Ambon is characterized by its rugged, mountainous terrain, with several peaks that rise dramatically from the sea, where you will find a diverse coastline with both rocky cliffs and sandy beaches.
Ambon is surrounded by coral reefs that are part of the infamous Coral Triangle, a region known for its exceptional marine biodiversity. The reefs are teeming with life, including a variety of coral species, fish, mollusks, and other marine organisms.
Upon arrival to Ambon embark and immediately cruise out the harbour to enjoy your first experience of the subliminal snorkelling and diving within the bays of Ambon.
An essential stop in the Spice Islands, Hila is home to the historical Fort Amsterdam, which is stashed amidst sprawling coconut fields, tea plantations, and shady sago palms. The village is worth seeing for those interested in the history of these islands. A visit to the Wapauwe Mosque in Kaitetu village, with its deer-skin Quran and palm thatch roof, makes for a fascinating few hours for those who want to venture deeper into the mountains.
Part of the beautiful and impressive Banda Islands, Banda Neira is home to rare spices, exquisite corals, the shadow of volcanoes, and a fascinating history. Surrounded by the sparkling blue sea, Banda Neira is nicknamed the land of spice and fire. It is home to the mystical Myristica trees with their sweet aroma and towering greens that produce the infamous nutmeg and mace. In the 16th century, these fragrant spices would be traded for jade, gold, and silks. With so much history, charter guests can explore Fort Belgica with its imposing strength, medieval structures, and wildflowers growing through the cracks. Across the narrow strait, you can see Gunung Banda Api – the perfectly shaped volcano looming. Hiking, spice tours, diving, and snorkeling are excellent ways to spend time in Banda Neira.

Like the rest of the Spice Islands, Run was dedicated to cultivating nutmeg, and even today, you can still see the locals drying out cloves in the sun-baked streets.
