About

The Melaleuca, renovated on 22/23, is part of the most experienced surf fleet on the Mentawai and Telo Islands. It is led by Portuguese surfers who, for more than 20 years, have been exploring these archipelagos. The most famous face - Gonçalo Ruivo - dedicates himself exclusively to this profession, and has already lost count of the numerous surf trips he accompanied. What will you find? The waves of your life, whatever your surfing level. The motto is: “surf without crowd!” Book your place now!

Dream Waves

The Telo Islands are the holy grail of surfing. With dozens of peaks - some legendary, others secret - perfect waves, empty lineups and ripples of 1-2 m await you.

The Legend

Gonçalo Ruivo, leads a team of surfers with 25 years of activity in the islands of Sumatra, who know the best spots and always look for the waves for your level of surfing

The renovated Melaleuca

Spacious, comfortable and stable, it has 6 cabins with air conditioning, 2 toilets, living and dining rooms, decks for meals and sunbathing, 2 support boats and 8 crew.

Eat and cry for more

On board, all meals are included - Indonesian and Western dishes, without missing natural juices, pancakes, fresh fish in the oven and the coveted shrimp in the strawberry.

Surfing for all levels

With dozens of peaks to choose from, our guides find the best waves for the group. With 2 support boats, you can surf 2–3 peaks in a day, depending on the surfers’ level.

Surf without a watch

Not everyone on board always surfs at the same pace. Here you have total flexibility of schedules: you surf whenever you want, for as long as you want, from sunrise to sunset. No restrictions.

Surf Rota

Telos offers perfect, powerful and consistent waves, with coral reefs, long tubes and clean walls, ideal for various levels, in one of the most iconic surfing destinations in the world.

Activities

services and facilities

Support boats

Melaleuca has two support boats: a larger one, for up to 15 people, and a smaller one, for up to 3. Both perfect for getting to the best surfing and snorkeling spots, or exploring the paradise islands.

Homemade food

Recognized as one of the Mentawai boats with the best meals. Nothing is missing: from natural juices, omelettes and banana pancakes, to Indonesian dishes, fresh fish in the oven, shrimp in strawberries and banana cake. And yet, 30 beers per surfer!

Meals with 360º view

Breakfast, prepared before dawn, is served in the dining room. Lunches and dinners are served on the upper deck, “al fresco”, overlooking the surf, the stunning scenery, or the sunset.

Outdoor areas

On the upper deck, the relaxation and sunbathing area is spacious and inviting, with comfortable mattresses to enjoy the good times outdoors and appreciate the stunning views.

Snorkeling

Throughout the trip, there will be the possibility of snorkeling moments. On board, you will have at your disposal mask, tube and flippers, but if you prefer to use your equipment, you are free to bring it.

Fishing

Fishing in these Indian waters is an experience you won't want to miss. It can be done during the day, but also at night, in a traditional way. If you are lucky and have qualities, there will be fish for dinner.

Photographer on board

If you wish, for an additional fee, it is possible to have a photographer on board throughout the trip to record the best moments.

Starlink

The ship is equipped with Starlink, ensuring a fast and stable internet connection, even in the middle of the ocean and on the remote Mentawai Islands.

Referral service

With more than 20 years of experience and hundreds of trips made, the service has been perfected over time. Today, it is the standard-bearer of hospitality and excellence at Mentawai.
