Lake Galela is one of the easiest countryside trips from Tobelo, a broad freshwater lake north of town. The usual pleasure is simple: sit by the water, look across to the green hills, and order grilled mujair from one of the floating restaurants. It is not dramatic, but it gives you a clear view of rural North Halmahera life away from the coast road.
