TERNATE SHORE EXCURSION: SULTAN'S PALACE, CLOVE HILLS & LAKE TOLIRE

Ternate is a small volcanic island that was once one of the richest places in the world, because cloves grew here and almost nowhere else.

The route (about 6.5 hours)

• The Kedaton, palace of the Sultan of Ternate.
• Old forts from the spice trade, such as Tolukko and Oranje.
• A drive around the island past clove and nutmeg trees on the slopes of Gamalama volcano.
• Batu Angus, a field of black lava rock, and Lake Tolire, a deep green crater lake.
