Harau Valley


Along the road to Harau Valley is a lovely countryside. Steep granite walls shelter the fertile valley. A waterfall, 150 meters high falls into a basin. The Harau Valley is a nature and wildlife reserve, where tapir, siamangs, boars, wild goats and tigers still roam. The Harau Valley is 15 km from Payakumbuh.

Sawai



This pretty village, located at the foot of towering limestone cliffs, is Seram's most popular tourist-destination. Apart from its scenic setting, it offers great accommodation, good snorkelling, birdwatching, and is a possible starting point for treks through the interior.

Pulau Pombo


This postcard-perfect little islet surrounded by white sands is sitting in the straits between Ambon and Haruku, to the north-east of Waai. If you are not going to visit remoter parts of Maluku, chartering a boat to bring you out here could provide that essential "desert island" experience!

Indonesian Heroes' Park



Not to be outdone by the Commonwealth, Indonesia has also established a similar memorial nearby, dedicated to the soldiers who fought to keep South Maluku in Indonesia. It is however far less attractive, with an overdose of concrete.

Duurstede Fort


This large, 17th century Dutch fort stands on the sea-side in Kota Saparua. It has been heavily restored, making it look a bit like it has been built of concrete just a few years ago.
Though it has lost its originality, its location remains beautiful, right next to the beach.
If it is locked, you will need to find a care-taker to let you in - ask at the nearby Penginapan Duurstede first.

Pulau Sambiki


This idyllic little uninhabited islet just off the coast at Sambiki village is Obi's main tourist attraction.
It offers great beaches and snorkelling.
You can hire someone to row you over here in a canoe from the village.

Galela


An easy day-trip from Tobelo, but even more rewarding if given more time, the Galela district consists of a dozen villages fringing 3 beautiful volcanic lakes inland from its capital Soasio, plus remote coastal ones along the eastern side of Hamahera's northernmost tip.
There is a lot to see or do here, from climbing North Maluku's most impressive active volcano through exploring WWII relics and remote waterfalls to snorkelling on some of Halmahera's finest reefs.
