At the port, our private boat will be waiting for you and will finally take you to the resort.
IMPORTANTLY: Arrival and departure from the resort must coincide with the fast ship that leaves Padang every Monday-Wednesday-Friday at 7 a.m. and arrives at Mentawai 3 hours later, return from Mentawai is the same days at 3 p.m. with arrival in Padang at 6 p.m., fast ship price 60 USD per person each way. Since the fast ship leaves at 7 a.m., clients normally have to arrive in Padang the day before.
