Cruising Schedule

The ship aims for an annual schedule with a priority to stay off the beaten track and exploit the expedition capabilities of the vessel. Surf zones such as Savu Sea (Nusa Tenggara Timur), Spice Islands and Secret Papua are all away from the main crowded surf hubs of Indonesia. Surfing alone and in solitude is getting harder to achieve these days, but if that’s your desire, then Tropicsurf and Kudanil get extremely excited about helping this become a reality for you and you’ve definitely come to the right place.

Surf Savu Sea

Indonesia offers some incredible barrels for the hard charging surfer, and Savu Sea (Nusa Tenggara Timur) is no exception. But Tropicsurf has also identified some easier waves too. One location in particular offers a softer right on one side of the channel and a hollow left just one hundred metres away on the other side. East Indonesia offers many setups but the real reason for coming here is to escape the crowds that frequent much of Indonesia.

Surf Spice Islands

This region boasts dozens of uncrowded and varied surf breaks. Mostly they are reef breaks of varying ease. Some are soft and beginner friendly. Others are rippable on any kind of board. A couple are hollow and challenging for even the best of surfers. Clearly, there’s something for every ability. However, you should simply not come if big, gnarly surf is your priority. Instead, the attraction here is uncrowded line-ups offering fun, playful reef breaks amidst dreamy, tropical backdrops.

Surf Secret Papua

Secret Papua’s surf potential remains a prized secret - known to only a select few. With Tropicsurf you’ll discover a range of quality breaks in a region where local villagers rarely see surfers. Some waves are small and beginner friendly, others are fast, shallow and suited to performance shortboarding. It’s a stand up paddlers paradise – the best place on Earth. Average intermediate board riders will have plenty to choose from. There are numerous long-walled lefts. We’ve even discovered a perfect right-hand barrel, which is ideal for perfecting your art of tube-riding. It would be extremely unusual to see another surfer in these parts.

Cultural Experience

An unrivalled cultural experience that families remember forever. Visit remote villages with friendly locals. Scuba dive or snorkel amidst karst canyons, beautiful corals and an abundance of marine life. Kayak or stand up paddle through a ten-storey high sacred cave in the hollowed out limestone pinnacle, which was the former burial site of indigenous Papuans. Take a summit hike to breath-taking views. Surf empty, perfect waves.

Magical Moments

Carefully crafted to meet your most specific requirements, and renowned for capitalising on spontaneous events and activities, this trip is inspired by the potential of special locations and magical moments best shared with loved ones. From spontaneous beach parties to picnics on the walls of an ancient ruin, frontier Indonesia immerses us in the enchantment of a world that for most is lost and gone forever.

Non-Surfer's Paradise

This trip is so much more than just surfing. Paddle underneath a cascading waterfall for a refreshing blast. Take a summit hike to breath-taking views. We can arrange a group paddle through stunning waters that will blow your mind – the world’s best paddle location by far. Savor an under-the stars BBQ on a stunning, deserted beach. If you had to choose one Tropicsurf boat trip that is just as exciting for your flat-water loved ones as it is for the surfers – this is the one!
