About Us
Enjoy The Best Experience
Pulau Asli is a community-based travel and experience provider dedicated to preserving the culture and natural heritage of the Mentawai Islands. Founded and led by native Mentawai, we create journeys that go beyond sightseeing — offering guests a genuine exchange of stories, skills, and traditions with the local community.
We believe that tourism should be a force for good: directly benefiting local families, safeguarding cultural heritage, and protecting the environment. Every trip we design blends nature-based adventure, cultural immersion, and tangible contributions to the community.
Our modular approach allows travelers to choose the depth of their experience — from short cultural encounters to full immersion in Mentawai’s rainforest and way of life. Whether it’s trekking through lush jungle, learning to craft bark-cloth ceremonial clothing, or sharing meals in a traditional uma longhouse, every moment with Pulau Asli is rooted in authenticity, respect, and connection.
