Other Services
The T-Land Resort offers you many travel possibilities: we coordinate
transfers from your arrival at Jakarta or Bali (a must for all surfers
who travel to and through Indonesia), second option from arriving at
Rote Island (Ba'a port).
If arriving at Jakarta or Bali our agent will pick you up from the
airport (Denpasar International Airport) to take you to the concerted
hotel.
For your next stopover we will pick you up from the hotel and will
take you to the local airport (domestic) where our guide will give you
your plane tickets to Kupang (West Timor's capital). You will arrive
there in the early evening. Our guide will be awaiting to take you to
the hotel for you to rest. The moment of truth is due. Rote awaits you.
The following morning we will go to Kupang's port bright and early to
take the fast ferry (VIP class) which sets off at 8:30am. This sea
journey takes about 1 1/2 hrs. At Rote's port you will be welcomed by
our staff who will take you straight to your first surfing at the
Nemberala village.
If you chose the second option, the T-Land Resort staff
will be waiting for you at Rote's port to take you to our center in the
Nemberala village. We will give you all the details for your planning
comfort.
On your way back home you do not need to spend the night in Kupang due to the Ferry's times.

The bungalow roofs are thatched (alang) and rest on coral-rock walls.In order to avoid the inconveniences of walking from a tropical climate into an air-conditioned one, we have designed our rooms in such a way an ideal indoor temperature is sustained by using the sea breeze and the energy of fans.
The T-Land Resort is a collection of charming rooms with their own distinctive decor. To achieve this we have decorated them with Timor Style (antiques) and first-class Teak furniture. The bathrooms are outside and the terraces offer magnificent sea views.

Best Period
The T-Land is one of the longest waves in Indonesia and offers surfing
at different levels thanks to its three sections. It is also one of the
most perfect and consistent waves in Indonesia. It breaks at 2ft (0,5m)
up to 15ft (5m) high.
From March to November, dry season and winter in
the Southern hemisphere, the wind blows South-Southwest coming from
South Africa towards Australia. That is when the Indian Ocean turns into
a factory of waves and dreams. The winds are off-shore, East-Southeast
trade winds. And unlike in other islands in the archipelago, you will
not find distrustful locals protecting their waves from visitors. They
are friendly and kind to the scarce surfers in their waters.
Spots
Most spots in these islands remain a whisper, only Nembrala is frequented by other surfers. Left long surfable by all sizes and keeps the big swells.
Winds are 95% offshore during dry season, sky purely blue, white sand beach like powder and you’ll never forget it’s Indonesian sunsets !
T Land : G Land sister wave ! Located in front of Nembrala beach (Nembro) Freight train is running on !
Homebreak : A funny left situated far over the reef. Can reach 5m if in good mood…
Peanuts & Bo'a : 2 beautiful lefts ½ hour from Nembrala. Shallow bottom.
N'Dau Island : (access by boat only) Solid right and left peak.
Do'o Island - (access by boat only) : Another freight train running at speed of sound until horizon line. Don’t miss this pearl.

Surf Story
Due to its independence from Eastern Timor in 2002, Rote has kept well away from tourism.
Geography
Indonesia, amazing region hiding the most beautiful waves of the Indian Ocean is made of (going from West to East) the large island of Sumatra, where is located in the Northwest out at sea Nias Island, the archipelago of Hinakos and Mentawaï Islands.
Then, comes Java, G Land, Bali, and the immense archipelago of Sunda Islands: Nusa Lembongan, very close to Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, Flored, Timor, Komodo and its giant monitor lizards, Sumba and its astonishing charm.
On the upper part, there is Kalimantan Island (Borneo) whose Northern part belongs to Malaysia. Next to it, Sulawesi Island (Celebes) with its large bays looking like a butterfly from the skyMore in the East, more and more islands, like the famous Maluku Islands and its rare spices…and finally Western New Guinea (Irian Jaya) with its border not really natural: a straight line that splits the island in two with Papua New Guinea.
Infos
Formalities :
Compulsory passport valid 6 months after the entry in the country. Visa-on arrival in Indonesia is required for all French nationals (and many other nationalities) since February 1st, 2004.
This visa is valid 30 days and can not be renewable there. Nationals from many countries (among them, France) can easily get a visa-on arrival, however they are limited in some ports of entry.
Visa on-arrival fees are US$10.00 for a stay up to 3 days, and US $25.00 for a stay up to 30 daysJakarta is the national capital of Indonesia.
Language :
The official language is Indonesian or Bahasa Indonesia, very close to Malay
Most Indonesians spoke this language. There are also more than 400 local languages and dialects on the islands.
Health :
Indonesia, as a tropical country not well-informed about medicine and health, elementary precautions must be taken to avoid gastric and intestinal troubles.
Be careful of hepatitis, worms and snakes’ bites as well.
The country goes through a resurgence of dengue, disease brought by mosquitoes, like malaria also there in Indonesia.
Time differences :
Indonesia is divided into three time zones :
GMT + 7 (Western Indonesian time): Sumatra, Java, western and central Kalimantan
GMT + 8 (Central Indonesian Time): Bali, Sunda Islands (Nusa Tenggara), Eastern and Southern Kalimantan and Sulawesi
GMT+ 9 (Eastern Indonesian Time): Irian Jaya and Maluku Islands.
Weather :
Indonesia overthrusts the equator between the Indian Ocean in the West and the Pacific Ocean in the East. Its climate is then humid and warm.
In the most part of the country, the humid season goes from October to April, the dry season from May to September. Nights are often warm, but in highland cities, the temperatures can quickly drop.Usually, the average temperature for the year goes between 22° and 35°C, and the humidity rate can reach 75%. In January-February, the rains are the most abundant.
Same thing in Bali where the coolest months go from May to July (28° on average) as well as in Sumatra.
The only climate difference is in Maluku Islands where the wet season goes between April to July, sometimes even to August.
The best season to visit and surf in Indonesia is from May to October.
Driving conditions : Buses are the main transportation mean in Indonesia : they go from the old “ekonomi” ones connecting the suburban areas (taking passengers, mail, goats, pigs…) to the luxuriant buses, through the express buses (“patas”), night buses (“bis malam”) and “the tchuk tchuk” or “bemo”, little smoky tricycle transportation.
If you wish to take the car, know that the road signs are approximately non existent, that the foreigner will always be responsible in case of any accident and that the police love to pull over cars with boards on top of the roof – Take some tips along…
You drive on the left side, and the signs are rudimentary, even non existent…
Renting a motorcycle is fun but watch out for traps: bumpy roads, crazy drivers, crossing animals and wandering people, incautious children, and poor lighted cars at night.
Water/Electricity :
Almost always 220 V, 50 cycles AC but some places still use 110 VMany hotels do not have wall-plugs and electricity cuts are not unusual in rural zones.Besides, the lights at night are not that great and a flashlight will be helpful.
Currency :
The currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR or Rp).
Bring travellers’ checks if possible, delivered by a well-known bank company and some hundreds of USD bills.
You will easily exchange your currencies (in USD, the most common currency) in the major cities and the tourist regions: think about having enough rupiah if you turn aside from the beaten track.Indonesian banks usually do not charge any commission and the best exchange rates are in Jakarta and Bali.
Credit cards will only be used for important purchases.
Tips are not a common thing to do, except for specific services. In Indonesia, chaffering is frequent.« Bemo » drivers are known for their ability to raise prices for the Western tourists.
However, do not try to reach every time the local rate…you would miss the session !
