Everything published on Mentawai Surf Holiday goes out under one name: the Mentawai Surf Holiday Editorial Desk. That is a working group, not a person, and the page you are reading now exists to say so plainly rather than to introduce anybody.
Where this site concentrates
The work here concentrates on activities on the ground, park access and conservation rules, when to go and boat and yacht charters. Keeping to that range is what makes it possible to notice when something changes.
How we handle what we have not confirmed
Fees, permits and timetables in Indonesia are revised more often than most visitors expect. When a figure here has been checked against the office that sets it, we say where it came from. When it has not, we mark it unconfirmed and leave it that way until it can be checked.
Claims we do not make
No one here is presented as an expert, a licence holder or a veteran of anything, since we have no records to show for such descriptions. What we can offer is background reading. Decisions that turn on your own case belong with the body that will decide them.
If a page no longer matches what you were told officially, let us know and we will change it. You can reach the desk through our contact page.
