We start with a short hike, it climbs and at times the terrain is uneven, walking shoes are mandatory, but we go at our own pace. We leave early enough not to miss the sunrise. All along, you will have explanations about Mount Sinayak and Anggi takes the time to answer all the questions. Arrive at the top, a short break for a tea or coffee and then we let the magic happen. We finish with a moment of relaxation in the hot springs, going from pool to pool. Kindness and benevolence are the key words, this goes for all the people who accompanied me during this day. Anggi, my guide, a mountain and nature enthusiast who only has one desire, to make you discover this magical place, Konong and Hendra two surprise guests who do not lack humor and exude the joy of living, and to finish Riski my driver. I recommend with my eyes closed. I loved it.

5 out of 5 stars

Amazing experience 🤩 I was the only one on the tour, so I had the guide for myself. The guide had so much knowledge about, this mountain, this area, and other volcanoes in Indonesia. He was really good at English, and has a great spirit 😄 The sunrise was beautiful, but it was really cold on the top of the mountain, so remember to bring a jacket. I will for sure recommend this trip 🤩

5 out of 5 stars

Anton was an excellent guide - really friendly personality and provided lots of information throughout the trip. It’s a whistle stop tour, which suited me as I was short on time. If you want to explore more of the Lake Toba area, you’d be better doing an overnight visit. For what I needed to fit with my schedule, this was great.

5 out of 5 stars

It was a very nice trip, the guide/driver picked me up exactly on time, the journey there was OK, a great opportunity to learn a bit about the local culture and life, followed by a plentiful lunch in a local restaurant.

5 out of 5 stars

The tour allows you to witness the region's stunning natural landscapes. Rajiv was an exceptional guide, always attentive and friendly. Despite the chaotic traffic, he drove safely and without any issues.
