            Itinerary

            Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Medan, heading south through vast expanses of oil palm and paddy fields. As you travel along the toll road, enjoy the lush green views along the way. The road then climbs towards Parapat, a lovely lakeside town that's the gateway to Lake Toba.

            When you get to Parapat, hop on a ferry to Samosir Island, which is right in the middle of Lake Toba. Samosir Island is a cultural gem, home to the fascinating Batak people known for their weaving, wood carving, and iconic stone tombs. Next, we'll visit the village of Tomok, where we'll see the ancient tomb of King Sidabutar. It's surrounded by traditional Batak houses with their distinctive boat-shaped roofs.

            After you've had a chance to explore the rich cultural heritage of the Batak people, enjoy a relaxing cruise on the beautiful, clear waters of Lake Toba, taking in the incredible volcanic scenery. After the lake tour, head back to Parapat and then drive back to Medan, arriving in the evening.
