Lake Toba & Samosir Private Tour
Lake Toba & Samosir Private Tour
At 6 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Medan and drive to the small village of Parapat, located on the shores of Lake Toba. Getting up early will be well worth it when you catch a glimpse of the captivating views!
After a four-hour journey, we'll arrive at our destination. There, we'll board a ferry that will take us to the island of Samosir. Along the way, we'll enjoy spectacular views of the volcanic landscapes surrounding us. A truly impressive sight!
Once we've disembarked, we'll make our way to the village of Tomok, where the tomb of King Sidabutar awaits us. Did you know that this is one of the oldest royal tombs of the Batak people? As we admire the typical architecture here, we'll talk about the origins of these indigenous Indonesian cultures.
We'll continue to discover many interesting facts about the Batak cultures by touring the village of Ambarita. Here, we'll see their meeting halls, rice barns, and houses with their characteristic stone courtyards.
After the guided tour of the villages of Samosir Island, you'll have an hour of free time to enjoy a refreshment at a local restaurant. Afterwards, we'll get back on the boat to Parapat.
Our private tour will come to an end back at your hotel in Medan at 6 pm.
