Site details

A remote, exposed pinnacle island northwest of the main Banda group, effectively the gateway to the open Banda Sea. A chain of coral hills rises from deep water and attracts big pelagics, including the seasonal schooling hammerheads the region is known for, plus mantas and occasional whale sharks. Conditions can be demanding with current and open-water exposure.
