Explore Samosir Island In Lake Toba Thousands Memories

Ever imagined how to get around Samosir Island which is located in the middle of Lake Toba with only Rp. 100 thousand? If you rent a vehicle or motorcycle, of course the rate is more than that. Not to mention if you want to stop by attractions to just enjoy the natural scenery and of course selfie fun. The costs incurred are certainly more than Rp. 100 thousand.

But now tourists can go around Samosir Island with Rp. 100,000. The Samosir Regency government prepares mass transportation in the form of two tourist bus units that will take visitors around Samosir Island. The tariff is Rp. 100 thousand. On the other hand, to explore whole those places, much better you can contact Medan travel agency who will arrange the tour itynerary completely.

This price includes the entrance ticket to a tourist attraction," said Deputy Regent of Samosir, Juang Sinaga, during the inauguration of the tourism bus belonging to the Tobasa Regency Government by the Minister of Tourism Arief Yahya,

 Juang Sinaga explained that the tourism bus route around Samosir Island originated from Onan Baru Market, Pangururan. Tourists will then be invited to the Aek Rangat bath, then to Batu Hobon, Sopo Guru Tatea Bulan, to the Geopark Toba Building. Next is the tourism bus to Sipitu Dai, Tele View Tower, Efrata Waterfall, and Holbung Hill, before finally returning to Onan Baru Market.

The number of points of tourist destination that are intended does not mean tourists must hurry to move from one point to the next. Travelers are free to choose where they go and where they will go down and decide to spend more time there. When it's finished, the next tourist bus will arrive 2 hours later to take it to the next tourist attraction.

Juang Sinaga ensures tourists do not need to pay when riding a tourist bus that is different from the bus when they depart. "Just show the ticket purchased at the beginning," said Juang. This tourism bus is held to facilitate the mobility of tourists on Samosir Island.

We are aware that there are several tourist attractions here that have limited access, even though the tourism potential is very good."

The head of the Samosir Tourism Office, Ombang Siboro added, besides the tourist destinations that were the destination of the bus, visitors could enjoy several other places to be passed by the bus, such as Lagundi and Narunggu.

Aek na Tonang and beaches in the Nainggolan area. With this tourism bus, the government hopes that the number of tourist visits to Samosir Island will increase and will be able to increase local revenue.
