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

“It was a real pleasure to stay in your beautiful place. I’m not a water person but thanks to your wonderful organization and kind staff, I managed to snorkel more than one hour. For me, it’s a miracle. Hope to come back soon.”

“The Pelagian cruise is simply paradise for real scuba divers and snorkelers. Organization is top-notch. Great service and excellent food. The diving and snorkeling facilities were perfect and the staff was friendly and attentive to details. If you look for Diving Heaven, you can’t look deeper than this!”

“A diving Nirvana. To dive Wakatobi is to experience the most stunning reef on earth in a bubble of stress-free luxury. We have loved every minute. I came here as a casual occasional diver and you have transformed me into a lover of the reef.”

“It’s a pleasure sailing with Pelagian. Our guide was extremely attentive and passionate. Bravo for the Chef. We will come back to dive in Buton again. See you soon!”

“Fantastic week of diving made memorable by our divemasters who went all out to find the pygmies and many other macro creatures. They thoughtfully picked sites to showcase the best of Wakatobi, always ensured we were comfortable on the boat and attended to all our request and needs. The restaurant hosts make the start and end of each day so welcoming like family. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious and variety wide enough. Shout-out to the pastry chef who makes the best donuts!”

“A once in a lifetime experience with the kindest-natured people you’ll meet and the best diving you’ll ever do. From location, to diving to hospitality. The whole experience has been wonderful, and what a way to spend my 30th birthday, especially with the amazing dinner that was served. Hands down some of the best food ever. I would love to steal that coconut sorbet recipe. Not only were the chefs fantastic but we were in awe that everyone knew our names, everyone has such a friendly, kind, nature aura.”

“Diving done the way it should be. We have not seen a higher level of quality, care and service anywhere. Fantastic and superior service from our rooms and meals to our amazing dive boat and dive master. Dive guides were engaged, happy and went overboard to provide us with identification of the sea life and a wonderful overall experience.”

“I have travelled Asia for 20 years and I give Wakatobi a 9 out of 10. I completed 40 dives in 13 days and the staff made this possible by a high level of service. Photographic opportunities are amazing and so is the in-house photo guide. Thanks for an awesome two weeks.”

“We had a wonderful experience at Wakatobi! Our dive guide was very knowledgeable and kind. Excellent diving experience with great brief and debrief. We loved the whiteboard pre-dive and the underwater whiteboard. We rented all our gear and it worked well. Spacious boats and excellent dive staff. The food was amazing, and the staff was excellent at both the restaurant and the sunset jetty.”

“Don’t come here. Let us keep it a secret!”

“After visiting several years ago, we returned with a lot of expectations, and were not disappointed! Perfect dives, perfect organization. Pelagian is a very luxurious boat, extremely friendly and professional staff. We will for sure come back.”We will for sure come back!

“Terrific dive operation. Pelagian has spoiled me for other livaboards, such luxury.”

“Our heartfelt gratitude to each and every staff member: you all made our stay in Wakatobi a truly memorable experience! We were greeted warmly everywhere, and everyone made us feel at home away from home. We never experienced such an attentive and kind service, anticipating our needs before we even realized them. Your dive staff and processes are professional, well thought out and make diving so much fun.”

“We felt very fortunate to come to Wakatobi for our 4th visit. Our excellent dive guide pointed out many creatures we had not seen before and others we would not have found without him. He was extremely polite, helpful, and listened to what we wanted in our dive profile. It was lovely coming back to see old friends and some new staff members who absolutely do their best.  The restaurant food was fantastic and if there was anything special we wanted the chefs would make it. Everything was definitely 10/10.

“If you are reading this to decide whether to visit Wakatobi, the answer is YES! YOU SHOULD! By the time you arrive at the resort jetty you will forget all about mundane things like emails, budgets, cars, and shoes.

“But that is just the beginning, the entire staff team is committed to ‘improving your experience’ every day. The meals are varied and delicious and they are always up to the challenge if you want something different. Always exciting to see which “towel creature” is in the room when you get back. And then there is the diving!! Starting with the House Reef and each of the many dive sites, you will be amazed. There are plenty of other activities if you need to convince the non-divers to join you…but they really should really get certified here to share in the magic.”
