    Overall trip was great,good mix of hiking, seeing animals & experiencing local culture. Would like another 2 days in Lake Toba so we could relax and see more of the area. The transport could have been better as the long journeys were cramped. More options for food would have been good especially so the vegetarians and vegans could have had more choice

    We really enjoyed this trip. It was a perfect mix of adventurous activities with options to do more or less depending on what you felt like. The places visited were really unique and all the food was fantastic. Good local hotels/guest houses were chosen for this trip.

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Can you give us an indication of the costs for the transfer to the hotel and to the airport on the last day? We would need leave on the 20th relatively early, in order to be at the airport around 8am.

    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      Airport transfers arrival would be EUR 36 and departure would also be EUR 36 and that is for a private vehicle accommodating 2 travelers.

    Jackie

    Asked on January 28th, 2025

    We're interested in booking the 10 day Sumatra Discovery tour in May but wondered whether there's a possibility of adding on a short additional tour out of Medan either before or after the main tour starts. Do you have any suggestions?

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      While we're unable to assist with organizing additional day tours out of Medan, you're welcome to arrange these independently. However, please note that during the Sumatra Adventure trip itself, there likely won't be sufficient time to include a day trip due to the tour's itinerary and schedule. Therefore, to explore additional tours, we recommend planning them either by arriving in Medan earlier than your trip's start date or staying on after your trip concludes.

  • D

    Donald

    Asked on September 11th, 2024

    I would like you to design and organize a trip for January 2025 to Sumatra, including destinations such as Mentawai Island, Bukittinggi, and the Aral Valley. Please create an itinerary where I can stay for several days in the same location, rather than moving from place to place every day. I would like the trip to include activities such as trekking, diving, and other physical, body-centered experiences.

    Travel Support
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten September 2024
