at the airport and if necessary assist you in getting
a visa.Your bags will be loaded into vans and you will

until the transfer to the harbour at around 7 pm.The ferry

departure, (every Monday), we will also assist you at
the airport and transfer you to your hotel, booked at
your own cost.
Day 2 - Arrival on Siloinak
Island
The ferry offers basic cabins of four to six bunks.This
is, however, the most comfortable way to travel the 130
km (about 10 hours) to the Mentawai Archipelago.The ferry
reaches Siberut Island on the second day of your journey,
at 7 or 8 am.
From the Muara Siberut harbor, our speedboats take you
to Siloinak Island, about a 40-minute boat ride. However,
the departure timetable of the ferry is subject to changes
due to pending major cargo, motor maintenance or weather
conditions. In the event the ferry is grounded, we will
use our speedboats to make the crossover to Siloinak Island.The
trip should take from 5 to 6 hours.The speedboat’s
departure time will vary according to the weather and
sea conditions.We may leave Day 1 at around 11 am and
reach Siloinak at about 4 pm.We may also leave Day 2 at
5 am.You will then spend the first night at the hotel,
either at Padang or at Bungus Beach (a 45 minute drive).
In this case, the cost of accommodation is included in
our price. We will surf in the afternoon of Day 2.

a minimum and adapt the program to their level.Your guide
