2025 Simanindo Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

Tuktuk Siadong is a small village is located in a small cape in Samosir Island. I arrived in Samosir Island at noon. After checking in Hotel Tuk-Tuk Timbul, I decide to explore Tuk-Tuk on foot since I had no other means of transport. It was about 2 km from my hotel. There were many hotels in Tuk-Tuk. Some of the hotels facing Lake Toba had private beach and nice views of the lake. Sadly I think most of the hotels did not have many guests and some even seemed deserted. I had late lunch at Maruba Restaurant and I was the only customer there after the previous customers left. I ordered beer battled fish & chips and tamarillo juice. Food was good. I also bought some souvenirs at few of the souvenir shops in Tuk-Tuk. Many shops sell wooden sculptures of batak houses. Do get some keychains of batak houses for your loved ones when you are there! #laketoba #samosir #tuktuk #lake #batak
