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

Phenomenal diving and even better staff.  They are all incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to assist with any issue. The Boutique also deserves a special mention as it is well-stocked with interesting items. The diving is wonderful and the dive guides, boat crew, and other staff are all world-class. We greatly enjoyed the history tour of the resort and all the other activities that were offered as well. The Spa massage was delightful, we wish we had done more. The towel animals left by the cleaning team were a bright spot and our group shared pictures every time we got a new one! Our only “complaint” is that we didn’t stay longer. Thank You all!

What a beautiful resort. All the staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The diving was extraordinary, and I will definitely look to return in the future!

We leave Wakatobi better than when we arrived. It was such a great experience in the water and on land. We love their generous and kind demeanor. The joyful caring nature of Indonesian people leaves a lasting impression.

What an amazing experience! Beyond our expectations. The staff are so friendly and attentive both on land and in the water. The reef condition is fantastic. Our dive experience manager was awesome – the best dive guide we have ever had!! Starting at the airport in Bali all the staff treated us so special and made us feel like we were part of their family. We had so many hugs when we were leaving. The tours we had were very informative and eye-opening. We loved every minute of our stay.

There is no better place in the world that I would rather be than snorkeling on Wakatobi’s House Reef.

As always, we enjoyed our stay at Wakatobi. The staff is extremely helpful and courteous and the food was great.

“Everything about the Wakatobi experience is superb. The food, service, staff, accommodations, and diving are outstanding. Beyond my expectations and the diving trip of a lifetime. I will definitely return for another visit next year.”

“A fantastic resort. The diving is truly some of the best in the world. The reefs are the best we’ve encountered, so healthy and absolutely teeming with fish. Food and service is truly world class. Other resorts should come here and learn how a 5-star resort should be run. We had the best dive master ever. He anticipated our needs, was ever so patient and has the best eye for spotting sea creatures. A true master. His naturally upbeat disposition and ready smile made our dive experiences a 6/5. The resort is beautiful and very well run, not a stray leaf in your path and personal touches such as all the staff learning our names.

Thank you for an unforgettable experience. We will return with our 3 children and their partners!”

“Wakatobi’s House Reef is the best shore diving location I’ve been to in 30 years of SCUBA! An overall spectacular operation with great service and staff, professional boat crew, highly knowledgeable dive guides who provide extra attention to safety and security of guests.”

“We love this place! The level of service is excellent, and we never wanted for anything. The food is great, the bungalow is wonderful, and the diving is mind-blowing. We especially appreciated our dive guide, who was the best either of us has ever had. And to make it more amazing he helped with everything else. We hope to come back.”

“Wakatobi is everything we dreamt it would be and more, and far exceeded our expectations! The Wakatobi House Reef alone is worth the journey. The daily snorkel excursions to different sites, the gracious staff, delicious food, and attention to detail is outstanding.”

“Wakatobi feels like being on another planet as soon as you arrive. You are met by smiles, warmth, and humility, plus a desire for you always to be pleased and happy. We are on our 8th visit to the resort everything just gets better. The updated jetty walkway is better and cooler to walk on and looks great. Our private guide was wonderful, so calm, knowledgeable, personable, and always had a smile. The dive sites were awesome as always.  The guides were outstanding, and the food was as delicious as ever.”

“A perfect week of beautiful diving, pristine bungalows and the most delicious food to be found on an island, but the reason the stay was one of the best ever was the staff. Undoubtedly, the best part of the Wakatobi experience is their wonderful staff who make you feel so at home and who are there to help you with anything you need!  Each staff member was just wonderful and the fact that everyone knew our name made us feel welcome and a part of the Wakatobi team. Touches like the hot water towel and the hot tea when we came out were so special and all those helping us with our gear made it all so very easy. The whole diving experience is a 10/10.”

“Another amazing week of outstanding diving, service, food and friendship! Thank you to everybody at Wakatobi for making our stay so lovely in all ways. To our guide for his patience and showing us some amazing things. To the Waka VI boat crew for looking after us so well. Thank you to the restaurant staff for their attention to detail and for learning all our names. Also, our room was kept spotless and we loved the towels.”

“Well aware this is a hackneyed phrase, but the staff make the Wakatobi experience! Very well trained, indeed. The snorkel/diving setup was excellent. Accommodation and dining as good as many 5-star resorts. The Wakatobi House Reef is world class – if not world-beating class.” Simply outstanding – even the damned Titan Triggerfish!”
