# Tulas Island | A green island in the middle of Lake Toba Lake Toba never seems to run out of ways to amaze the world. Besides the legendary Samosir Island, another exotic spot has recently captured the attention of travelers: Tulas Island. Nicknamed the "Green Jewel," this small, uninhabited island offers a natural panorama so pristine, it seems as if its presence transports us into a fantasy world.

Simultaneously, tourists on [Cheap Medan Packages](https://switourmedan.com/) are also requesting a visit. Hypnotic Natural Charm Tulas Island's main attraction lies in its unique topography. In contrast to the surrounding land, which is dominated by dense forest, Tulas Island is a stretch of hills covered in lush green grasslands. When viewed from a distance or from a height (such as from Holbung Hill), Tulas Island appears like a giant emerald floating serenely on the blue waters of Lake Toba. The contrast between the bright green hills, the deep blue of the lake, and the North Sumatran sky creates a perfect visual composition. Photography and videography enthusiasts participating in the Samosir Tour Package program insist on visiting Tulas Island. This is why Tulas Island is becoming increasingly popular. A Tranquil, Uninhabited Destination One of Tulas Island's unique features is its uninhabited status. This makes it a dream destination for those seeking tranquility or self-healing. Without the hustle and bustle of vehicles or settlements, here you will only hear the sound of the wind rustling the grass and the gentle lapping of Lake Toba's waves. The atmosphere is often compared to the hilly landscapes of New Zealand or "Jurassic Park" due to its well-preserved beauty. Location and Travel Route Tulas Island is administratively located in Sianjur Mula-Mula District, Samosir Regency, North Sumatra. It is located close to the Samosir mainland but separated by water. Therefore, a tour to Samosir Island is ideal if the program includes a visit to this tourist attraction.

From these heights, you can clearly see the entire curve of the island. Water Access (Visiting the Island): To reach Tulas Island directly, you'll need to rent a small motorboat or boat. These can usually be found from nearby villages (such as the small harbor in Siboro Village). This short water journey will provide fresh air and views of Samosir's majestic cliffs. Possible Activities Although small and lacking modern facilities, there's plenty to enjoy: Landscape & Drone Photography: This island is a haven for drone pilots. The island's aesthetically pleasing shape is especially beautiful from an aerial perspective. Light Trekking: You can climb the small hills on the island for a 360-degree view of Lake Toba. Boat Tour: Tour the island by boat while admiring the green cliffs that drop directly into the water.
