Lake Toba in High Season - Is it Too Touristy? North Sumatra Travel Vlog

Lake Toba in high season - what's it REALLY like? We live in the most popular tourist village on Samosir Island in Lake Toba, North Sumatra. Full of beautiful guesthouses and restaurants, Tuktuk is the best place to stay when you're visiting stunning Danau Toba.

But what's it like during high season in July and August? Is it too touristy? Is it too crowded and busy? In this video, we take you all around Tuktuk Village and show you the reality of busy season in Sumatra - which is the complete opposite of what you might expect!

We'll also show you around the neighbouring villages of Tomok and Ambarita - two places you'll likely visit when you're exploring Samosir Island from Tuktuk.

Come with us for an insider's look at this incredible part of North Sumatra and see why you should include it in your Sumatra travel itinerary!
