At Kingfisher Resort we offer a wide range of activities, with an emphasis on utilising the natural resources and cultural aspects unique to the Mentawai Islands. Your time at Kingfisher is your own, whether you’re surfing, snorkeling, fishing, lounging by the pool, visiting local villages, or hiking the jungle paths – there is something for everyone.

FISHING

For the easy-going angler, the tropical waters of Sipora offers brillant conditions for fishing. Most of the surf breaks around the island are accessed via boat, so in between surf sessions our guests often drop a line and catch something for dinner. In the evenings especially, we trawl on the way home using two lures behind the boat to catch Spanish Mackerel, Barracuda, Tuna, Wahoo, different kinds of Trevally and other exotic fish. Our team provides the boat and all fishing equipment. All fishing trips are included for free during your stay. Grab the rods and head out in search of dinner!

SNORKELING and SPEAR FISHING

We are very fortunate to have a wide choice of fantastic snorkeling sites with warm, crystal clear water close to the resort. Directly in front of the resort is a key hole offering amazing sites of live coral and teeming wild life. Alternatively, you can take a short bike or boat ride to discover a diverse collection of hard and soft corals which provide a home and feeding ground for schools of vibrant reef fish, shellfish, anemones, giant clams and turtles.

SUP and FOILBOARD

We have 2 stand up paddles boards and a foil board our guests are welcome to use. Get some exercise on the SUPs on the small days or just go for a mellow cruise through the beautiful mangroves. If you are feeling up for it, give the foil board a go. It is easier than it looks, and our guides will give you a helping hand along the way.

TREKKING AND BIKING

Kingfisher Resort is situated on Sipora island, home to various wild jungle tracks. Go for a trek through the lush Mentawai greenery or take a bike ride and go discover your own private beach. A jungle trek will take you through the local villages, the closest one being about 5km from the resort. There you can immerse yourself in a completely unique culture, or test your skills in the volley ball court - the local kids are always keen for a game.
