| The Mentawais lie approximately 150km off the coast of West Sumatra. The gateway to the islands is only via the city of Padang. |

Daily flights from Kuala Lumpur or Jakarta serve as your best option of arrival. All domestic airlines accept surfboards.

Once you've landed in Padang - all you have to do is get to Bungus Port where a mentawai
surfcamp rep' will be waiting for you! Our rep will escort you, your boards and luggage into the ferry and cabin, from here on you are in surf holiday mode. Its that simple. We advise flying into Padang by noon on arrival giving you plenty of time to get to the port. On arrival in Padang you'll find plenty of taxis that can either take you direct to the port, or if you're nice and early - somewhere else to relax during the day (please ask for more info!). On arrival In Siberut, again, you will be greeted by one of our team to take you on the final leg to the camp. |
