Surfing Highlights
West Papua
The surf in West Papua has lots of good quality and potential, although it isn’t on the same level as the Mentawai Islands and rarely receives a big swell. Instead, you will find yourself discovering new waves and surfing rarely visited left and righthand reef setups.
Miller’s Right
Sumba
Located in Tarimbang this is probably Sumba’s most ridden wave. The fast, hollow sections on the long righthander split the crowd and there are also softer shoulder sections for surfers of all abilities riding all crafts.
Pero Lefts
Sumba
Highly consistent, this wave holds as big as it gets. Pero Lefts can be excellent as swell is refracted heavily into big bowl sections with ample tube-time.
T-Land
Rote
The main Rote´s wave and one of Indonesia’s longest. Its quality and consistency mean it can be surfed from 2ft to 15ft. It has three sections with different levels of difficulty and is often compared with G-Land.
Suckies
Rote
10 minutes away by boat and named after the village where it is located. A short and good-fun right. Intense, powerful and with nice gaps at low tide. It gets easier to handle at mid and high tide. Not a soul to be seen here either.

The Charter
Welcome aboard the Kudanil Explorer, a 50-metre long luxury expedition vessel that’ll take you diving, surfing and exploring the most magical, uncharted parts of the archipelago. A jacuzzi, spa and 2 chic restaurants are just some of the exclusive areas you’ll discover across the generous 1,000 m2 or 11,000 ft2 of space. Designed with 8 luxurious berths, there’s also more than enough room to accommodate 16 guests. Along your voyage, you’ll have the company of 21 crew who’ll make sure your journey is coupled with nothing less than exceptional comfort. Built as a safety standby vessel, the Kudanil Explorer is engineered with the highest levels of reliability. It’s all about giving you peace of mind as you wander further than anyone else can, into the archipelago’s beautiful unknowns.
Surfing
Search for surf breaks off the beaten track. Nusa Tenggara Timur offers perfect dry season conditions and very accessible waves, away from the surf hubs of Indonesia. You will stop by the hidden breaks of Rote, Savu and other islands en route – enjoy uncrowded waves selected especially for Kudanil Explorers. In West Papua, the breaks are also incredibly uncrowded, the water warm and the stoke incredible. Trips to West Papua aren’t so much about surfing existing waves, but finding new ones. With the Raja Ampat archipelago an endless maze of nearly 1,500 islands, it remains one of the last surfing destinations where this isn’t just a possibility, but a probability.
Other Activities
Whether it's diving, cultural journeys, cruising or surfing, Kudanil Explorer have a full setup for each activity and - on top of the core crew - always bring a dedicated team of experts on board. Kudanil has 3 powerful tender boats and lots of toys (SUPs, Kayaks, ping-pong table, cardio equipment, inflatables, etc) aboard to venture out further, for maximal flexibility and to keep you entertained.
