Haloban is the most suitable starting point for treks into the jungle on Pulau Tuangku. Recently Yayasan Pulau Banyak (YPB) arranged training for 5 locals in Haloban. This project was paid by Mr. Siegfried Klein of Germany. The trainers came from the Rainforest Lodge in Kedah. The guides need more training and experience, not to mention to learn English. They have already started with that. Yayasan Pulau Banyak is also supplying some gears that can be used when they bring guests to the forest.

The jungle is in very good condition and one can end every day of trekking at a beach. The few reports are lyrical. A walk along the north coast to the west and down south along the beaches can be also recommended. A nice day trek is up to the summit of Gunung Tiusa, 313m above sea level. Enjoy a great view over the archipelago. One possible route is to walk from Haloban to Teluk Dalam were the original Haloban once were located. Walk further and up the Asantola River as far as possible. Continue over the land to the west to the beautiful beach Pasir Panjang. There is a bat cave behind the beach. Walk along the beach to Teluk Limo where it is possible for a boat to pick you up.
