Indonesia Birding & Wildlife Tours

Specialist birding & wildlife trips across Indonesia, with a strong focus on Halmahera and Eastern Indonesia

Welcome to Hamahera Birding

HalmaheraBirding.com offers professionally guided birding tours throughout Indonesia, led by local experts with deep field experience. While our trips span many of the country’s key birding regions, our heart and strongest expertise lie in Halmahera and Eastern Indonesia, where some of the world’s most unique and sought-after bird species still thrive in wild, lightly explored forests.

Why Halmahera and Eastern Indonesia?

Eastern Indonesia represents the crossroads of Asian and Australasian birdlife, creating an extraordinary concentration of endemic species. Halmahera birding is especially renowned as the home of Wallace’s Standardwing Bird-of-Paradise, along with Umbrella Cockatoo, Halmahera Golden Bulbul, North Moluccan Pitta, and many other island endemics. Compared to more visited destinations, Halmahera and the wider Maluku region offer quieter forests, authentic local encounters, and exceptional birding opportunities in a truly remote setting.
