You better might be wearing your board shorts and have your raincoat/poncho ready in case of bad weather conditions. Step 3: When you arrive at Siberut harbor we will be waiting for you with our fast boat. Keep that in mind when booking your flight tickets. On the way back the ferry departs on the same days and you will arrive in Padang around 6:00 PM depending on sea conditions. Tickets can be bought at the harbour a day before or in the morning of the trip (around 350.000 IDR), surf board bags are charged extra (around 250.000 to 600.000 IDR depending on the weight). So you might need to spend a night or two in Padang. But CAUTION: it only departs Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 7:00 AM in the morning. For that you take the Mentawai Fast ferry (link). Step 2: Next you need to get to Siberut island. To get the local Sim card please go personally to the “Telkomsel graPARI” in Padang, only they can make sure that your phone works properly in Mentawai.
We recommend Telkomsel for the Mentawais since it is the only provider working here. If your mobile phone provider does not work in Indonesia you might want to get a local Sim card.
You might want to get mosquito repellent, ponchos, medicine (for reef cuts), maybe surf wax or reef boots and some local currency for souvenirs or drinks. Step 1.5: Since most of you might spend a night in Padang, book an accommodation in advance and use the time in Padang for last preparations. Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Jakarta are good transition hubs if you are searching for cheap flights. Step 1: First you need to get to the City of Padang, in Sumatra, Indonesia. Getting to Mentawai Islands can be an adventure in itself.
