CAMP CHARACTER

The total capacity of the camp is 20 people (including free-surfers and non-surfers). However, the maximum number of guests for the surf coaching is 6 per retreat. That way we can provide more personal attention and make sure the level of the surfers is matching. The average age is 25-45, solo traveller, couples or group of friends.

MORE INFO, HOW TO GET THERE & FAQ

SURF CONDITIONS

Breaks directly at the main spot and at nearby spots

All the surf spots in the area are reef breaks except for Mandiri Beach. They range from intermediate to expert level. All spots are a few minutes away from the accommodation. Furthest spots in the area are 30 minutes- 1 hour drive. All the spots are paddle-out, no boat ride necessary.

Seasonal conditions

Water temperature ranges from 27-29°C, board shorts all year long. Air temperature ranges between 27-32°C. Dry season (April to October) offers bigger swells and trade winds, off-shore wind on the majority of the spots during this time. The rainy season brings smaller swells but surf is present all year long.

Crowd factor and local people

Mostly a low crowd, some occasional busy sessions on smaller spots when a big swell is around and the bigger spots become overpowered.

SURROUNDINGS / REGION

Characterization of surroundings/region

Krui is a decent-size town but is far from any big cities (6h drive To Bandar Lampung and Bengkulu). While you can find all the everyday essentials here, it is better to come prepared. Bring your own toiletries, medicines as well as women’s sanitary products. Medical facilities are present but basic. A travel insurance with medical coverage is mandatory when visiting. We ask you to respect the culture and cover up when not at the beach, or in the resort. No shirtless and bikinis. Payment by cash in Indonesian Rupiah or card. Reliable ATMs available in town.

JOURNEY

Ways to get to the camp

To reach Krui you will have to fly through Jakarta (CGK) with international or domestic flights. From Jakarta you can book one of the many flights to Bandar Lampung (TKG). Make sure you leave enough time to change terminals if you are flying internationally.

Option 1 (recommended): Once you arrive in Bandar Lampung you will have your driver waiting for you at the airport. The drive takes 6-7h (included in package). Make sure to arrange the transfer with us and communicate your flight and arrival time. We will inform you if other participants arrive at the same time to share the ride.

Option 2: You can fly from Bandar Lampung (TKG) to Krui (TFY) with Susi Air. This aircraft doesn’t allow you to take surfboards (and we recommend to bring your own equipment). However if you don’t have boardbags it is a faster option than the car ride (40 minutes flight). Susi air flies 1-2 times per week to Krui so contact us in advance if you need help with flights schedule

Important details

Visa mandatory when visiting Indonesia. You can get a 30-days visa on arrival (VoA) for 25 euros or a 60-days extendable tourist visa (C1) if you apply in advance from abroad, for around 90 euros.
