South Halmahera
South Halmahera is one of Indonesia’s best-kept secrets — a remote, wild and breathtakingly beautiful region that sits within the Coral Triangle, the global hotspot for marine biodiversity. Unlike more mainstream destinations, South Halmahera remains largely untouched by mass tourism, offering adventurers and ocean lovers the chance to explore vibrant reefs, dense jungles, and authentic local culture without the crowds.
The region is home to more than 60 world-class dive sites, with dramatic underwater topography ranging from coral gardens and steep drop-offs to caverns and macro-rich muck dives. With its rich marine life and uncrowded dive boats, South Halmahera is fast becoming a must-visit for divers seeking something new, raw, and unforgettable.
Flights
Getting here involves a flight to Labuha via Jakarta or Manado, followed by a scenic car and boat transfer — but once you arrive, you’ll realise it’s more than worth the journey.
