Set in Lake Toba, a massive crater lake, the volcanic island of Samosir is said to be the heart of the local Toba Batak culture. Samosir is one of the world’s largest islands within an island. It boasts a rich heritage, laidback atmosphere, ancient stone tombs, whitewashed churches dotting the forested landscape, and traditional villages sporting curved roofs lining its magnificent shoreline. Visitors can look forward to a number of wonderful activities including learning how to dance the Tor Tor, a traditional dance of the Batak ethnic group, cycling around the scenic countryside, and climbing the majestic Pusuk Buhit Mountain to soak up panoramic views overlooking the magnificent blue volcanic lake.
