Most travelers start their journey in Padang, West Sumatra, and then take a ferry or speedboat to the Mentawai Islands. Ferries are a more budget-friendly option, though they take longer (often 10–12 hours). Speedboats offer a faster trip (around 3–4 hours) but can be more expensive. Flights to smaller airports in the region may also be available seasonally. We recommend confirming schedules in advance, as boats do not always run daily.
Visa requirements vary by nationality. Many visitors can receive a Visa on Arrival (VOA) valid for 30 days, or they may qualify for a free visa if traveling short-term. For the Mentawai Islands specifically, no special permit is typically required unless you plan to conduct research or specialized activities. Always check the latest regulations with your local Indonesian embassy or consulate.
While Mentawai offers quality waves year-round, peak surf conditions usually span April to October, with the largest swells between June and September. These months are ideal for advanced surfers seeking bigger, more consistent waves. If you prefer fewer crowds and slightly calmer surf, consider booking your trip during the shoulder months (March or November).
Generally, yes. The Mentawai Islands are known for friendly locals and welcoming communities. However, because many villages are remote, we recommend traveling with reputable local guides who understand cultural customs and can ensure safe navigation. Be sure to carry adequate travel insurance in case of medical emergencies or unexpected changes.
Each package differs slightly, but most include:
Check each package description or contact us directly for specific inclusions and any optional add-ons.
We offer flexible itineraries to suit different interests—surfing, cultural immersion, photography, fishing, or purely relaxing on the beach. During the booking process, share your preferences, travel dates, and group size. Our team will craft a personalized itinerary that fits your schedule and ensures you experience the best of Mentawai.
Plan for tropical conditions! We recommend:
Medical facilities are limited and primarily located in the main towns (e.g., in Siberut). For serious cases, evacuation to Padang or another larger city is usually required. We highly recommend comprehensive travel insurance (including emergency evacuation) and bringing all necessary medications with you, as they may not be readily available in remote areas.
