NINNA.ID– How to get to Lake Toba cheaply and safely? Well, Lake Toba has 8 regencies. It depends on which regencies you plan to visit. The are four regencies that are the most visited by tourists. Samosir, Karo, Simalungun and Toba. Lake Toba is in North Sumatra province.
There are several ways to get to Lake Toba. If you live out of North Sumatra you should use either plane or ship. For foreigners, there are three gates available for you to get into Lake Toba.
First, you can get to Lake Toba from Kualanamu International Airport (KNO). Second, you can get to Lake Toba from Silangit Airport. The third choice, you get to Lake Toba from Tanjung Balai Harbor.
Kualanamu Airport
Most of foreigners use Kualanamu International Airport to get to Lake Toba. The distance between Kualanamu International Airport (KNO) and Lake Toba is around 174km (108 miles) and the quickest way to get there is to drive and then take a ferry takes around 4 hours.
From Kualanamu Airport, the cheap usually, the backpackers go to Sejahtera Bus to get cheap transport. Usually, they go to Medan, to Amplas Station.
If you find difficulties in getting to Amplas, you should ask the crew or worker in the airport how to get a bus to Amplas Station.
If you arrive at Amplas Station you can continue to find Sejahtera Bus, Parisma or Sampri. Most people use Sejahtera Bus to get to Parapat. In Parapat you can see Lake Toba.
Another option is using Parisma or Sampri. You will arrive in Tigaras. From there you can see Lake Toba view. If you choose to visit Samosir Island, you can use a Ferry or boat from Tigaras to Simanindo, Samosir.
As usual, foreigners concentrate located in TukTuk. But, so many homestays, and hotels around Simanindo.
But if you have difficulty with how to communicate with the hotel staff or the owner of the homestay, feel free to call the Tourist Information Centre telephone number.
Silangit Airport
From Silangit you can see Lake Toba view. But if you want to visit Samosir, you can order Damri Bus or taxi to Parapat. As I mentioned above, from Parapat you can see Lake Toba.
If you want to visit Samosir, you can use a Ferry or boat from Tigaraja, Parapat.
Tanjung Balai Harbor
From Tanjung Balai Harbor you can order a taxi or you should out from the Harbor then you can order public transport. This option is quite difficult if you solo traveller. But if you are in a big group, it will be easier to order a taxi for you to drive you to Lake Toba.
Car Rental
If you want to have more space and privacy, you can rent a car to Samosir. But you need to do research first to find the best company for you. Or you can order the car when you arrive in Kualanamu Airport.
The comparison. It must be cheaper using a taxi rather than rent a car. If we rent a car, it will be more expensive. A normal day for rent is around IDR 350.000 or more the wage of the driver is IDR 300.000+ fuel may cost IDR 200.000 + and the driver might be asking us for cigarettes and food/meals every day if he follows us to Lake Toba.
Reasons to Visit Lake Toba
There are many reasons why you should visit Lake Toba. Lake Toba is one of Global Geopark listed by UNESCO.
Lake Toba is formed by a mega-volcanic eruption 74,000 years ago. Lake Toba is 54 miles [87 km] long and 17 miles [27 km] wide, and it is easily the world’s largest crater lake.
It holds enough fresh water to cover the entire United Kingdom to a depth of about three feet. Set amid green volcanic peaks that form part of the Barisan Mountains, this spectacular body of water is, from any angle, a photographer’s dream.
The lake was born in one or more massive volcanic eruptions, which scientists believe may have been among the most violent in Earth’s history.
In time, the gigantic caldera filled with water, creating what is now known as Lake Toba. Subsequent upheavals in the lake bottom formed beautiful Samosir Island, which has an area of 250 square miles [647 sq km], about as big as the Republic of Singapore.
Sustaining Local Communities
The topography of area around the lake is undulated hills (43%), mountains (30%), and plain (27%). The area of Toba Caldera Geopark is estimated to have a population of 263.978 distributed in 7 regencies, belong nto the North Sumatra Province.
Settlements occupy the plains, where they practice their daily activities. This area locally inhabited by Batak Toba, Simalungun, Karo and Pakpak ethnics.
Batak traditional houses made of wood, with the shapes of the side walls like a boat hull and masts supported by strong pillars, bound to each other and placed on the stone foundations without cement, are very valuable ‘local wisdom’.
According to the geological conditions Samosir is highly risks of tectonic earthquake, subsidence and flooding.
The local economy is based largely on farming, fishing, and the raising of livestock, as well as tourism. Indeed, the vast natural amphitheater around Lake Toba is a farmer’s paradise. Terraces of emerald-green rice paddies rise high above the lake.
Coffee, fruit, and spices thrive alongside lush vegetable gardens growing in the rich, dark volcanic soil. Fishermen in their wooden canoes harvest their bounty from the cool, clear waters of the lake.

NINNA.ID-There are several ways to get from Kualanamu Airport to Samosir Island. But the cheapest one Ninna recommended using a taxi to Kualanamu Airport. There are several taxis served or available at Kualanamu Airport.
The cost to get into a taxi is IDR 150.000 per person. The taxi can load 6 people including the driver. It means for 5 people IDR 750.000.
But just say there are only 1-2 people that are ready to go to Samosir Island. You will need another passenger until it loads 5 passengers from Kualanamu Airport to Samosir Island.
Otherwise, you can book one taxi that cost IDR 900.000. If only 2 people that ready to go and you agree to share IDR 900.000 for both of you. Each of you costs IDR 450.000.
The distance between Kualanamu to Samosir Island is 120-130 km.
It takes approximately 4 hour and half to 5 hours to get from Kualanamu Airport (KNO) to Samosir Island, including transfers from Ajibata or Tigaraja Harbour crossing the lake to Samosir Island.
There is also another way, from Kualanamu Airport to Samosir Island from Tigaras Harbour. It will be faster or short way rather than from Ajibata or Tigaraja. You will arrive in Simanindo Harbour using Ferry or boat from Tigaras.
For transferring from Ajibata/Tigaraja or Tigaras Harbour crossing the lake to Samosir Island as usual the passengers using small boats for faster. It takes 30 minutes to cross the Lake Toba to the island. The cost of IDR 25.000 per person.
Take Break
As usual, on the way to Tigaraja/Ajibata, the taxi driver will stop in one shuttle stop because they need to take a break for a while in Siantar, depending on the situation.
It is just normal for a long journey the driver and passangers must take a break. But we do not have any obligation to give meals or pay for the driver meal’s because as usual, the driver is responsible for his meal.
As usual, foreigners concentrate located in TukTuk. But, so many homestays, and hotels around Simanindo.
You can ask the tourist information centre which homestay or hotels has staff that speak English so you can do all things you want easily.
But if you have difficulty on how to communicate with the hotel staff or the owner of the homestay, feel free to call the Tourist Information Centre telephone number.
Car Rental to Samosir
If you want to have more space and privacy, you can rent a car to Samosir. But you need to do research first to find the best company for you. Or you can order the car when you arrive in Kualanamu Airport.
The comparison. It must be cheaper using a taxi rather than rent a car. If we rent a car, it will cost more expensive. A day for rent is around IDR 350.000+ the wage of the driver is IDR 300.000+ fuel maybe cost IDR 200.000 + the driver might be asking us for cigarettes and food/meals every day if he follows us to Lake Toba.
It will cost more than IDR 1.000.000/day. We also must give a down payment to the owner of the company by transferring before the driver picks you up. So, which do you prefer? Using using taxi or rent a car?
