OPEN TRIP KEI ISLANDS
When the tide gently pulls back and stretches of white sand emerge like a natural bridge, the people of Kei know — the time of Meti Kei has come.
This breathtaking natural phenomenon is more than just beauty; it’s a moment of gratitude, celebration, and cultural pride deeply rooted in the heart of Southeast Maluku.
And this year, the Meti Kei Festival returns in 2025, bringing fresh energy, new performances, and a renewed spirit that unites nature, culture, and community.
The Meti Kei Festival is not only about the receding sea — it’s about the harmony between humans and nature, and the deep respect the Kei people hold for the ocean that sustains them.
For several days, both locals and visitors immerse themselves in a colorful array of cultural events, traditional dances, music performances, local food, and sacred rituals honoring the gifts of nature.
From the dynamic Sawat and Cakalele dances to canoe races, cultural parades, and local craft exhibitions, every moment of this festival reflects the spirit of unity and thanksgiving that defines the Kei Islands.
The word “Meti” refers to the extreme low tide that reveals long stretches of sand, connecting one island to another — creating what many call “the road above the sea.”
It’s a rare natural wonder found only in Kei, where you can literally walk across the ocean floor, surrounded by turquoise water and endless horizons.
Each year, travelers from across Indonesia and beyond come to witness this miracle of nature, to walk the white sands, and to experience the warm hospitality of the Kei people.
Following its success in previous years, Meti Kei Festival 2025 returns with even greater excitement and creativity.
This year’s event promises grand seaside performances, intergenerational cultural showcases, and musical collaborations blending traditional rhythms with modern tunes.
Supported by the local government and community, the festival continues to grow as a national tourism icon while staying true to the values and wisdom of Kei’s ancestral traditions.
For those seeking untouched beauty, living culture, and genuine warmth, Kei is the place to be.
The Meti Kei Festival 2025 is not just a celebration — it’s an invitation to walk with nature, share in local life, and feel the heartbeat of the islands.
So when the sea recedes once more this year, come and witness the wonder of Meti Kei with your own eyes.
Here, every step on the white sand is a footprint of love — for the people, the culture, and the islands of Southeast Maluku. 💙
