Ferry
via Padang

Recommended
Fly to Padang (PDG)
Minangkabau International Airport is the gateway to the Mentawai Islands. Connections from Jakarta, Bali, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore. Visa on Arrival available for most nationalities.
Airlines: Garuda Indonesia, Citilink, Batik Air, AirAsia, Lion Air — depending on your origin city.
🏨
Spend the night in Padang
The Mentawai Fast Ferry departs early in the morning, so all guests need to sleep in Padang the night before. Padang has good options at every level.
We can arrange a driver from the airport to the ferry port the next morning — ask us when you book.
Board the Mentawai Fast Ferry
The ferry departs from Muara Port (Pelabuhan Muaro), Padang, and arrives at Tuapejat on Sipora Island in approximately 3.5 hours. Surfboards are welcome and charged by weight. Buy your ticket at the port — the day before is best to avoid queuing on departure morning.

Always arrive in Padang the night before. The 7:00 AM departures leave early — there is no way to arrive, sleep, and board the same morning. Build buffer days at both ends of your trip. Ferries cancel due to weather with little notice. Monitor @mentawaifast on Instagram for real-time updates.

Return journey: The ferry returns to Padang at 15:00 on the same operating days. Sleep in Padang that night and fly home the next morning. Ticket price is approximately 400,000 IDR (~$25 USD) one-way.
