Travel and cancellation insurance are essential for any traveler, as unforeseen circumstances can arise during any trip. Such circumstances can include accidents, medical emergencies, loss of baggage or passports, and trip cancellations or interruptions. Without insurance, travelers may find themselves facing significant financial losses.

Travel insurance provides coverage for such unforeseen events, ensuring that travelers are protected against financial losses that may arise due to these events. Cancellation insurance, in particular, provides coverage for the expenses incurred when a trip is canceled or interrupted due to unforeseen circumstances.

Thus, having travel and cancellation insurance is crucial for travelers as it offers peace of mind and financial protection during their journeys.

We are located in the Mentawai a group of three islands in front of the Indonesia province Sumatera.

To get here requires a little more organisation than to fly into Bali, and so we look at this location as a destination on its own. 

With that being said it is not very complicated to get here as it is it is three steps only.

To simplify your journey to the Mentawai we will give you a easy break down first, before getting into more details and schedules.  

We will start with the first city of arrival within Indonesia: Jakarta or Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur. As this is the hub how to get to Pandang and the Mentawais.

Your trip will look like this:

Jakarta or Kuala Lumpur— (flight) –> Padang City (Sumatera) — (fast ferry) –> Tua Pejat / Mentawais

Once arrived in Tua Pejat we will pick you up from the harbour and bring you to our surf house, which is nearby.
