SAILOR GIRL LIVES WITH MENTAWAI TRIBE | Sailing Indonesia (Sailing Nandji) Ep144
Bonita goes on a solo mission DEEP into the Jungle to live with the remote traditional Mentawai Tribe
In this episode of Sailing Nandji, we decide we want to challenge our selves as our sailing plans have changed. So Bonita leaves Nandji on a solo mission into the jungle to live with the remote Mentawai Tribe who live and follow their traditional ways. She leaves Yosh all alone on Nandji who in the next episode performs his first ever offshore overnight solo sail.
Bonita heads deep into the jungle on Siberut island to watch and learn how the traditional tribe live. She stays with the Shaman Cookie, who invites her into his home and shows Bonita some of the daily tasks of living in the Jungle. Cookie teaches the ways of collecting and eating insects, how to make poison arrows to kill animals and goes fishing in the stream with a local lady. This is an experience of a life time as she is the first girl to travel solo to the remote tribe and live amongst them. What a brave lady!
With no sailing experience, we bought a yacht, got it blue water cruising ready and set off sailing to the Pacific! We have since cruised through Vanuatu, the Solomon islands, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and then onto the boat yard in Malaysia to prepare for the years to come. With a new engine, we continued onto Thailand, then into Indonesia and specifically West Sumatra where we are living the island life and chasing the surf. With our Sailing plans changing, we are returning to Thailand in the coming months and then taking the northern route of the Indian Ocean to the Andaman islands and onto Sri Lanka before heading south to Chagos and across the Indian Ocean once cyclone season has finished and the trades begin again!
We departed the east coast of Australia in July 2017 and have since explored some amazing countries, met some beautiful people and experienced so many different and diverse cultures, dived pristine reefs, surfed solo in the middle of nowhere, spent weeks at sea, dealt with storms, big waves, strong winds and had the time of our life doing it! The adventure is just beginning as we sail West with the trades around the World!

Mentawai tribe - Siberut - Wedding and traditionnal culture - Indonesia
This video was shot during a trip to Mentawai Islands in Indonesia.
The Mentawai Islands are a chain of about seventy islands and islets approximately 150 kilometres (93 miles) off the western coast of Sumatra in Indonesia.Suberut is the largest one.
About 60% of Siberut is covered with tropical rainforest, which shelters a rich biological community that has earned a spot for UNESCO biosphere reserve.
The native tribes living there live a semi-nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle in the coastal and rainforest environments of the islands. Mentawais are characterised by their heavy spirituality, body art (tattos) and their tendency to sharpen their teeth, a practice they feel makes one beautiful.
A visit to the Mentawai tribe on the Island Siberut
With Baobab Travel we visited in 1993 during a journey through Indonesia the Mentawai tribe. They live on the island of Siberut in the Indian Ocean, west of Sumatra. Siberut is from Padang on Sumatra only accessible by ferry and on the island you have to travel by canoe and on foot through the tropical rainforest. The Mentawai tribe we visited live very isolated on the middle of the island and lived there as they used to for many centuries. With hunting, fishing and products from the rainforest they are entirely self sufficient. It is noteworthy that on Siberut there is no alcohol and that it is also strictly forbidden to bring alcohol during our visit. Tobacco was known, and is was also smoked by almost everyone.
De video is gemaakt met een Sony H8 camera.

Indonesian Stock Photos (All About Mentawai, Padang, Indonesia)
Mentawai Islands Regency is an archipelagic district located in the westernmost part of the island of Sumatra and surrounded by the Indian Ocean. The Mentawai Islands are part of a series of non-volcanic islands and the islands are the peaks of an undersea mountain ridge. The Mentawai tribe as the main population in this district, in general this society does not have a clear picture of their origin, although some of them know some mythology which sometimes is rather blurred and hard to believe. Local people call their country the name Bumi Sikerei. Most of the inhabitants of the islands in the Mentawai Islands regency are from Siberut Island. The Mentawai tribe community physically has a rather old-fashioned culture, namely the neolithic age wherein this community is not familiar with metalworking technology, as well as farming and weaving. The population in this district is half of them adherents of animism, then some are Christians and Muslims. After independence the people in this district have mingled with other ethnic groups in Indonesia, especially after this district became one of the transmigration areas, I love my country ✌️

SUMATRA - how to travel Indonesia? (Mentawai Islands, Bukit Lawang, Medan etc.)
How to travel Indonesia? Indonesia has 17.508 islands you could possibly visit: Bali, Java, Kalimantan, Lombok, Komodo or Sumatra.
We travelled Sumatra and had a spectacular time here.
Let's start with some quick facts about Sumatra. First of all, Sumatra is a big island. Whatever you plan to cover on your trip, you will realize fast that it is hard to see all the highlights of Sumatra. We had to skip a lot. It's not only that the island itself is so big, it is also hard to get around. Compared to other countries in Southeast Asia we think that Indonesia is one of the countries which makes it a little bit harder to get around. There are not many tourist busses like in Thailand or Cambodia (and no open bus tickets like in Vietnam). This is also nice as you will definitely meet and travel with locals. On the other hand it was really hard sometimes to find the right bus terminal and not to end up being scammed. Another quick fact about Sumatra: this island was quite touristy for a while, like 20 years ago, but it is not anymore. There are some main spots like Lake Toba or Bukit Lawang for example. But at places like Bukittinggi, Harau Valley, Lake Maninjau you can be pretty much alone - not seeing (m)any other tourists.
As I said it is hard to cover all the main spots of Sumatra. Here is a list of the places we went to:
1. Medan: huge city, 2 Million people are living here, we tried to leave as quick as possible.
2. Bukit Lawang: The main spot to go. Here you can hike through the jungle spotting wild Orangutans and other species.
3. Bukittinggi: nice small town - not many tourists.
4. Lake Maninjau: a place to relax, swim in the lake, eat some fresh fish or try other Indonesian food.
5. Harau Valley: rock formations, waterfalls and rice fields. Here you can wake up in your guesthouse next to a huge rock, having beakfast on the balcony.
6. Padang: bigger, smelly city, nice hotels, restaurants and malls.
7. Mentawai Islands: beautiful islands, perfect for snorkeling and surfing, really hard to get here on you own, jungle trekking to meet the tribe people.

Getting Lost in Padang, Sumatera Barat (Mentawai Vlog Pt.1)
Second trip in 2018! This time: Padang, Sumatra Barat. Its another Cousincation!! Vacation with my cousin to Mentawai. so in this first Vlog we went to Padang from Soekarno Hatta International Airport in Jakarta. And just before we went in for check in my cousin already lost his phone. He put it in the ATM machine and unfortunately forgot to take it before went out and when we check it back it wasn't there. But the trip must go on tho. Especially after we'd plan this for 6 months ago.
In Padang, we just went to the Air Manis Beach, the famous one but the beach itself was just so so. not really special, then we went a bit hike up the hill Bukit Padang and see the Padang city from the top.
This is the first vlog of my Cousincation Series in Mentawai.
Without further a due. check it out!!
