Highlight of Holiday!

Me and my family visited mount Sibayak with the North Sumatran Local Guides team (local-guides dot org) as part of our 9D8N Sumatra tour. It was TRUELY AWESOME! The volcano hike was probably the most memorable experience I’ve had in my trip to Sumatra. The guys are really fun and easy-going and provide interesting details about the area and show places you wouldn’t find without a local. Usually I like to explore places on my own, but this time I’m really glad I did it with Local Guides; it was actually cheaper to do this tour through them than to do it by myself – let alone much less stress and so much more exciting and authentic! Sibayak itself is a surreal place, a trail through the mangroves, stunning views, and smoking volcano. If you plan to visit Berastagi or North Sumatra in general, I advice you to at least consider the beautiful North Sumatra tours of Local Guides, even if you usually never do guided tours, because they are wonderful, very authentic, and very affordable!
