Ternate, Maluku Islands

Belonging to the Northern Mollucas, the two rival islands of Ternate and Tidore stand face to face, with the island of Halmahera as referee. But aside from former struggles, these old bhold producers of cloves come together on one point: the extreme beauty of their landscapes. As you cross the picturesque fishing ports of Ternate, your gaze will be irresistibly drawn to the spectacular Gamalama volcano that stands in the centre or the island.  Less frenetic than its neighbour, Tidore, whose view from Ternate is absolutely splendid, invites you to explore its luxuriant nature dominated by Kiematabu and Maitara volcanoes.
