Unveiling Spice Heritage and Unique Cultural Treasures

Forts & Colonial Sites:

Stroll among storied remnants of European occupation—heritage buildings that provide invaluable insights into the global significance of these islands from centuries past.

Authentic Spice-Infused Cuisine:

From freshly grilled seafood seasoned with fragrant local spices to sweet and savory sago treats, regional dishes illustrate the remarkable legacy of the Spice Islands in global cuisine.

Tip: Be sure to visit traditional markets to see (and smell!) the incredible array of spices, and feel the vibrant trading atmosphere that endures to this day.

A Breathtaking Underwater Paradise

Beyond their storied past, the Spice Islands boast crystal-clear waters, teeming coral reefs, and a mesmerizing undersea world.
