Tanjung Bongo

Enjoy the view and you may eat a mujair bakar ( grilled freshwater fish Oreochromis mossambicus) in some floating restaurants around the lake.

A nice white sand beach right in front of Luari town. You can take a minibus there. Snorkelling is nice off the beach, in low tide however it's hard to swim across the shallow part without scratches. Snorkelling in front of the headland connected with a sandbar just north of the beach is even nicer. The beach may be very crowded on weekends and groups of schoolchildren may want to take many pictures with foreigners.

An impressive 1,259 m high active volcano. It can be climbed, usually in a two day hike with a night near the top. Only recommended for the physically fit. A guide is absolutely necessary, the active volcano spews ash clouds and can be very dangerous: several tourists were killed by an explosion in 2026. The ash makes it far into the forest below and may irritate your eyes, especially if dripping down with rain from the leaves, take a good hat, some people hike with swimming goggles. Inquire at your hotel for a guide. If the guide has a good motorcycle you don't have to hike for the first part.

Tobelo city landmark. There is an example of a traditional house from a tribe in North Halmahera called Rumah Adat Hibualamo.

One of the biggest lakes in North Halmahera.
