Waves

There are plenty of waves in the Telos islands with some fairly isolated and not well known, so for the opportunity of surfing in tropical solitude with just your mates a Telos 101 trip could be it for you.

Unlike the Mentawais where there is a high percentage of lefts, Telos offers an equal number of lefts & rights catering for all standards from world class barrels to fun deep water shoulders.  There are a number of breaks easily accessible to Telos 101 that work on a range of swell sizes and wind direction so there is generally somewhere to suit everyone; let Telos 101 cater to your needs and make your dream wave a reality.

Resort Boats

The Telos 101 boats are used daily to ferry you to and from these breaks you’ve dreamed about, as well as getting you to and from the Telos Islands airport.  

The 11.5 metre Sifika Gaya and 8.5 metre Sifika Express were custom built in Jakarta by Kahajaya Marine which is managed by a New Zealand boat builder.  Both boats are fitted out with all the safety requirements of a commercial operator in Australia, including EPIRB registration with AMSAR in Canberra.  Both vessels are capable of 30 knots and have regularly done crossings between the islands and Nias/Sumatra.  

Want to catch your dinner?  

No problem as both boats are regularly used for a slow troll home to put that prized fish on your plate.
