Getting to Proco Island Bambu Resort
Proco Island is one of the most remote dive destinations in Indonesia. Reaching it requires at least two connections beyond your international arrival: a domestic flight to Ternate, followed by a sea transfer to South Halmahera, and a further speedboat to Proco Island. The resort coordinates the final transfer from South Halmahera. Allow a full day of travel from your nearest international hub.
