Rowa Island, a Snorkeling & Diving Paradise in Maluku

The island offers an enchanting mangrove forest ecosystem and rock cliffs that rise above the clear seawater. The clarity of the seawater on Rowa Island makes snorkeling and diving here an unforgettable experience. Swimming and diving in the waters of Bair Island provides an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful coral reefs, but care must be taken not to damage the underwater ecosystem. The best time to enjoy these activities is between March and August when the waves are calmer.

In addition to its underwater beauty, visitors can also enjoy the view from the top of the coral hill on the island. From the top of the hill, the panoramic view of the vast sea and the green natural landscape can be enjoyed perfectly. However, visitors need to be careful as the cliffs are quite steep.

Renting a boat to explore the entire island is another activity not to be missed. One of the must-visit spots is Lorong Mati, two high cliffs that are close together and form a beautiful passageway for taking pictures. The mangrove forest around the island also offers a cool and fresh view and is home to small fish and Blacktip Sharks.
