Maluku 4D2N #Ambon
Air-Inclusive Package
Known as the 'Pearl of the East,' Ambon’s history is rooted in the 16th century when Portuguese explorers built fortresses in Honipopu, transforming the island into the world's most sought-after spice trade hub. As a specially curated part of our Tour Event Package, this 4D2N Ambon expedition begins with a trip departing from Jakarta by air, traversing a 2,382 km 'air bridge' to reach this historic gem. Once the strategic headquarters of the VOC, Ambon today preserves a majestic colonial legacy amidst its lush hills and tranquil blue coastlines, offering a stark yet beautiful contrast to the long sea voyages of the early spice traders.
Through this immersive journey, we invite you to embrace our Slow Travel philosophy—savoring every moment in harmony with local melodies on an island honored as a UNESCO City of Music. Beyond its history, Ambon is a sensory sanctuary where you can explore the authentic culinary heritage of the Moluccas. Guided by our local Tour Leader, you will indulge in a deep dive of flavors, from the comforting Papeda with Ikan Kuah Kuning and the zesty Rujak Natsepa by the shore to the smoky aroma of Ikan Asar. Every sip of Kopi Rarobang, infused with ancient spices, ensures a profound connection with the peace and soul of the legendary Spice Islands.
