Fly to Padang
The Mentawai Islands are off the coast of West Sumatra, Indonesia, with Padang (PDG) being the nearest major city. Many airlines, including daily flights from Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Medan, and Bali, can get you to Padang. If you’re flying internationally, Jakarta offers the most frequent flights to Padang.

Overnight Stay in Padang
After arriving in Padang, you’ll need to spend the night as part of your journey to the Mentawais. This overnight stay is not included in your Toro Surfcamp booking. Arrange for a driver from the airport to your hotel (costs between 250k-500k IDR, depending on luggage and negotiation skills).

Fast Ferry from Padang to Siberut (350,000 IDR)

Final Transfer to Toro Surfcamp
Upon arrival in Siberut, we’ll pick you up in a speedboat and bring you to Toro Surfcamp. We’ll also ensure you’re taken back to the ferry for your return trip home.

Important Notes:

Bring cash for the Mentawai Surf Tax (2,000,000 IDR per surfer for 15 days) and any additional expenses, as there are no ATMs on the islands.
Also, bring cash for any souvenirs or refreshments (Bintangs etc.) you might want.
