Samosir is a popular tourist destination due to its exotic history and the vistas it offers. The tourist resorts are concentrated in the Tuktuk area. The island is the centre of the Batak culture and many of the Toba Batak traditional houses (rumah adat) remain on the island. Most of the tourist accommodations are concentrated in the small town of Tuktuk, which is located a one-hour ferry ride across the lake from the town of Parapat. A car ferry leaves the mainland from Ajibata and lands in the small town of Tomok, about a 10 minute drive from Tuk Tuk. There are also other passenger ferries and individual hotels may also have ferries available.
