption set off a massive rebirth of coral reefs. Today, these “underwater gardens” are among the liveliest and most diverse marine habitats in the East Indonesian Archipelago.
