Join the Adventure!
Since 1996, Olas Navigator has been on a mission: to chase perfect, uncrowded waves across Indonesia and beyond. Founded by a crew of passionate free surfers, we’ve spent decades exploring remote surf spots and sharing that adventure with like-minded wave riders.
It all started with the Irish Mist, a 50ft steel ketch built in Australia and sailed to Bali to launch our first surf charters. In partnership with OLAS INTERNATIONAL, we pioneered surf expeditions from Bali to Java’s G-land, Panaitan Island, and finally to Padang, Sumatra – where we discovered dreamlike, empty lineups throughout the Mentawai Islands. The waves were legendary, the stoke was real, and the journey unforgettable.
Today, we continue that legacy aboard our second vessel, Carpe Diem 1. More refined, more adventurous, and ready to host you on the next leg of this incredible journey.
Whether you’re chasing barrels, seeking solitude, or just want to experience Indonesia’s surf frontier, we invite you to come aboard. Discover the magic of true surf exploration – uncrowded waves, epic sessions, and memories that will last a lifetime.
This isn’t just a surf trip. It’s a way of life. Welcome to Olas Navigator.
