The Mentawai Islands are home to a number of wonders. Though for me the primary draw of the
Mentawais is surfing, the 70 or so Indonesian islands are also home to twenty
endemic species including the Kloss’s Gibbon, pictured below.
On all sides, the exotic species of the Mentawais are
surrounded by beautiful reef and beach breaks.
The waves are remarkably consistent throughout the year and wave quality
is unsurpassed. There are a small number
of competing surf camps and resorts where surfers from around the world come to
stay. Some of the ‘resorts’ on the
islands are huts on the beach. However
simple the living is though, the average surfer will spend $125/day to stay in
the Mentawais. There are dozens of
well-known breaks around the islands, but it’s the lesser-known spots where
real beauty lies.
