Pulau Samosir Getting there & around

Getting around

Tuk Tuk sprawls a bit, but can be handled on foot or by pedal (bicycles hire for about 25, 000Rp a day). Circumnavigators should rent a motorbike with a full tank of petrol for 65, 000Rp. It takes about nine hours to get around the island, so start early. You will need to fill up along the way.

Regular minibuses run between Tomok and Ambarita (2000Rp), and on to Simanindo (3000Rp) and Pangururan (10, 000Rp). Services dry up after 3pm.
