Program
Day
1 - Arrival in Padang
A
Mentawai Adventure staff member will welcome you at
the airport. Your
bags will be loaded into vans and you will be escorted in
Padang town until the transfer to the harbour at around
7 pm. The ferry to the Mentawai Islands leaves between
8 and 11 pm for a full night’s
crossing. Meanwhile, we will visit
Padang’s
market.
If
you arrive several days before the surf group’s
departure, (every
Monday), we will also assist you at the airport and
transfer you to your hotel,
booked at your own cost.
Day
2 - Arrival on Siloinak Island
The
ferry offers basic cabins of four to six bunks. This is,
however, the most
comfortable way to travel the 130 km (about 10
hours) to the Mentawai Archipelago. The ferry reaches
Siberut Island on the
morning of the second day of our journey..From the Muara
Siberut harbour, our speedboats take you to Siloinak
However, the departure timetable of the ferry is subject
to changes due to pending
major cargo, motor maintenance or weather
conditions. In the event the ferry is grounded, we will
use our speedboats to make
the crossover to Siloinak Island.
The
trip should take from 5 to 6 hours. The speedboat’s
departure time will vary
according to the weather and sea conditions.
We may leave Day 1 at around 11 am and reach Siloinak
at about 4 pm. We may also leave Day 2 at 5 am. You
will
then spend the first night at the hotel, at Bungus Beach
(a 45 minute drive).
In this case, the cost of accommodation is included
in our price.
Day
3 to Day 8 - Surf at Siloinak Island (7 days)
Wake
up, a good breakfast and your speedboat leaves around 8
a.m for a full day of surf.
Your guide will choose the best spots according
to the prevailing conditions. You will reach them after
a 10 to 30 minute-sail. Our
speedboats, equipped with powerful outboard
engines, offer an incredible flexibility in the choice of
waves.
Day
9 - Back to Padang
After
breakfast,
transfer to Muara Siberut. The ferry leaves between
8 and 10 pm. In case there is no ferry, departure by

case, the night’s accommodation in Padang or Bungus is
included in the price.
