As its name suggests, the Banyak Islands are made up of numerous small islands, scattered across a pristine and untouched stretch of ocean. This is one of the least known and least crowded surf destinations in the region, primarily because it takes longer to reach—but for those who make the journey, the rewards are unparalleled.

Here, you’ll find an abundance of untouched waves, just as high-quality as those in the Mentawais, but with far fewer surfers in the lineup. From perfect peeling walls to heavy barrels, the variety of waves ensures something for every kind of rider.

In the Banyaks, the word “odyssey” takes on its full meaning. This is a true surf exploration, where each session is an adventure, and discovering new, uncrowded waves becomes part of your daily routine.
