Hol Sulamadaha is a shore-access Ternate reef with coral gardens and turtles.
Hol Sulamadaha is a shore-access reef near Sulamadaha Beach, about 30 minutes from Ternate city center. Its dense coral gardens, shallow reef structure, and relaxed bay setting make it a good fit for easy scuba and snorkeling. Divers and snorkelers can expect green turtles, reef fish, and small critters on calm days when the water stays clear. It suits slow, careful exploration more than fast drift-style diving, and the shallow coral cover rewards good buoyancy and gentle finning.
