Sulamadaha Bay in Ternate is widely regarded as a 'hidden heaven' by visitors who are captivated by its exceptionally clear, turquoise waters. The location is a premier spot for aquatic activities, with many reviewers highlighting the excellent conditions for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. A recurring highlight in reviews is the 'flying boat' effect, where the water's clarity makes vessels appear to float in mid-air, providing unique photography opportunities. Accessing the bay requires a short, ten-minute walk along a path that offers scenic views of the surrounding jungle and the impressive Mount Gamalama. The site is well-equipped with practical amenities, including local food stalls serving affordable snacks, clean bathrooms, and prayer rooms.
