The Allure of Ternate-Tidore
From the air, life on Ternate Island seems to be concentrated on the coastal areas. It is understandable, given the location of its small and large harbors, center of commerce and points of departure and arrival of ferry boats serving the surrounding islets.
Ternate City, capital of North Maluku, is just the right size to be toured on a motorcycle, and there are plenty of ojeks (motorcycle cabs) to choose from at street corners, as elsewhere in the country. The first stop, as recommended by a few tour books, is the tower of Tolukko Fort at Dufa-Dufa. Situated at a high altitude, it offers an open view on parts of the island and the sea.
