Banda Neira Trip

After breakfast, you will be picked up by your guide and drive to Hatta Island for snorkeling & tours of the island of Hatta. Hatta Island is a small island located about 25 kilometers from the Banda Islands. The island was previously named Rozengain Island and was given the name Hatta because in the past Indonesia's second Vice President Mohammad Hatta had been exiled to Banda Naira. This is a form of respect for the local population to the figure of Bung Hatta who had previously devoted to providing education to children in Banda Naira during his exile. The beach on Hatta Island is arguably the most unique because there are deep-sea trenches near the coast and we can snorkel in clear sea water and healthy coral reefs that appear to surround the sea trough. After spending some time here snorkeling then go back to your hotel. Lunch & Dinner will be provided at a local restaurant

The volcano rises 4000 m from the sea floor and is the most recent and very active cone of a 7 km wide volcanic caldera mostly underwater. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the region and is known for violent activity including tall ash emissions, lava fountaining, strombolian explosions, and occasional lava flows, some of which have reached the sea.
