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

“A wonderful experience – brilliantly organized and executed by always friendly and helpful staff. Our snorkeling guide did a brilliant job of identifying unusual creatures in the water. “

“The pristine beauty of the Banda Sea, the amazing heart of the Indonesian island people, led by the engineering and ingenuity of the Swiss founder… This is Wakatobi. Superb, surprising, and sumptuous. Thank you for another incomparable holiday. Until next time.”

“This is our 2nd visit to Wakatobi and we are even more impressed with the high quality of services provided in all areas. Lovely to reconnect with so many staff that treated us like family. We plan to return in 2025 to enjoy the amazing reef and staff.”

“Our stay completely met our expectations. World-class diving and the resort’s preservation efforts are reflected in the health of the reefs. The onboard experience was exceptional – hot towels, fresh towels, warm tea and our guide was best in class. He learned how we dive, accommodated our needs and identified critters or corals we wouldn’t have seen without him.”

“Staff on the Pelagian were universally outstanding! The diving was fabulous! Such beautiful healthy coral reefs with an abundance of sea life. Our guides were enthusiastic teachers about all the reef life, and their use of whiteboards to write down what we were seeing was very helpful. The stewards couldn’t have been nicer, and everyone aboard was always willing to do anything to enhance our experience. The chef prepared wonderful meals, and a major shout out to our tender driver who was always cheerful and extraordinarily helpful with getting all our scuba gear on and off – even checking to see if we had stray strands of hair caught in our dive masks. Truly a gem!”

“We loved our week on Pelagian! The diving was fantastic, and the crew made the whole week a great experience. The briefings before each dive to learn what we might see made it a rich experience. I also really liked spending the last afternoon at Wakatobi Resort – great to mix it up after we were done diving.”

“Thank you so much for all of the amazing hospitality. This trip has truly been a once in a lifetime experience. Beyond the incredible diving, the staff was so kind and attentive.”

“Pelagian is a beautifully maintained vessel, with a lovely crew and great diving.”

Our experience was fantastic. The reefs, fish life and corals are among the best in the world. The room was lovely, and the food was quite good. What really stands out most is the quality of the service which puts even the fanciest hotels to shame. The attitude of the entire staff was superb. They were helpful, friendly and genuine. The “relaxed elegant” vibe was great. This is our first visit, but we will be back.

Incredible attention to customer service at the Resort and on the Pelagian. The staff and crew are very professional and extremely capable in their roles. They are also consistently friendly and helpful! Pelagian is a great liveaboard experience. Limiting capacity to 10 divers results in a very personalized experience. The dive locations are fantastic-and the ability to access them with a short tender ride is great. The cabins are spacious and very well appointed. The food is amazing! All of the staff are exceptional and the attention to detail is evident in everything!

This has been one of the very best holidays of my life. Wakatobi is a snorkeler’s dream come true where you are treated equally to divers. I loved it. The guides are very active in finding creatures and all the dive sites are amazing! I received such wonderful support and friendliness. Even though I was traveling alone, I never felt lonely. I hope to be back as soon as possible.

After booking our Wakatobi holiday we decided to marry in Australia, so this became our honeymoon – and we couldn’t have chosen better. Unless you come here, you will not understand how special Wakatobi is. It will change your perception on vacations forever.

This was, by far, the best liveaboard we have ever been on. The diving was outstanding, the crew first class and the master cabin is luxurious. Everything is just sublime and it’s going to be really hard to dive with anyone else!

We had a wonderful experience at Wakatobi. All the staff were so friendly and caring. Our dive guide was very knowledgeable and helpful with our equipment when entering and exiting the water. We would recommend Wakatobi to all our friends in the dive community.

This is the best dive resort we have ever visited. Your staff, including cleaning, dining room and reception work very hard to meet guests’ requests. Diving is so fun, the guides are very knowledgeable and the boat and dive staff are great too; you should be very proud of them.
