Things to do in Maluku & Papua
A humid equatorial realm that ranges from the spice-scented Banda Sea archipelago and Raja Ampat’s karst islets to glaciated 4 500 m peaks on the Papuan mainland. Travellers paddle sea-kayaks through limestone labyrinths, join live-aboard dive trips over sea-mount drop-offs, snorkel with whale-sharks in Triton Bay, trek jungle ridges to bird-of-paradise leks, and tackle high-altitude alpine rock on Carstensz Pyramid or remote hut-to-hut hikes across the Baliem Valley.
