what a beautiful true gentleman that guide was,someone you could sit an talk with for hrs

Very cool!. I was planning a trip to Indonesia and Toba is on my list now, along with Flores and Lombok. Biggest eruption in Human History Boom!

14:55 YES this is the most charming village I've ever laid eyes upon haha. My Indonesian husband and I moved here in April last year to live permanently (after dreaming about it for a decade) and still wake up every day in awe. Every day, we get on our little pink scooter and just drive around Tuk Tuk - and every day we say the same thing: how beautiful it is and how we can't believe we get to live here! Roy's Pub is the best little pub in the world - we go there every Friday for acoustic music (sometimes on Saturdays, but that gets a bit rowdier!) And Coffee2Go has lovely coffee and is run by the nicest Batak woman, Lamtiar. Love seeing Tuk Tuk through your eyes - it looks so peaceful! A different story over Christmas and New Year's, when the village is rather chaotic, but still gorgeous. Can't wait to see your next one! Horas!

Wow! I can't believe this place isn't chock-full of tourists. Such a beauty with such affordable prices... A total gem find. Thank you mate. Great video...

I’m watching this video from cold England , I’m so jealous of the heat and view 😢

I haven't watched all of your vids but this is my favourite locale thus far thanks for this and keep up the excellent work.Will you be going for a swim in the lake I am curious as to water temp ,cleanliness and the presence of aquatic nasty creatures like ogopogo

Spectacular. Vibing through the Vibrosphere. Love it.

I love your content. I love the format. I love the simplicity. Thank you.

Of course I watched to the end! I love your vids man! Is nice to see other parts of Indonesia since I didn't leave Bali. You're certainly making me wish I did......ah well, next time!

Toba Lake is so lovely!

You really have talent in making videos STL, another beautiful and informative vlog, Thanks,,

Awesome Sidetrip.

Your vlogs make me want to pack my bag and go. Been to long away from Asia :)

thats amazing place..

I know exactly where I will be going during the peak of the hot season in Thailand, just next door to the gorgeous Lake Toba and the Carolina resort.. Beautiful!!!

Very helpful especially with map and price. Nice job.

Thanks

Paradise! 🤩🤩🤩

Absolutely amazing, I am blown away by this place. Absolutely beautiful, and you've done a great job of showing it. Definitely on my go to list. Think I could easily spend a month in one of those hotel rooms looking at the lake and chilling out. aka JG in TX.

Great stuff STL!

Plenty to explore there 👌 beautiful area - Roy’s Pub and the guesthouse across the road looks like the place to be 😃👋👍🙏

I love this channel and how it relieves me of any negative emotions when I first wake up in the morning. It always puts me in tune for a good day, and it always has me on my phone checking out airline prices.

Great. I'm going to bring my family to toba in october, this vid will be good to show them. Have you considered one on the Jungle at Tangkahan. Thanks

There's a huge map of this lake somewhere there. That was some beautiful map of lake toba. It would be nice to see that again. Lake Toba is also the deepest lake in the world.

All your vids are class. Thanks!

Sumatra is sooo nice. We was in Bukit Lawang , and it was amazing. we did a 2day /orang utan tour

Definitely watched to the end as always, the birdsong is lovely, could just sit and listen for hours and views are STUNNING 😍. Look forward to the next video, thanks for taking us along 👍🏻

Another a Gem, keep traveling and filming, enjoyed this spot, reminds me of when I stayed on Ometepe island in Nicaragua

Always watch until the end, Love ur vids!

What an idyllic location. Thanks for taking us along. Very cool!

Thank you for showing us Tuk Tuk. It's on my bucket list now thanks to you 😊

Absolutely gorgeous place and people. Love it

Fantastic!

What an extraordinary place STL! Thank you for venturing to such out of the way hidden gems for us all to experience with you! You are "The Travel Motivater" !!! ;)

Thanks for video

Excellent

We love your stops and I always watch till the end because the scenery is so beautiful and don't want to miss it.

