In 2009 and 2010 we have adopted a 10 day/10 night or 11 day/11 night schedule. Our 2009 and 2010 schedule can accommodate 16 people for each new group arriving and departing on alternate Saturdays and Tuesdays. The main advantage of our 2009 schedule is the ability to surf the same day that you arrive into Singapore! All trips are available on a first come first served basis. Kandui Resort utilizes a plane-speedboat combo to get you out to the resort from * Padang via *Rokot. If the plane is delayed or not working we use a speedboat for one day transfers from Kandui - Padang and back, or make suitable alternative arrangements to minimize valuable vacation time lost.
* Please note: Padang is the provincial capital of West Sumatra, Indonesia and our departure point out to Kandui. Rokot is located on Sipora Island and is roughly 1 ½ to 2 hours by speedboat from Kandui Resort. It is one of two airports in the Mentawai Islands and the closest one to Kandui.

We will collect a mandatory Mentawai Tax of $40US upon your arrival. This tax is paid to the government to help fund social programs and cover the permits necessary for you to travel and enjoy yourself in the Mentawai Islands.
7. Surf: Once you're at the resort almost everything is taken care of – practically the only thing you need to worry about is what board you should ride, if you are wearing sunblock, or drinking enough water!
We look forward to welcoming you Kandui Resort!

Subscribe to our mailing list (Please Note: You will be redirected back to our "home page" after you hit the "submit" button) The dates you see below are based upon when you need to fly into and out of Padang via Singapore, Kuala Lampur, or Jakarta - the actual number of days/nights at the resort is listed underneath each date.
The dates below are divided into
"Group A" or "Group B"
to coordinate with the transportation schedule
out to Kandui.
Guests in "Group A" will be on an "early - early" schedule meaning they will be on the first flight of the day to Kandui at 1:00 pm but also on the first flight
leaving Kandui at 2:00pm.
Guests in "Group B" will be on a "late-late" schedule meaning they will be on the afternoon flight to Kandui at 3:00pm
but also on the late flight leaving Kandui at 4:00pm.
Both groups spend an equal amount of time at Kandui and which group you are put in will ultimately depend on your flight schedule into Padang.
All trips are handled on a first come first served basis
in regards to availability and transport schedules out to Kandui.
