Etymology
Mount Jaboi, also known locally as "Serbok", is a name that refers to its volcanic nature. The name "Serbok" (volcanic ash) is used by the local community to describe this volcano, most likely because of its activity that produces steam or gas from its crater. This name reflects the character of an active volcano that emits compounds such as sulfur and carbon dioxide.
The name "Jaboi" itself comes from the name of the village where the mountain is located, namely {{ill|Jaboi, Sukajaya, Sabang|id|lt=Jaboi}} in Sukajaya District, Sabang. This village is the main entrance for tourists and climbers who want to explore the mountain. In addition to the official name and local name, Mount Jaboi is also often referred to as "Gunung Api Jaboi" to emphasize its status as an active volcano that is a tourist attraction and geological study in the Weh Island area.Matanasi, Petrik (2024-06-28).

Description
Mount Jaboi's crater area is marked by white rocks and sulfur deposits, creating a barren landscape. Dead trees are also present around the crater. Climbers are advised to bring masks because the smell of volcanic gases such as sulfur and CO₂ is quite pungent. Hot springs with water temperatures above {{Convert|40|C|F|abbr=off}} are present, which attract many visitors for therapeutic tourism.{{Cite web |last=Admin |date=2019-05-26 |title=Jaboi Geothermal |url=https://jaboi.gampong.id/berita/kategori/wisata/jaboi-geothermal |access-date=10 November 2024 |website=Jaboi Gampong}}{{Cite web |title=Desa Wisata Jaboi |url=https://jadesta.kemenparekraf.go.id/desa/jaboi |access-date=2024-12-03 |website=jadesta.kemenparekraf.go.id}}Setyadi, Agus.
