What you'll see
The journey, one day at a time
Arrive Tangkoko Nature Reserve

Walk the coastal forest for hornbills, cuscus and the maleo. Search the figs for tarsiers and the trails for endemics.

Halmahera Island
Search the forest for Halmahera's Moluccan endemics. Bird in the morning and snorkel the reef by afternoon. Wallace's standardwing links Halmahera directly to the birth of evolutionary biology — and it still displays each dawn.
