An absolute blast
I wouldn’t change a single thing!!
Thank you for an incredible experience.
I have only been surfing a few years (worst on the boat!) and had a great time.
Every meal exceeded expectations. I sent several pictures home to my girlfriend to show how well we were eating. Accommodations were very nice. Clean towels, sheets, tooth brush, water bottles all helped make us feel at home.
Daniel is a very experienced guide and was able to help put me into waves that challenged me. He also gave a few tips to help me improve my ability. Some others on the boat hoped for stronger swells, but we always found waves to surf – despite conditions on a couple slower days.
Thank you for maintaining an affordable price point for those of us who probably would not have been able to make the trip on a pricier charter. I will recommend to friends, and hope to come back again. Thank you!
Highly Recommend
Just finished an amazing 9 day surf trip with some awesome mates! The Staff were so beautiful, the Chef was amazing and Daniel our surf guide found us amazing surf that catered to all our levels! An experience we will not forget!
Trip of a Lifetime
The crew on the boat were amazing and took such good care of us. The food was next level?we even had fresh sashimi one night. The guide Daniel found waves for all ability levels, and we scored uncrowded Roxies. Ifve been telling my friends about this adventure.
Fantastic Trip with Great Crew
The trip ran smoothly from start to finish. Daniel found waves for all ability levels. Rama, David, Evan and the crew went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, well fed and looked after. An experience that stays with you and pushes your surfing.
All Facets of the Journey Were Catered For
Pick up at Padang Airport was seamless. The surf guide did an admirable job considering late-season conditions. Food was next level, and the chef deserves high praise. The crew was outstanding, and the return transfers were effortless thanks to diligent ground staff. A great trip, looking forward to a possible Telos trip in 2027.
This trip has been amazing
Daniel did a great job on ensuring we all scored waves. Managed to get Roxies to ourselves on my best surf day ever. The crew were lovely, chef was amazing. A trip to remember!
Ments boat trip was unreal
Lachy and Perfect Wave Travel nailed our Ments boat trip. Boat was comfy, crew were super friendly, food was great, and the surf spots were epic. Everything was organised exactly how we wanted it. Highly recommend Lachy if you want a hassle-free, perfect surf getaway
It was my first Ments trip and this crew made it a perfect 10 out of a perfect 10.
Outstanding service by the crew and an outstanding surf guide. Coming back on this boat, with this crew again. And Lachy was amazing as well.
Best boat trip to the Ments
Best boat trip to the Ments to date. Perfect Wave was very professional and made everything very smooth. The surf guide, Baldo, had wave knowledge of the Ments that was second to none. He knew exactly where to go and when to put us on the best waves with the least crowd factor! The boat crew was great and the food was of a high standard! Overall a 5 star experience onboard the Oasis!
best mentawais trip yet
Amazing trip onboard the Oasis with Perfect Wave. This is my 7th boat trip in the Ments and the best by far. The team knew the conditions so well and got us on the spot every time.
best experience we could ask for
Everything went as planned. Boat crew and surf guide on the Oasis made it the best experience we could ask for.
trip tailored perfectly
Tailored the trip to fit our budget and requirements. Our flights and accommodation in Jakarta were all booked by Billy as well, which was really helpful.
epic mentawais trip on oasis
Waves pumping, Daniel our surf guide was the man, boat crew superb, great food and top service. Perfect Wave helped make it all happen.
epic run of waves and great value
We scored a dream run of waves in late June. Surf guide Daniel was onto everything and called us into great waves. Crew and food were excellent. Great value for money.

Oasis charter in the Ments was a great experience ? staff excellent, food and portions spot on, and we scored awesome waves.
great crew and good times
Great crew, amazing food and good times.
awesome trip with charlie
Awesome trip and Charlie looked after us. I will use Perfect Wave again for sure.
The Oasis was great choice
The staff were terrific and catered to all our needs.big shout out to the chef who consistently knocked up great tucker. Even managed a lamb roast. The serving sizes were more than enough to keep all the belly’s full.
On side note Having “proper” coffee machine aboard was a real treat.
