The Mahalo II operates in an area from West Timor to Sumba and the many small Islands nearby.
In many ways the Timor /Sumba region is unlike the rest of Indonesia. The weather, the people, and topography are all unique. Combine that with great waves and all adds up to the perfect surf trip.
Blessed with warm dry trade winds from April thru November, the weather is similar to the lee sides of Oahu or Maui. There is very little rain and the temperatures vary between 80 in the day to 72 at night. Humidity is low so it is not hot and sticky.
The Islands are all open to the Southwest swell window with consistent swell during our charter season. Warm and clean describes the waters.60ft. Visibility is not uncommon. Because we operate in the lee sides of the Islands, the ocean is seldom rough and we can always find a calm anchorage.
Early and late season the sea serface can be perfectly smooth. The Islands all have beautiful white sandy beachs. Some are low with just a few panamas trees while others are heavily wooded with elevations over 2000ft.
Many are uninhabited and some have a small village here and there. The people are Christian and very friendly towards Westerners. This area is peaceful and left undisturbed by the political unrest that marks much of the rest of Indonesia.
