Kuda Laut
Kuda Laut is a Mentawai Surf Charter vessel to the World Famous Mentawai Islands and Beyond. She’s one of the only original boats left from the pioneering days up here and one of the best value for money trips going. The Kuda Laut has been doing charters to the Mentawais, Telos, Nias and Banyak Islands for over 25 seasons – so we know how to find the best waves with the least crowds in Sumatra, from the Lagundry Bay in Nias, the Hinakos, to the Bay of Plenty in the Banyaks, to the Telos long rights, also the famous waves in the Mentawais, such as Rifles, No Kandui, Ebay, etc in the Playground, to Telescopes, Bintang, Lances Right, Lances Left, Maccas, Rags, Thunders, Green Bush, Mcfrights and much, much more!!!
She is the perfect charter boat for smaller groups with a friendly and helpful crew that will provide you with a great atmosphere during the trip. Our Chef Anto will satisfy you with delicious Indonesian and Western food. You also get free beers, soft drinks, juices, tea and coffee to refresh you after chasing the waves and getting barreled.
