Tual, Southeast Moluccas

INTRODUCTION

Tual, Southeast Moluccas

Tual is a city in Maluku Province of Indonesia. The city, called Kota Tual in Indonesian, is geographically located within the Kei Islands, on Dullah Island. The city was located in one of the key maritime routes of the spice trade which extended from the Moluccas southwards towards the Lesser Sunda Islands and Java, which have had significant effects on the culture and people in the region.

Since 2007 has been administratively separate from the rest of the Kei Islands, which form the Southeast Maluku Regency (the city is on the same administrative level as the Regency). The city covers an area of 254.4 sq.km, and includes a number of small islands situated to the west of the principal Kei Islands (Kei Besar and Kei Kecil).

Arriving at the Tual Port, visitors will be welcomed into a unexplored archipelago unlike any other. Its landscape remain faithful to their traditional culture, its beaches well-maintained to its natural form, and its underwater beauty untouched by pollution.
