For those seeking more than just surf, your Tropicsurf guide is onboard to offer a range of exciting diversions. Try stand up paddling, snorkeling or beach-combing a deserted island. Visit a local village for some cultural interaction. Sip sundowners on the beach in time with a sunset. Soak up evening beach BBQs or be thrilled by an endless array of watersports.
Dinner is the pride & joy of the Ratu Motu staff and is certainly a no-holds-barred affair. Whole grilled fresh reef fish, roasted meats, traditional Indonesian banquets, mud crabs, curries, crumbed fish, pasta dishes, a variety of fresh salads including greens, exotic fruits, the list goes on. Lunch too is a sit down affair and scheduled around surfing sessions and activities.
According to your particular wishes, Tropicsurf can arrange specialists to accompany your journey. Expert spa technicians offer a range of western and traditional treatments accompanied by indigenous rejuvenating soothing elements. Indulge in private beachside settings or apres surf massages atop the sunset deck.
Tropicsurf is the nexus between you and the amazing holiday you won’t need to worry about. Once onboard, our guides will manage water safety, crowd minimisation and provide technique coaching. In challenging locations like The Mentawais, some well-placed coaching advice could mean the difference between a trip over the reef and the best wave of your life. Our guides are also experts at escaping the crowds.
April to October is the best time for waves in the Mentawais. However shoulder season months such as November, December and March also offer excellent surf, though with less chance of consistency, it’s typical that Tropicsurfers enjoy secluded lineups and playful shoulders during this time. And whilst renowned for its pumping surf, the Mentawais also features idyllic beaches and crystal clear water if the swell does drop out.
Tropicsurf will have available a full quiver of Firewire surfboards for guest use. Avoid the hassle of travelling with your board by contacting Tropicsurf in advance of your stay to reserve choice of board from our Bali Resort Centres for Four Seasons and COMO; shortboard, fish, hybrid, or longboard. Stand Up Paddleboards are also available.
