Halmahera liveaboard
Halmahera liveaboard diving the hidden gem of Indonesia
A Halmahera Liveaboard brings you to the unexplored island between the world-famous diving hotspots, North Sulawesi and Raja Ampat which, is becoming a popular liveaboard diving destination. Surrounded by some world-class muck diving, soft coral gardens, mangroves, and the black sands of the infamous volcanic islands of Ternate and Tidore, this spectacular diving destination in Indonesia are considered to offer nearly as rich marine biodiversity as Raja Ampat.
Once the spice trade capital, Halmahera is now visited infrequently due to its remote location and population. This has been a significant reason why the diving spots on these beautiful islands are yet to be explored or even discovered. According to the surveys carried out in recent years, the abundance of the varieties of marine and other living species, these islands though not fully discovered, can still be quite easily compared to Raja Ampat. Also, because of the smaller number of tourists visiting this hidden gem of an island, it is an absolute delight to explore and dive around these waters, discovering the untouched and unspoiled beauty of these dive spots.
