A pioneering conservation-based resort experience

Wakatobi was founded on the principle that discerning divers would gladly visit and support a resort which offered more than the basics. Wakatobi combines a world-class diving operation delivering exceptional service to its guests with a reef conservation program which, in guaranteeing the pristine quality of the reefs for those guests, delivers sustainable income and development support to the local communities.

Pushing the boundaries

Wakatobi constantly pushes the boundaries on what constitutes a ‘dive resort’ redefining both the software and hardware of the operation in the process.

Testimonials

Our guests describe their Wakatobi experiences both in the resort and aboard our private dive yacht, Pelagian.

We enjoyed the stay at Wakatobi very much! For snorkeling, we were well taken care of by our guide and the dive team.  Our resort tour guide explained so many fine details for us. For the village excursion, our guide was lovely and spoke great English. She guided me through the village and explained its history and culture. The restaurant staff and food are so good and much appreciated. Every… “Well taken care of”
