Great days in Sumatra
We spent five unforgettable days with Nusan exploring Indonesia. He took us into the jungle, guided us up a volcano, and showed us the beauty of the Samosir area. Along the way, he shared his knowledge of local villages, culture, and traditions, always with great attention to detail. He was friendly, thoughtful, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable at all times. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine and enriching experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your trust. It's a great joy to read and verify that your time with me was a great experience. It was a real pleasure to guide you and of course I will be happy to welcome you again to guide you to other places in North Sumatera.

One of our best weeks of our live
At the beginning of January we spent one of the best weeks of our lives on Sumatra. Our guide Nusar made it all possible. He organized the whole week for us including hotels etc. - 2 days of jungle trekking, a sunrise hike up the volcano and then a few days on Samosir Island. During this time Nusar accompanied us the whole time, including a driver, and we grew very fond of both of them. We had a lot of fun and incredible experiences and left Sumatra after a week with so many new impressions. Thanks for everything it was amazing!! We can highly recommend Nusar and Sumatra! You will love it! :) Wir haben Anfang Jänner eine unserer besten Wochen unseres Lebens auf Sumatra verbracht. Das Ganze hat uns Nusar unser Guide ermöglicht. Wir haben die gesamte Woche von ihm organisieren lassen - 2 Tage Dschungel Trekking,eine Sonnenaufgangswanderung auf den Vulkan und anschließend noch ein paar Tage auf Samosir. Während dieser Zeit hat uns Nusar immer begleitet inkl. einem Fahrer, beide haben wir in dieser Zeit sehr in unser Herz geschlossen. Wir hatten viel Spaß unglaubliche Erlebnisse und haben Sumatra nach einer Woche mit so vielen neuen Eindrücken verlassen.

Recommend tour guide & reasonable price for exploring North Sumtra
My wife and I booked for 7 Days Tour of North Sumatra (including 2 days 1 night jungle trekking). The experience was amazing and exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Nusan, and his teams were amazing. Very knowledgable, patient and took care of us during the tour. The cook at camp was also lovely. The jungle guide carried up so much fruit and laid it out on the track using banana leaves to serve it all up - all tropical fruits, neatly cut up. We were spoilt. We opted for the sunrise hike in Berastagi, Mount Sibayak an early start and started the walk in the dark. It was a bit cloudy for the sunrise but certainly appreciated the spectacular view and experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your trust. It's a great joy to read and verify that your time with me was a great experience. It was a real pleasure to guide you and of course I will be happy to welcome you again to guide you to other places in North Sumatera.

Unexpected Amazing Adventure
I'm not a very outdoorsy person - when I traveled, I usually stick to the cities, and if there's any nature involved, it would be an easy one. When my friend asked me to join her in this trip, I was a little bit anxious because I didn't know what to expect. It turned out that it had been a head turning, life changing, experience. Starting from the 4-6 hours trekking in the jungle, where we were lucky and met a lot a lot of orang utans, all kinds of birds and primates, and clear waterfalls where we can bathed. We stargazed at night at the riverside in the middle of the jungle. Moving to Berastagi, where we hiked to Mt Sibayak (my first mountain ever!). The trek is beginner level, and the view is amazing! The last few days were in Toba, which was one of the biggest and deepest lake in the world. Toba is breathtaking. The days were bright so we can see the lake turning blue and white, reflecting the sky. Other plus points from the tour: 1. Good itinerary. If you want to see elephant, ask the guide to add another day for Tangkahan. I did the 7D6N tour. 2. The hotels are nice. 3. The guide is super friendly (ask him for local ghost stories).
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your trust. It's a great joy to read and verify that your time with me was a great experience. It was a real pleasure to guide you and of course I will be happy to welcome you again to guide you to other places in North Sumatera.

Explore North Sumatra : 7 Days Tour Adventure Package: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medan.
How much does Explore North Sumatra : 7 Days Tour Adventure Package cost?
+
Prices start at $1,046 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Explore North Sumatra : 7 Days Tour Adventure Package take?
+
Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medan is not rushed.
Is Explore North Sumatra : 7 Days Tour Adventure Package worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Explore North Sumatra : 7 Days Tour Adventure Package?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Explore North Sumatra : 7 Days Tour Adventure Package suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Explore North Sumatra : 7 Days Tour Adventure Package?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medan and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore North Sumatra : 7 Days Tour Adventure Package start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Medan?
+
On Outty we rank every Medan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3-Day Ethical Orangutan Jungle Trek | Bukit Lawang, Sumatra, 2 Days and 1 Night Ethical Jungle Trek, Monkey Business 3 days - 2 nights Jungle trekking (including rafting). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Medan?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Medan?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
