Car hire with driver is usually around $40 / day. But of course pricing can vary from driver to driver.
Please note fuel will be additional but is relatively cheap in the region.
For those looking to explore the region other than surfing, you’ll be pleased to learn that despite the areas remoteness there are still some activities & day trips to check out.
- Snorkelling is easily available out the front of BeOcean or other nearby spots.
- When the swell is smaller, Stand Up Paddleboard's (SUP’s) are also available for all the guests of BeOcean to enjoy. And thanks to its ocean front location it’s easy to venture out from the surf camps shores. Pricing is IDR 100,000 (approx AUD 10) / 2hrs.
- Any keen fishermen staying at the camp will be pleased to hear that there's a number of good local fishing spots. Rest assured that you're in good hands as Max is very experienced especially when it comes to spear fishing. Bring your own gear although there is some equipment available at the camp.
- Banana Island (Pulau Pisang) which is directly opposite BeOcean, is a must visit location during your stay in Krui. Accessed by a short boat ride, it has 2 waves either side of the island as well as being a great spear fishing and snorkelling spot thanks to its translucent waters.
Other activities include jungle trekking inside the national park of Bukit Selatan, visiting one of the regions waterfalls or a day trip to Lake Ranau. Many of these activities can be done on your own although we can easily organise them for you if you prefer once you arrive at BeOcean.
For those looking to simply unwind at the camp, guests can also grab a massage (anytime) without having to go anywhere!

Those wanting to loosen up in between surfs, will find no better place to grab a yoga mat and stretch out that muscle fatigue from a hard days surfing. For the non surfing guests, there’s simply no better spot to recline into a hammock, read a book or watch the world go by. It’s also a favourite hang out to simply enjoy a cold Bintang and to take in one of Sumatra’s incredible sunsets.

Perfect location between the areas best waves with a little bonus wave right out the front. Camp set up is deluxe, you couldn't expect more. Max and Alycia are onto it and its obvious they have a hospitality background. The food is restaurant grade and different everyday.
By Tim N
Well what a great time we had at BeOcean Krui.... Max and Alicia were amazing host! I was extremely impressed with the food. the bungalows were clean and cosy... I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for accomodation in the Krui area. We'll be back!
By Grant
Staying at BeOcean during my Sumatran surf trip contributed to this being the best surf trip I've done. The location was perfect with a handful of different reef breaks right out the front, a sand bank beachie 15 mins scooter away, many more other reef breaks in within an hours drive in both directions and also a bonus island wave 1 hr off the coast by boat. The natural wooden bungalows were much more luxurious than I had anticipated and allowed me to recuperate in comfort after consistently doing over 6hrs in the water each day. The common areas have all been designed with thought and intention to create more than just a place to stay, there is strongly relaxing vibe about the place. The other guests seemed to agree on this and most evenings ended with a group beer on the deck watching the sunset and the last few waves roll over the reef for the day. Our three meals a day were top restaurant quality and appropriately portioned to fill up hungry surfers. The smoothies and jaffles on request were also a big hit amongst everyone and ensured nobody was ever forced to leave the accommodation to get food. Max and Alicia, along with their excellent and friendly team of staff, worked very hard to ensure that myself and all other guests were provided with the optimal experience during our stay at BeOcean. I will 100% be returning to BeOcean for another stay, my only hope is that it is sooner rather than later!
By Jeremy C
We couldnt be happier about choosing BeOcean for our 12 days in Sumatra. Max, Alicia and all their staff were super friendly and were always on hand to help with anything. The location was excellent with several fun reef breaks within walking distance and many more within a short scooter ride. The accommodation and facilities were excellent. Beautiful and comfortable bungalows and the common areas were the perfect place to relax after surfing all day. The food was delicious and had a good variety of western and Indonesian food and I was always happy with the meal sizes. Max was very knowledgeable of the surf conditions, each time we went to explore either by boat, car or scooter we were always greeted by excellent waves. Max even joined us for a few surfs which was great and he also takes amazing photos!! Thanks again for having us and already looking forward to our next trip!
