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

“We have visited Wakatobi several times, and each time we find fresh experiences, amazing people and always something new to discover.  I want to express my special gratitude to unseen heroes of this resort – the housekeepers, security staff and infrastructural workers. Reefs are divine, staff are competent and friendly, and this exact combination of beautiful nature and human beings are the key that makes every stay so unbelievably great.”

“From the moment I arrived I was greeted with warm hospitality and a sense of serenity that stayed with me throughout my stay. The resort is beautifully designed, blending modern amenities with natural surroundings. I adored waking up to the ocean views, a bungalow with a view is a must. The diving experience is the BEST!! The team was professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about marine life. They guided us through amazing reefs and underwater landscapes. Out guide had a great eye for spotting the small animals. I appreciate that the resort prioritizes eco-friendly practices, from reducing plastic waste and supporting local conservation efforts. Wakatobi is paradise underwater and on the land.”

“I was so excited to visit Wakatobi and it has exceeded my expectations in every way possible.  It is the best diving spot in the world – a truly unforgettable holiday of a lifetime. From the minute we arrived, I could feel the kindness and attentiveness from all of the staff. After not diving for a few years, I was a bit apprehensive about diving again but I have to write about how kind, gentle, knowledgeable and brilliant our instructor was. At every dive he always met us with a big smile and always made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He was an exceptional teacher for my family, and I’ll always remember him as the person who reignited my love for diving.”

“Healthiest reef I have ever seen in over 20 years of diving. A top-notch operation committed to sustainable living!”

“The people make the difference. The diving/boat staff is very safety and environmentally conscientious. The resort staff does everything possible to make your stay comfortable. The dining room staff is amazing. All make you feel as if you were coming home, and you have VIP status. Thank you so much for another wonderful dive vacation.”

“This was our second visit to Wakatobi and it was lovely to see many of the staff still here. Everything has been amazing. The resort is run like clockwork and the dive boats and the dive staff run a very safe and luxurious service that is next level. Our dive guide has an encyclopedic knowledge of all marine life – the best dive guide I have experienced!”

“The hospitality is just wonderful and knowing you’re helping save the reef is the icing on the cake of a perfect dive and holiday experience. Thank you Wakatobi.”

Jaw dropping coral and sea life! As a snorkeler, I felt incredibly included among the scuba divers. The guides treated our boat’s snorkelers like royalty.”

“We have travelled to a plethora of places but none as spectacular and comfortable as Wakatobi. This is our fourth stay, and the experience was once again phenomenal! Wakatobi always delivers. The diving is perfect. The dive guides are the best in the world.”

“Exceeded expectations! We loved the roominess of our Turtle Beach Bungalow. Food was fabulous – so many choices and great for guests with a variety of food allergies – appreciated all the signage (GF, Vegan, etc.) plus lots of vegetarian options. Looking forward to our next trips to Wakatobi and hope to bring family members who are snorkelers but not divers. Perfect place for this combination of divers and snorkelers.”

“Fabulous trip on Pelagian! The accommodations were superior, as was the attention of the crew. Our every need was attended to. Fish and corals were exceptional. The guides found wonderful creatures for us and provided any aid we might need. The stars of this experience were the clean, colorful reefs teeming with life. A night snorkel was the icing on the cake. Fabulous!”

“Our Pelagian experience was excellent in all aspects and beyond expectation. The staff, the food, the accommodation on board is all first rate! And the snorkeling is among the world’s best.”

“The entire Wakatobi team surpassed our expectations. Their attention to detail is second to none! Every wish was met with speed and smiling faces. We hope to come back again. We were so very impressed by the standard of training as I come from a hospitality training background.”

“Once again, our trip to Wakatobi has been amazing!  There have been many improvements since our last visit, and it just makes it better each time. It was great to see familiar faces from our trip in 2018 and even before that. It’s a good sign that this is a great place to work. We will be back!”

“We cannot overstate how impressed we are with Wakatobi. The resort is top-notch, but the most positive aspect is all of the staff! So friendly and helpful – nothing is too much trouble. Wakatobi is paradise on earth and under the sea!
