Fly Sama Sama — Premium Charters to Paradise (click here for direct link) offers exclusive charter flights from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia straight to the Mentawai Islands with a one-of-a-kind convenience built in — a 45-minute immigration stopover in Padang.
At Mentawai Surf Camp, we don’t inflate margins or hide costs inside logistics.
When a travel option genuinely reduces time, complexity, and expense, we pass that benefit straight back to you.
That’s why guests arriving via Fly Sama Sama receive:
- AUD 255 off their total package, and
- The equivalent of two extra days not wasted in Padang
Less travelling.
Less spending.
More time where you actually came to be — the Mentawais.
What You’re Really Saving (Beyond the AUD 255)
Traditional Mentawai travel almost always means:
- 1–2 nights in Padang
- Multiple taxis and hotel check-ins
- Long public ferries or speedboat crossings
- Entire days lost to transit
Using this charter route, you avoid:
- Two Padang hotel nights
- Padang taxis and logistics
- Long ferry crossings of 3.5 to 7–8 hours
- Extra meals, waiting time, and fatigue
Instead, your sea transfers are reduced to just 1–1.5 hours per leg.
That’s not just convenience — it’s real savings in time and money, plus more usable days in the Mentawais.
Kuala Lumpur ↔ Mentawai — One Clean Connection
This service connects Kuala Lumpur (KL) directly with the Mentawai Islands, using Padang only for immigration.
