Sumatra Holidays

The archetypal Indonesian island, Sumatra and its landscape is epic in both scale and grandeur. Indonesia’s largest island has been crafted by mother nature, volcanic peaks and yawning craters riddle the interior and the rich soil supports an unparalleled variety and diversity of life – all of which can be experienced on our Sumatra holidays. Medan, in the north of Sumatra, is the main entry point to the island. Although a visit to this island is mostly about the wildlife and scenery, here visit the opulent Maimoon Palace built in 1888 and the Great Mosque built in 1906. Leaving civilisation behind, drive to Bukit Lawang in the heart of the Sumatra rainforest and explore the jungle, oil-palm, rubber and cacao plantations. If lucky, see a Sumatran elephant, meet the rare Sumatran Orang-utan, then marvel at the remote villages on volcanic Samosir Island.
