Surfing Families the New Wave in the Mentawais
For the first time in the Mentawais surfers can book a combination of a week ashore and a week on a live-aboard. Surfers can book as singles, couples families or groups and they can mix and match and change dates even while they are out in the islands. You can customize your vacation exactly the way they want it. Everything can be arranged on-line including your deposit and final payment and our resort based packages have no minimum number to confirm a booking. The key ingredient in the m e n t a w a i : : f u s i o n ™ packages is Island Aid's* new live-aboard aid support ship Lautan Megah.
HTs or Lance's Right Lance's HTs Lodge, Katiet KM Lautan Megah
"Lautan Megah" or "Great Ocean" is much larger than the conventional surf charter boats on offer in the Mentawais. She is 100 tons and 100 ft of solid GRP and Yanmar factory engineering, yet she uses less fuel than most boats half her size. Lautan Megah's schedule connects with Tiger Airways Tuesday flight from Singapore to Padang both inbound and outbound and she crosses the 100 mile wide Mentawai Straits overnight so no surf time is lost.
"Families are going to love being aboard this little ship. She feels so stable and safe and the crossing is now a highlight of the trip.... she is a great party boat and yet you would never know once you are below in your cabin". Lautan Megah runs a door-to-door service so there is no mucking round with punishing speedboat rides and domestic carriers.
"We have priced these m e n t a w a i : : f u s i o n ™ packages below the luxury charter boat trips so that families can afford to visit the Mentawais for the first time"
* 50% of the net revenue from surfers traveling on Lautan Megah is donated to Island Aid: www.island-aid.org
