Seram island in Maluku is one of the best kept secrets of Indonesia. The Ora Beach Resort has beautiful views like Bora Bora, and most of the island is still relatively unexplored.

This is one of the best places to visit in Indonesia if you’re looking for a secluded paradise with jungles, mountains, beaches, and wildlife.

Seram island is not exactly easy to reach, and Ora bay is even more isolated, but you’re rewarded with stunning scenery and lots of great snorkeling opportunities without the crowds you’d see in places like Bali.

This travel guide will explain how to get to Seram island and Ora beach, where to stay, what to do in the area, and everything else you need to know before you go!

How To Get To Seram Island

Seram island is located near the busy island of Ambon in Maluku, Indonesia. Getting there is quite a journey, with several steps involved.

Currently there’s no active airport in Seram island, so you can’t fly there yet. The nearest airport is Pattimura International Airport in Ambon (AMQ), which has direct flights from Jakarta, Makassar, Ternate, Sorong, and other places in Indonesia. You can shop for flights on Skyscanner.

Once you arrive in Ambon, you’ll need a taxi for the 1 hour drive from the airport to the ferry port in Tulehu. Here, you’ll catch a fast ferry to Amahai port on Seram island. The boats are old, but comfortable, and take about 2 hours to get to Amahai.
