FEATURED TRIPS 2027
Small groups. Fixed dates. Smooth arrival.
Plan your flights
Arrival day: land in Padang in the morning. Our boat leaves around midday and you’ll be at Hidden Bay by late afternoon.
Departure day: we leave the resort early and reach Padang before noon, in time for afternoon flights.
No overnight in Padang needed (from March 2027). For trips until 28 February 2027, plan a night in Padang before and after: the transfer may run on the public fast boat (if there aren’t enough guests to fill the speedboat), which leaves Padang at 7am and returns in the evening.
Good to know
Featured Trip transfers are operated by trusted local partners contracted by Hidden Bay. The crossing to the Mentawais is an open-ocean journey: our chartered speedboat usually takes 3.5 to 4 hours, but sea and weather conditions can affect travel times. Occasionally, conditions may require us to use alternative transport.
Hidden Bay is not liable for delays or changes caused by weather, sea conditions or government decisions. If they happen, we’ll do everything we can to get you to the resort, or back to Padang, as quickly as possible, and keep you informed every step of the way. We recommend afternoon flights and avoiding tight connections.
Prefer your own dates?
Arrive and depart on any Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday on the public fast boat from Padang to Siberut Island. From there, our private speedboat takes you to the resort in about 1 hour 20 minutes. Minimum stay: 5 nights.
The public boat leaves Padang at 7am and returns at 6pm, so you’ll need a night in Padang before your arrival and another after your departure.
On your own dates the transfer is not included (US$175 per person each way, no government tax) and the surf video package is an extra. Want it all included? Pick a Featured Trip above.
Before you book
What's included in the price?
Your room and all meals: from US$180 per person per night sharing an Ocean Suite, or US$220 in a private room, plus 10% government tax. On January–February Featured Trips and on 2027 early bird bookings, the return transfer from Padang and the surf video package are included too (see the offers above).
Do surfers pay extra?
Yes. Everyone who surfs takes the Surf Pack: US$90 per night plus 10% government tax, with boat sessions to 24+ waves timed to the forecast by our guides. Plus the Mentawai surf tax: US$120 per surfer. Non-surfers pay neither.
How do I pay?
A 30% deposit secures your spot, and the balance is due 30 days before arrival. Card payments carry a 3.5% fee. Prices are in US dollars and the 10% government tax is shown separately on your invoice.
What if I need to cancel?
The deposit is non-refundable. Once your trip is fully paid, payments are non-refundable, but you can move them to a future date.
What surf level do I need?
We welcome surfers of all levels who can already surf on their own. With 24+ waves around us, our guides pick the right spot for you every day.
