CAKALANG ADVENTURE

Cakalang Adventure is more than just a trip organizer—it’s a movement of explorers, storytellers, and nature lovers who seek something deeper in every journey. Founded with a vision to unlock the raw, unfiltered beauty of Indonesia’s eastern frontier, Cakalang Adventure is dedicated to curating immersive, safe, and meaningful expeditions through mountains, forests, and volcanic terrain that many travelers have yet to discover. With roots deeply embedded in the heart of Eastern Indonesia, Cakalang Adventure specializes in organizing special interest trips to some of the most remote and majestic locations in the archipelago—especially in North Maluku, Sulawesi, and the surrounding islands. Our name, “Cakalang,” reflects our identity: agile, bold, and closely tied to the sea and land. Much like the resilient skipjack tuna from which we take our name, we are always in motion—charting new trails and connecting people to the power of nature.

At Cakalang Adventure, we believe that adventure is not just about adrenaline, but about insight, connection, and humility. Each of our trips is built around three guiding principles: sustainability, cultural respect, and transformational experience. Whether it’s summiting the smoky heights of Mount Dukono, camping under the stars at the base of Mount Gamkonora, or navigating the dense forests of Halmahera, our goal is to deliver journeys that leave lasting memories and minimal impact. Our team consists of experienced local guides, nature photographers, logistics experts, and passionate volunteers. We work closely with local communities—not just to ensure safety and authenticity—but to foster inclusive tourism that benefits local economies and preserves cultural heritage. By engaging with local porters, storytellers, and village elders, we allow travelers to experience the rich tapestry of life in Eastern Indonesia, far beyond what guidebooks offer.

Safety and preparation are at the heart of every expedition. We ensure that all participants are thoroughly briefed, equipped with reliable gear, and supported by a responsive on-ground team. Our itineraries are flexible yet carefully designed to accommodate various skill levels, from seasoned mountaineers to first-time hikers seeking new challenges. Beyond trekking, we also offer tailored experiences such as volcano tours, cultural immersions, ecological study trips, and creative travel documentation services including drone footage and cinematic storytelling. These services are crafted to help participants not only explore, but also tell their own stories—through visuals, writing, or shared moments around a campfire. In a time when mainstream tourism often overlooks the edge in favor of convenience, Cakalang Adventure dares to go where the map fades—inviting you to reconnect with the wild, the unfamiliar, and your own sense of wonder. We believe that every path, every flame, every peak has a story, and we’re here to help you write yours.

So pack your curiosity, lace your boots, and leave your comfort zone behind.
Cakalang Adventure is your travel mate—into the heart of adventure.
