You’ll have a great time, but don’t take our word for it…

“A perfect diving holiday as always. Wakatobi is the best diving holiday in Indonesia, and possibly all of Asia! Thank you and see you next year.”

“An amazing experience end-to-end! Rooms were beautifully refreshed each day; exceptional services at the restaurant, and our dive guide was amazing – a lovely human being who helped both of us get reacquainted with diving. On the third dive Victoria had an inner ear issue, and the staff was most responsive. The resort’s nurse provided antibiotics and helped arrange a doctor’s visit in Bali on our return. Thank you for all the care and attention.”

“Our Snorkel guides were very knowledgeable, attentive and always finding new things to see! Thank you for all of the plant-based menu options. The chefs are fantastic, and we were blown away by the grace and manners of your wait staff. We will be back.”

“Excellent 2 weeks! Wakatobi is the absolute ultimate dive experience. The entire staff is amazing; accommodations, dive boats, and restaurant are exceptional. Our dive guide made every dive special.”

“Wakatobi’s formula of exceptional diving, pristine habitat, meaningful employment for local communities and marine protection through negotiation and agreement is an outstanding win-win model. This was our third visit to Wakatobi. As before, it has been a wonderful experience for the diving, the atmosphere and particularly the staff. The latter have been exceptional in their service, their attention to detail, their friendliness and their attitude. This includes the dive team, the skippers and crew, and all those manning the boats and filling and loading tanks and managing our equipment. In the restaurant, where the chef made daily meals of exceptional quality, we were made particularly welcome by all the restaurant staff who made every meal very enjoyable.”

“We loved our return visit! After a six-year hiatus from diving Wakatobi made it a safe and comfortable return to the water. Many thanks to the staff who all go the extra mile to make it a special visit to a special place!”

“Spectacular visit! Our first, but not our last. We came for a special experience on the occasion of our 50th anniversary and were not disappointed. We have traveled the world in our 50 years of marriage, 34 years in the military, and always been treated well – but never as well as we experienced at Wakatobi Awesome service, food and diving. Staff knowing our names was very special. We came for the diving but will come back for the food.”

“Without a doubt, Pelagian and Wakatobi Resort is the finest live-aboard, resort, and diving operation we’ve ever dealt with! The health of the reef, and marine life in general is jaw-droppingly amazing! A college English professor with a thesaurus would run out of superlatives to describe the staff, service, accommodations, and food at Wakatobi. Our dive guides always made sure our gear was working, made sure we were together and safe and were excellent at finding nudibranchs (our favorite!). The boat crews took care of our post-dive needs with warm face towels and day bath towels. The kitchen staff made interesting varieties of food options three meals per day. The wait staff addressed us by name each time they saw us, as did the front office staff. The housekeeping staff neatly folded the disarranged clothes we left on chairs and the bed, and we loved the towel animals on our bed each day. The groundskeepers were always polite and worked hard to rake debris aside and keep up the ingenious designs on the footpaths. The masseuses were highly skilled and capable, and our massages were a real treat. The beachfront bungalow we stayed in was a terrific space, and we particularly enjoyed the outside showers. Finally, we particularly appreciated the Bali Staff, who were so helpful in orienting us to local transportation and gathering us in preparation for our flight to the resort. So many little things add up to an incredible overall experience. Thank you for taking such good care of us. It was an unforgettable trip.”

“Excellent service and excellent food. We particularly appreciated all the Indonesian cuisine! Wakatobi is well worth the travel.”

“Everything at Wakatobi is perfect. The place, the staff, the dives and even the restaurant music playlists. A diver’s paradise.”

“We cannot say enough great things about our diving experiences and wonderful stay at your lovely Wakatobi Resort. It was the absolute best experience in over 40 years of diving in many locations. Of course, the dive sites are spectacular, and your dive team on Wakatobi IV was stellar. The guides assessed our skills (or lack of) immediately, showed us incredible patience and guided us to so many unusual fish, corals, and marine life. The rest of the crew all gave us the TLC which spoiled us for any other dive vacation!”

“I had an amazing experience here! The guest service was outstanding. Our guides had such a good eye for marine life and made sure we got the most out of each dive. I hope to return next year with my mom.”

“Best diving, staff, food, dive masters and accommodations EVER! The amazing diving, helpful and knowledgeable guides, delicious food, well-appointed rooms, relaxing massage, and happy hour at the jetty — We loved it all!”

“You guys are amazing! From the time I stepped off the plane, I felt at home. The assistant at the airport was a great help! There is nothing worse than being somewhere strange not knowing what to do. The guides and everyone on the boat are top notch and the food and accommodations never ceased to amaze me. Calling Wakatobi an underwater nirvana doesn’t even do it Justice! The colors, the reefs, the sheer variety of life – it’s unforgettable and I look forward to returning soon!”

“This is my fourth visit to Wakatobi and I would like to thank everyone at the resort for another unforgettable stay. Your service is still exceptional, and the dive sites and the dive guides make this trip truly special.  I look forward to returning someday to this paradise.”
