South East Asian Trips

The Banda Islands are an archipelago of eight islands, some of which are volcanic. These islands were known as the 'Spice Islands' in the 1400s, because of the valuable spices grown here. Today the islands are popular for diving and snorkeling, with the waters of the coral reefs teeming with underwater life. Fishing is also a popular activity.

Once the World's only source of highly sought-after nutmeg, the Bandas are a group of tiny islands rich in history. Their gorgeous coral reefs and quiant colonial architecture, especially in the capital Bandaneira, has made them the most popular destination in all Maluku.
