From the first email sent to dropping us back to the airport nothing was too hard for these guys. The lodgings were super clean and comfortable. The food was next level ,always plenty and lots of variety. If you like Italian then you won’t be disappointed. The staff are friendly and hospitable. Now too the most important part of the trip..... Surf was fantastic and we had lots of uncrowded surfs all day . Would recommend in a heartbeat best land camp I’ve ever been too.

We went to the place Tuk Tuk to a very nice guesthouse named Romlan. The ferry brings you to their doorstep. The climate is very nice and the the view very relaxing. You can also rent a scooter to see the island. Loved it. Tip: the ferry leaves from Parapat (tiga raja harbour) to Tuk tuk. On the way back we thought it would be nice to stay one night in Parapat near the harbour. But accomodations are very bad and pricy.so not recommended. We landed on Medan airport. You can take a shared taxi which is okay priced. Later we found out air asia also has a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Silangit which is closer to Lake Toba. From Silangit there is a Damri bus to Parapat (tiga raja harbour) And from there you can take the ferry to Tuk tuk.

My girlfriend and I visited Mount Kerinci during February of 2019. Our guide was Endatno Een. He was mentioned on the tripadvisor page multiple times and came highly recommended. And rightfully so. Afer contacting Endatno he basically managed our entire trip for us by giving us advice on how to reach Kerinci, where to stay and so on. We were quite worried about the weather back then as we had heard that weather conditions during that time of year are often not perfect and the weather can change quite fast. Endatno gave us a realistic assessment of the situation though and encouraged us to do the hike even though we might get wet. For that we are grateful because the hike itself was amazing even though we did get wet (like extremely wet) on the way down. The reason why the hike was so great for us was the vegetation that changed with each stage of the mountain, the chance to see some rare animals as well as the specacular view from the summit area. When the sky cleared you were able to see the Kerinci valley other mountain areas and even the ocean at the horizon. The hike itself was not extremely easy but definetly manageable as we are not experienced hikers and only somewhat sporty. It was important to have Endatno though as he and his colleague carried the supplies and the tent and you definetly need a guide for directions. All in all the hike on Mount Kerinci made for an unforgettable experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great experience off the beaten track to give it a try. And give Endatno a call. With him you got the right guide! Cheers.

The rocks there is so amazingly huge and with the combination of soft white sand, you can just use your barefoot to walk the area and climb some of the rocks for the best pictures, the area is clean and crystal clear water.
6. Lengkuas Island
Overall Ratings

Lengkuas Island located in the waters of the Belitung Island, and is about 30 minutes away by boat from Tanjung Kelayang beach or Tanjung Binga in District Sijuk, Belitung.In Lengkuas Island there is Lighthouse, built by Dutch colonial in 1882 and still actively working for marine navigation. Visitors must wash feet with fresh water before entering the lighthouse buildings constructed of steel, because the sea water can cause rust on the building. From the lighthouse, you can see beauty of the white sandy beaches on the island with giant granite rocks and clear sea water greenish.

Snorkeling on Lengkuas Island is an activity I did to see the beauty of the corals when I visited there a few days ago. besides that I feel happy when I drink a fresh coconut while looking at the view of the blue sea and the unique cluster of granite stones.

We travelled with Trailfinders. The organisation was superb. We had a guide for our 3-day stay called Gandar who was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. A ranger called Ayub was assigned for the Orang Utan trek; frankly he was a genius, we saw eight including one very close encounter. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend any aspect.

It was a story that Pahawang Island is great place to visit. Then, when I had a chance to accompany students from SMAK IPEKA Palembang to visit Pahawang Island in Lampung, Pahawang is truly exciting. Our one-day-trip to Pahawang was really extraordinary. Moreover, all the students were really excited to join all activities during the trip. The guide helped us to enjoy the trip.
