t Mentawai Surf Camp, our rates include everything you need for a seamless, world-class surf trip — from airport pickup in Padang to your last sunset surf. You’ll stay in A/C beachfront rooms, eat chef-prepared meals by Lora Riska, and surf 25+ waves with expert guides, daily boat trips, Starlink Wi-Fi, and full transfers included.
We also run the best boat fleet in the Mentawais — high-speed fiberglass vessels built by us for comfort, safety, and performance. Our boats carry Starlink internet, can cross the Mentawai Strait in just 3 hours, and are supported by our private dock and service station, allowing us to maintain engines, dock, and launch efficiently. This same system powers both our logistics and our surf expeditions — with care, precision, organization, and preparedness.
Our rates reflect the real cost of doing things properly in a remote paradise — with no shortcuts, full transparency, and genuine value.
What Our Rates Include
Every stay at Mentawai Surf Camp covers far more than just accommodation.
When you book with us, you’re not paying for a bed — you’re investing in a complete surf experience:
- Beachfront A/C ensuite rooms designed for comfort and privacy after long surf sessions.
- All meals prepared by Lora Riska, our Head Chef and Le Cordon Bleu graduate, blending Mentawai flavors with international favorites.
- Daily guided boat trips to 25+ world-class waves (boats included, split by level).
- 4K video analysis of your surf sessions — a crucial part of improving your surfing.
- Starlink Wi-Fi, clean filtered water, and electricity 24/7 powered by our solar system.
- All transfers from Padang to the camp and back, including airport pickup, Padang hotel pre/post ferry, ferry tickets, and private speedboat transfers.
In short, everything is included so that once you arrive, you can focus on surfing, resting, and enjoying the islands.
Why the Price Reflects the Place
Operating in the Mentawai Islands is unlike anywhere else. Every ingredient, every screw, every drop of fuel, and every piece of equipment arrives by boat — often after multiple days of transport and customs.
Despite the logistics, we’ve chosen to keep our camp small, family-run, and sustainable, so that guests experience the Mentawais as they should: uncrowded, personal, and genuine.
Your stay helps fund:
- Fair local wages for our staff and boat crew.
- The ongoing Mentawai Marine boat project, where we build fiberglass boats that replace dugout canoes and protect rainforest trees.
- Community programs like PeiPei Boardriders, mentoring the next generation of Mentawai surfers.
- The maintenance of our fast boats, custom-built here on the islands for safety, speed, and fuel efficiency.
We don’t cut corners, outsource operations, or inflate margins — we simply charge what it takes to run things properly and keep improving.
