There are 2 kind of ferries to get to Siberut Island (Playground Area, Mentawai).
On the WAY BACK TO PADANG the Mentawai Fast Ferry works the same days (Tuesday (3h), Thursday (6h) and Saturday (3h) ) and it arrives at the same time: 6 PM to Padang.
That's why we highly recommend you to spend the last night in Padang so you make sure you take the flight to your next destination the next day.
There is another ferry working on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from Padang to Tua Pejat (another island) and Monday, Wednesday and Friday from Tua Pejat to Padang. We could arrange transport to that island as well for an extra cost. It takes 3.5h (ferry) + 1.30h speedboat to the island.
