Day 1

• Arrival at Ternate's Sultan Babullah Airport and pick-up by your English-speaking tour guide.
• If you believe, you may feel fresh enough - despite the long journey - you can of course start your first bird watching tour directly after your arrival in Ternate. If this is just a connecting programme in cotext with a preceding tour, you anyway will be fine. Your tour guide will be happy to accompany you to the first two interesting sites to observe, among others, the North Moluccan Pitta, Blue Capped Fruit Dove, Torresion Crow, Brush Cuckoo, Tricolour Grebe, Blue-and-White Kingfisher. In this context, a simple Lunch & Dinner will be served in a small local restaurant and are included in the price.
• However, if you prefer to rest after your long journey to Maluku and before continuing the trip to Pulau Obi in the evening, we can arrange accommodation for the day (extra charge applies for day accommodation, lunch & dinner), where you can freshen up and prepare for the tour and receive helpful information from your guide about the upcoming tour programme.The rest of the day would be free for you.
• You can either spend it at the hotel's pool or simply enjoy the enchanting ambience of your accommodation.
• Depending on the time of arrival, you can also enjoy lunch and/or dinner on site.