The boat it’s self had all the amenities needed, comfy bed with icy cool air con in the rooms to rest and rejuvenate after surfing
Amazing deck space to lay about or watch the surf while sipping some coldies
The main cabin area had plenty of space for all surfers to watch highlights of the day surfing on the big screen tv. We even had a chance to catch some games of footy due to oasis offering starlink service(great internet connection for 90% off the trip)
The oasis was large and sturdy enough to make both the crossings and easy ride and steamed nicely between breaks during the nights
Our guide Daniel was the man… consistently putting us on the spot in quality and uncrowded waves
I was pleasantly surprised the amount off times we surfed with us the only boat on the spot
I think I can speak for all off the boys I would definitely book again( the banter hasn’t stopped)
If your looking for a well planned and executed surf trip the oasis/ perfect wave are the way to go
Oasis charter in the mentawais was a great experience
Staff were excellent, food and portion size was spot on and we score awesome waves , 5 star recommendation.
Surfing Highlights
Hollow Trees
One of the world’s greatest right barrels, HT’s has been all over the surf mags and videos over the last decade. The main takeoff spot is up the point where most of the waves start barrelling and peel flawlessly down the reef. On larger swells it can be very shifty and hard to read. It can shift more to the end bowl where it can break, reform, then bowl again into the channel. The inside is very shallow and is often referred to as the “surgeon’s table” due to the many reef-cuts doled out to travelling surfers.
Lance’s Left
This left-hander is a consistent and frequently surfed crowd-pleaser. Lance’s Left has the ability to hold big swells and can offer up rippable walls and some little tube sections. It can also handle an onshore wind and still have fun waves. Facing Southwest makes this spot very consistent however its nature become more serious when there’s a large swell running.
Bintangs
A short and hollow right across the channel from Lance’s Left. As the wave approaches the reef, the bottom drops out before barreling towards the channel. When conditions are prime, Bintangs delivers amazing, round barrels and extremely fun, rippable walls. A major advantage of Bintangs is that on the days when the dreaded North wind blows out most spots in the Mentawais, Bintangs is offshore and pumping.
Cobras
A short distance up the reef from Lance’s Left, you will find this intense left-hander. It gets really shallow on the low tide and prefers a bit more water. Due to the shallowness it is normally relatively uncrowded. On a South swell and East wind it is a non-stop barrel from the takeoff all the way to the channel where the wave spits you out. Therefore appropriately named, The Cobra.
Macaronis
One of the most perfect waves in the world. A very hollow wave with many shallow spots. Lefts start from way up the point, then gradually slow down as it approaches the channel. The further up the point you paddle, the faster it barrels when you take off. After the initial barrel ride, this wave offers one of the most rippable walls for any maneuvers you can think of.
Greenbush
One of the most amazing waves to surf in the southern Mentawai region. Macas may be the most predictable and most fun wave to surf, while Greenbush has become known as one of the most mesmerizing and hair raising. The tube is very open and on the correct swell direction all three sections link up and it is very make-able.
Telescopes
It’s hard to beat this wave for its variations of sections. A long left with mutiple deep barrel opportunities, can hold real size. Made famous by the Young Guns 2 movie with Kelly Slater and Co having a load of fun with Indies Trader 4 and a helicopter!
Icelands
The swell magnet for the area, Icelands is a left with many faces. An easy going west peak look fun but the main part of the wave loves the south swell angle produces a solid drop, barrel section and bowls at the end. Can be very heavy on its day.
Scarecrows
Breaks off of an island called Tugat Nusa just south of Telescopes. Great consistent left as exposed to South as well as SW swell. Best on a dropping high tide with the end section named the Curry bowl the pick of the wave for barrel riders.

The Boat
Oasis is a very good-value surf charter boat in Mentawais, able to serve up to 8 to 12 surfers. She is a 80-feet long traditional Indonesian boat and has a 17-foot speedboat with 85HP onboard to get you fast to the surf breaks.
Activities and Food
After a surf, go for a snorkel or pull out a rod to catch some fish. Lots of good meals are just waiting to be caught in the clean blue Indian Ocean that surround the Mentawai Islands. As you journey between waves, the boat will be trolling with lures out to catch fish. Often times you'll pull in Dorados, Onos, Mackerel, Grouper and the occasional Marlin or Sailfish.
Surfing
Best quality waves in the world. The Mentawai Islands and the wider regions expanding up to Nias and further south has one of the best wave fields in the world. Open to all the amazing long period swells generated from the south indian ocean’s roaring 40’s, yet nestled away on the equator with lighter winds and weather systems. This combined for perfect swells, perfect weather and amazing barrels.
