Wahai is a town on the northern coast of the Island of Seram, North Seram District, Indonesia,. The Wahai Area has a total population of 11,000. Agricultural clearing has resulted in deforestation in and around the area of Wahai. Sometime before 1894, the Dutch established a fortified trader post in Wahai, due to its strategic location, before it was placed under the jurisdiction of the civilian government in 1914.
