NEW in 2008 - Safe overnight ship maximizes your surf time.
No mater what time your flight arrives in Padang on Tuesdays, you can connect with this new service. Depart Padang early evening and enjoy our full service bar aboard Lautan Megah. Arrive at Eco Bay at dawn in time of a morning session. Surf till sunset and leave Eco Bay after dark. Katiet guests will surf E-Bay area in the morning and then arrive at Hts after lunch for the afternoon session (usually the best conditions) No grueling speedboat rides and wasted hours waiting in airports. A great fit with the new Tiger Air schedule.
