The trip: When the passengers arrive in Padang our land crew takes them to a hotel (hotel charges not included) in town with all comforts to rest until the boat disembarks.
The boat leaves from Padang to Mentawai at night depending on tides (weather conditions permitting) and arrives for the first waves at dawn the next morning.
The following days the boat goes around the islands to find the best conditions and guests can surf as much as they want in each spot.
At night, the boat either stays in quiet locations for sleeping or sails to other areas so as to maximise daylight hours for surfing.
Of course, it’s not only surfing that’s on offer: guests can fish, snorkel, visit the islands or just relax.
We sail back to Padang during last night of the trip so we arrive to the port early morning. Guests can stay onboard until the land crew takes them to the airport for their flights unless they want to go and rest at a hotel (hotel charges not included).
