Sumatra tours

Authentic Sumatra has been organising customised tours and treks across Sumatra – as well as in Java, Bali and Lombok – since 2010. Please contact us to discuss your requirements so that we can create the perfect personalised circuit for you, which really suits your wishes and expectations.

We work with English and French speaking guides and are committed to employing local guides as much as we can in each area (Mentawai, West Sumatra. North Sumatra, Java, Bali and Lombok).

Come with us and discover Minang country and the small town of Bukittinggi with its traditional market. Visit the Maninjau lake, relax in the Harau valley or take a trip to the magnificent Minangkabau palace of Pagaruyung.

If you fancy a trek, the volcanoes are waiting for you! Discover the Merapi and Singgalang in West Sumatra or the Kerinci, the highest volcano in Indonesia located near Jambi province. Further north are Sibayak and Sinabung. Our experienced local guides are passionate about trekking!
