Tour Overview

Steamy Sumatra is a rugged jungle paradise for all types of adventurers.

Head to Berastagi and hike up the steaming active volcano Sibayak, basking in the glory of misty panoramas from the summit. Finish in Samonsir on Lake Toba, where the colourfully dressed Christian Batak people welcome you.
