About Tour
Volcano trekking tour to the Molucca Sea: Sulawesi, and Halmahera
The legendary Molucca Sea, known for its precious largest density of active volcanoes of any region in Indonesia, thanks to a very complex and unique tectonic setting. Two active subduction zones to the west and east have consumed a small oceanic microplate, the Molucca Sea plate, producing two active volcanic arcs in North Sulawesi and in Halmahera. On this tour we visit no less than 5 of the most active volcanoes in the world, two of which - Dukono and Ibu - have been in near permanent activity for years while the others, Lokon, Soputan and Karangetang erupt frequently.
