If you’re looking for that something extra from your Mentawai experience, then the Moon Palikir might be the answer. Its one of the largest vessels operating in the region and boast all the mod cons you’d expect inside. As well as social areas inside and out – the sleeping quarters are certainly an upgrade from the standard *dorm style* option of most charters in the area.
The owners are experienced surf guides & are on board for every trip - they know the Mentawai Islands as well as anyone. They take advantage of being on arguably the quickest charter in the area. And with 2 tenders shuttling you to the line-up, you’ll get to the surf quicker and easier than pretty much anyone else in the archipelago.

Trip Information
When booking a trip aboard the Moon Palikir, guests will have the chance to surf either the Mentawai Islands (the whole region) – or further north to the Telo Islands (as well as parts of the Northern Mentawai). If you’re booking a large group then you’ll usually get to choose which region. Smaller groups and single surfers should enquire as to which region the charter will be heading to.
Both regions offer a nice mix of waves, so it’s best to check out our destinations pages where you'll find detailed descriptions of all the surf breaks to get an idea of which region you’d prefer to visit.
* Surf Breaks - Mentawai (Playgrounds)
* Surf Breaks - Telo Islands
Detailed information for all the surf breaks can be found in the destination's section of the site within the Mentawai & Telo pages.

The captain will usually change location during the night, leaving the opportunity for the guests to enjoy most of the day surfing.
