Trip Information
When booking a trip aboard the Kaimana 2, 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).
For the tube hungry, we'd recommend sticking to the Mentawai islands that boasts the widest selection of world class waves. For a few more user-friendly options, we'd suggest North Mentawai to Telos (No fuel surcharge!).
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.
Detailed information for all the surf breaks can be found in the destination's section of the site within the Mentawai & Telo pages.

Despite some tricky conditions with some south winds, the team still delivered us to great waves just about every day. Totally surfed out and totally stoked. First class service, great food and friendly faces. Terima Kasih! Casey
