Answer: Rescheduling and Booking Your Trip at Mentawai Surf Camp

  1. Flexible Rescheduling: You can change your trip dates free of charge, provided you shift your starting date to a Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday. This is subject to availability and requires that you make your request via email without conflicting with other bookings. You can purchase a Priority Pass to guarantee flexibility in your booking
  2. Booking Your Preferred Dates: Feel free to email us with the dates you wish to visit. You can also inquire about joining an already booked trip. Please note, trips can start on any day except Sundays. For the smoothest journey, we recommend starting your trip on a Thursday, which aligns with the fastest ferry schedule to the camp.
  3. Minimum Group Size: Our trips are designed to be flexible and accommodating, requiring a minimum of just one person to commence.
  4. Confirming Your Trip: To secure your spot, full payment should be made 30 days before your trip begins. This ensures that your travel dates are locked in.
  5. Contact Us for Customization: For any requests regarding your trip, including dates and flexibility, please reach out to us via email. We’re here to help tailor your experience to your preferences.
