Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Medan. Travel through palm plantations, paddy fields, Pematang Siantar, and the highlands toward Parapat. After lunch overlooking Lake Toba, cross the legendary volcanic lake by public ferry to Samosir Island and visit Tomok Village, a traditional Batak Toba settlement known for the royal tombs of King Sidabutar, local markets, handwoven ulos cloth, and wood carvings.

In the late afternoon, continue to the jetty and board Salaya Yacht for a golden sunset trip on Lake Toba. Enjoy the peaceful scenery around Batu Gantung, where dramatic limestone cliffs, local folklore, cool lake breezes, and glowing sunset views create one of the most iconic experiences in the Lake Toba area.

On the second day, explore Samosir’s natural highlights, including Bukit Holbung, also known as the “Teletubbies Hill,” with sweeping views of Lake Toba, mountains, and villages. Continue to Bukit Sibea-bea, famous for its hilltop Jesus Christ statue and the dramatic Kelok 8 road overlooking the lake. Visit Efrata Waterfall, surrounded by lush greenery and refreshing mountain air, before relaxing at Tepi Coffee with locally brewed Sumatra coffee, cake, and a lakeside lunch. The journey ends with a ferry crossing back to the mainland and a scenic return drive to Medan.
