The Aussie Line Up
Picture this. You’ve grinded through 24+ hours of travel, you’re sweaty and your shoulders ache from a probably overweight board bag. You’re greeted with a g’day, handed an ice-cold beer, and the banter starts flowing. It feels like home already, and you know you’re in for one hell of a trip.
We’re an Aussie-owned-and-operated surf travel brand, representing the best of the best Aussie-owned-and-operated surf camps, resorts, and boats in Indo. We handle the logistics and planning; they handle delivering a 10/10 trip. It’s a pretty decent setup, built over 27 odd years.
Surf Charter Boats
Nomad Surf Charters
Nomad’s lead surf guide and part-owner, Jake, has spent well over a decade sailing Indo’s Mentawai and Telo Islands. A Gold Coast local, Jake is an absolute legend and weapon in the surf, all-in-one. Coincidentally, World Surfaris’ CFO is onboard Nomad as we speak chasing a “shoulder season” swell.
Raja Elang
Legendary skipper, Tony ‘Doris’ Eltherington has been kind enough to welcome the World Surfaris team on board Raja Elang twice this season, and one thing’s for sure – Doris knows the islands and how to avoid crowds like no one else. Fact!
Santana Laut
Another one of Doris’ esteemed vessels, Santana Laut is a go-to for bigger groups. Plus, we may or may not have an awesome shoulder season deal up for grabs…
Asia Surf Charters
Newly onboarded to our range of Aussie operators, the Sunshine Coast-based husband and wife duo Dave and Cara have a really great thing going with Asia Surf Charters and their Padang homestay, Sentosa Lodge. It’s the full package, literally!
Orca Laut
We could carry on about Tim’s lifetime of experience and knack for escaping crowds for days, but the more pressing topic is: if you book by the end of this month, groups of 7 get an 8th spot for free! An absolute no-brainer.
Mangalui Surf Charters
Matt and the team from Mangalui were among the first to partner with World Surfaris in the early 2000s, and we’ve been frothing ever since.
Switchfoot Charters
Jason, from Sydney, operates a beautiful fibreglass power catamaran. Back in August, one of World Surfaris’ surf travel consultants spent an epic 10 days onboard Switchfoot with Jas, and couldn’t rate it higher.
The classic Indonesian surf charter experience complete with a legendary Aussie surf guide, an unbeatable reputation and ice-cold Bintangs!
