Ambon Island is part of the Maluku Islands of Indonesia. The island is mountainous, well watered, and fertile. It is one of the 3 main islands of the South Moluccas. The main city and seaport is Kota Ambon, which is also the capital of Maluku province.
Ambon island offers plenty of experiences for adventurous travelers. From exploring the charming Kota Ambon – the main town of the island, to walking up mountains through lush tropical vegetation.
