What is the local religion?
The large majority of the people on Simeulue are Muslim. Mosques dominate the small villages and it is not uncommon to pass through local festivals and celebrations on your wave explorations. The people are very friendly and welcoming and can generally lend a helping hand in finding waves. Women will be respectfully asked to dress moderately and avoid bikinis or go topless on the beach as it can offend local people. A beautiful sarong will do the trick.
–
Should I be worried about Malaria?
While the risk is low, It is suggested that you take preventative measures before coming to Sumatra. Talk to your local physician before leaving to work out the best solution. You should bring plenty of tropical area mosquito repellents and protective clothing for the early mornings and evenings. All bedrooms are equipped with mosquito nets.

Can I change money on the Island?
No you can’t. However, there are several ATMs where you can withdraw cash with your Visa Card or Master card. However, it is sometimes unserviceable. We therefore recommend you bring some cash in Indonesian Rupiah from Medan Airport lots of ATM’S there.
