Are you looking for an extraordinary surfing adventure? Join this surf holiday to spend your vacation surfing world class waves around the Mentawais and Telo Islands. Relax on the luxurious mixture of deluxe spacious Moon Palikir. Perfect waves, pristine beaches, and a vibrant culture are truly awaiting you. Be part of this moment and enjoy a surfing paradise on your own!
Moon Palikir is the pride of the fleet and with its robust finish, neat layout and facilities it presents the top-tier on the Mentawais surf charter business. With a large external deck, Moon Palikir offers a spacious area for relaxing after that dreamy surf session. The boat interior offers all the comfort you need with air-con main room and cabins. The amount of space and sleeping arrangements is a welcome break from the dorm style accommodation adopted by many vessels operating in the region.
Kicking back after a surf does not get any better. Imagine you and your mates watching the day’s events on wide-screen, guzzling your quota of beer, feasting on a guaranteed seafood diet before chilling out on a beanbag to talk about where to surf the next day. Seafaring capacity does not get much better and that means North Sumatra is with-in reach during your stay on Moon Palikir.
Whether it be a "hot insertion" drop-off by one of the two tender boats into a pumping line-up or trawling for a big fish there is always the comfort of the boat to come back to. The nippy tender boats are also on standby to assist surfers in case they require any help or even just a board/beer-change.
One of the most consistent surf destinations in the world.
The Mentawai archipelago is located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, approximately 100 miles from the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The high season goes from March to October and that’s when you have higher chances of getting long period/powerful swells, but that doesn’t mean that the ‘off-season’ has no waves. Being one of the most consistent regions in Sumatra, you can basically surf there all year long.
The islands chain consist of 4 main islands: Siberut, Sipora, North Pagai and South Pagai, which are surrounded by many others small islands in a stunning area rich in nature and beautiful beaches.
During the trip we sail in search of the best waves according to weather and forecast conditions, sparing no efforts to get you to the best surf spot on a daily basis.

Although surfing is the main activity, there are many others things to do during the trip. The Mentawai archipelago is one of the most stunning locations on earth, most of the Islands have beautiful white sand beaches and coconut trees, surrounded by crystal clear waters, live coral reefs, and a large variety of marine life offering that perfect set-up a snorkeling or just lie down and relax between the surf sessions.
The boats are stocked up with recreation equipment to make the most of this adventurous place to visit. Exploring and enjoying the local nature is a must to do for all guest. The boats have all the toys from snorkeling gear, stand up paddleboards, and few paraphernalia for stretching and warming up. In addition, there is a lot of local handcraft shopping to do with the natives and village visits around the islands.
When the boats are not chasing waves, there are plenty opportunities for relax on board cruising along the islands through breathtaking anchorages. Having your “happy hour” at sunset on the deck, sharing a few drinks with friends, or just chilling, you will have an authentic Indonesia adventure.
