Halmahera Birding Trip 7D6N

This Halmahera Birding Trip 7 Days 6 Nights offers an immersive introduction to one of Indonesia’s richest endemic birding destinations. Beginning in Ternate and crossing to mainland Halmahera, the journey quickly moves into productive lowland and coastal forests around Sidangoli and Binagara, where key species such as Moluccan Starling, Blue-capped Fruit Dove, Ivory-breasted Pitta, North Moluccan Pitta, and White Cockatoo are regularly encountered. Night birding adds another layer of excitement with chances for Moluccan Scops Owl, setting the stage for deeper exploration into Halmahera’s wild interior.

The highlight of the trip is an unforgettable early-morning visit to the display grounds of Wallace’s Standardwing Bird-of-Paradise, one of the most sought-after birds in the world. Extended birding time in the forests of Subaim and Mount Roni maximizes opportunities for Halmahera endemics including Umbrella Cockatoo, Halmahera Golden Bulbul, Dusky Myzomela, Halmahera Oriole, Halmahera White-eye, and Halmahera Spangled Drongo. The journey concludes back in Ternate with optional birding or snorkeling at Jikomalamo, creating a well-balanced Halmahera birding tour that blends rare species, remote habitats, and authentic local experiences.