Beautiful place…..what a great view with the drone….roads weren’t crowded so it looked easy to ride the motorbike, looked like there was plenty to do there…..super video STL!

GREAT JOBS

Even A s Small region in Indonesia have their own gem nature this just little part of NORTH Sumatera in other part west and south Sumatera have different pretty landscape..with different culture and house art..hope YoU can visit ALL Sumatera even just the some little part of ..it..

That heart monitor bird 🐦 must get old quickly 🤔. Superb video though.😀+1

Everywhere you visit always seems awesome and beautiful

Thanks for sharing this video. Linda and I are currently in Jomtien. Always excited to see what you're up to. Quite an interesting option for travel. Can't wait to see more. 🙏

Hello from CA & banyak terima kasha 4 amazing video of Lake Toba! It will be my 1st place to visit when i return 2 Indonesia! Did you meet Carly & Agung? Really clear, sharp vlog from GoPro? 🤟

I think years before the pandemic, Carolina was the no.1 in tripadvisor for place to stay in Tuk-tuk area. And looking at your video, now it's even bigger n better.

Watching this video was such as treat, please share more! 😊😊

i hope you will go to Padang and do a video on Minangkabau culture.. their royal architecture is truly unique and quite spectacular.. you have a good eye for architecture.. those batak motifs on those batak building are almost similar to the indigenous people of Sarawak and Sabah state in malaysia several thousand mile to the east.. i also notice those polygonol stone construction.. i do wonder what connection they have with south America ancient civilisation.. fascinating indeed..

Amazing - plus the $16 bungalow? Damn. I love my cold water but I might be adventurous with that insanely cute cottage. It's not like it's that hot that you deserately need A/C!

have been following your journey. you find such beautiful places to explore, so peaceful and lush. thank you for your great vids. always enjoy. AMAZING

Gorgeous place, watched video to the end and am looking forward to see more of this beautiful island. Happy New Year!

You make great vacation videos 👍

I really like your video and it’s helpful to me.

Hi! Great video, thank You for the amazing work and sharing. Love the vibe! Best regards from snow filled Norway! Brrr…

Absolutely watched to the end! In your previous vid, I thought, "this is really beautiful, but what is there to do?" This vid answered my question. Loved the museum - how fascinating! And the village is so charming with heaps of great places to eat, drink and relax. I think this might be the hidden gem (at least for westerners) that I've been searching for. Thanks so much for sharing ❤️

Great and wonderful place, thanks for your video

Excellent video I'm booking the $16 hilltopper!

Awesome Vid Mate!!

Thanks to Visit my Village , my hometown, please explore other side like Toba (West Side), more worderful place...(Bakkara Valley)

Very stunning and peaceful.....All of your videos of Indonesia are really good. Correction, all of your videos on any destination are always worth watching. Thanks for sharing. I always watch to the end.

Im an Indonesian myself looking for information about Toba Lake and couldn't find one thats as informative as yours. Thankyou for making this video. You're awsome❤

Шикарный обзор, отличные виды! Спасибо!

We stayed at Carolina Cottages about 5 years ago. The rooms up on the hill have the most amazing view, and at certain times of the year, the lack of aircon isnt really a problem. Seems they have done some additions around the place since we stayed there.

I love the tour guides shirt

Wow, just awesome place and content! Was it easy to fly down from BKK, how much/long? Thanks

Wow you finally made it to the most amazing place! I heard about this area from a friend who traveled all over Indonesia about 30 years ago. Not many locations in the world have that other worldly feeling, I loved it there. Is there still a local tribe that only live on the island? I remember seeing them selling artifacts that they made wearing traditional clothes in the local markets. I had a friend who spent many months travelling all over Indonesia about 30 years ago and when he was in Sulawesi spent a month living with a local tribe. He went to the Togian Islands too, had amazing wild life and snorkelling with beautiful coral reefs 😊

Loved it ❤

Proud to be batak

The end. 😊

Hi, love all your videos!! By the way did u went to the teletubbies hill & the hot springs bath? Cant wait for your next video. 😊
