Discover The Banda Sea & Spice Islands By Private Yacht
The Banda Sea and Spice Islands offer one of Indonesia’s most fascinating charter destinations, combining exceptional diving, volcanic landscapes, and centuries of history. Once the centre of the global spice trade, this remote island chain is now known for its quiet anchorages, healthy reefs, and small island communities where life has changed little over the generations.
Divers travel here for the seasonal scalloped hammerhead sharks, which gather between September and November and again in March, while the reefs are home to sea snakes, turtles, colourful coral gardens, and an incredible diversity of marine life throughout the year. Above the water, explore historic Dutch forts, walk through fragrant nutmeg plantations, hike active volcanoes, and experience a region that tells an important part of Indonesia’s history.
