There are SO many AMAZING things to do in Lake Toba not only on Samosir Island, but in the areas surrounding this incredible volcanic lake in Sumatra, Indonesia.

Although Lake Toba is one of the most wellknown destinations in North Sumatra, there is very little information for travellers on what to do and where to go.

We've spent the last year exploring stunning Danau Toba and Pulau Samosir, and have created this amazing list of the 50 BEST things to do in Lake Toba, North Sumatra.

From discovering the beautifully unique Batak culture to appreciating the mindblowing natural beauty of this area, we have all the best places to go and things to do for you to create the perfect Lake Toba itinerary.

For more detailed information on each of our Top 50 Lake Toba attractions, visit our matching blog below you'll find a map showing every location and other essential info for your Samosir Island trip:
