Manuk, another volcanic 'snake island' in the Banda Sea, offers a similar experience to Gunung Api but in an even more remote setting. The sky is filled with frigatebirds, and the water is filled with sea snakes, creating a truly wild, 'end of the world' feeling.

Features

A remote volcanic island that is a breeding ground for frigatebirds and a haven for sea snakes. Bubbles from geothermal vents can be seen rising from the seabed. The reef is healthy and also attracts larger fish from the surrounding deep water.
