How to get here?

Fly to Padang. Common flight routes are through Kuala Lumpur or Jakarta. If you want to avoid a long stay in Padang it is recommended to fly in the day before and catch the ferry (Mentawai fast) the next morning.

The ferries between Padang and Siberut go on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays. (updated 1/2023).

We recommend to stay in Yani Homestay (very affordable budget option) or Deivan Hotel (nicer facilities for a reasonable price. Private bathrooms, hot running water etc.) Both are centrally located and close to the harbour where the Mentawai Fast leaves from.

the Mentawai Fast to Siberut island. The ferries leave 7.00 am on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays. Price is around Rp.360.000 per pax. Boardbags will cost a little extra depending on the weight. We will be waiting in Siberut to pick you up with our boat. Trip from Siberut to our camp lasts around 2 hours. Once you arrive you can have lunch and go for an afternoon surf.
