West Sumatra Surf
The islands of Nias and the Mentawai region catch the regular and powerful Indian Ocean swells. Consistent, high quality waves peel off dozens of reefs dotted throughout the region, only reachable by
live-aboard boats
For surf trips, Saranya is equipped
with a 5-metre speedboat to check out breaks quickly and get surfers to reefs
in shallow water.
Tour Packages «
Atoll Travel clients are met personally at Padang Airport and a private van
takes them directly to the boat. Talk with the skipper about your surfing
abilities and the the sort of waves you want to surf, and he will plan the
best itinerary for your needs and the prevailing conditions. Most groups start
with some sessions in the nearby breaks of the Mentawai islands, then move
out to more remote areas, taking advantage of the skipper’s extensive
knowledge of swells, tides and winds.
At the end of the trip, clients are transferred directly from the boat to
the airport, or to on-shore accommodation if they want to do more traveling
or sightseeing around Padang. Atoll Travel packages include airfares via Jakarta
with Singapore Airlines or Garuda, all transfers, 11 nights accommodation
on board, all meals, snorkeling and fishing gear.
