Information About

Batu Islands




The people of the Batu Islands have had substantial interaction with the populations of Nias, to the north. The islands have occasionally been a destination for Slaves who escaped from Nias, and in the past decade have become a destination for surfing boat charters from Padang , on the Sumatran mainland.

The Equator passes through the archipelago, north of Tanahmasa and south of Pini.
