Cried With Joy

Wakatobi resort is magic! I came with John, who is a 93-year-old man. We both earned a dive certification and had the best time diving. John felt safe and said he was so happy he cried with joy. I am so happy that I was able to dive with him.  All staff were very helpful and kind and the resort is gorgeous. I have already recommended this place to friends and will be back.

Everything Was Perfect

I am a novice diver and my dive guide was amazing! I felt very nervous on my first night diving, and he made it a very calm and enjoyable experience. Truly on every dive the jitters dissipated quickly, and he never ever made it feel like I was a nuisance. I just appreciated it so very much. Everything was perfect.

Dive Operation is the Best Ever

“You are all doing an amazing job protecting an environment so special – you deserve praise & support. The entire dive operation is the best I have ever seen, and the level of service is outstanding. I feel I have been spoiled in terms of standards. In regard to the resort, the personal touches made a huge difference for me and my daughter Daphne and it made our trip unforgettable. We will certainly be back and very much look forward to it. Thank you Wakatobi Team!”

Exceptional

“Wakatobi dive resort is incredibly special. The food was exceptional. The service in the restaurant and rooms was impeccable, and the diving and snorkeling in the large wooden Wakatobi boats was amazing. It was so nice to rest in shade on a steady large boat with small nibbles plus a bathroom. We had an exceptional dive guide who always ensured we were comfortable, aware of all issues, happy and safe.”

Impressive Dive Guides

“We had a wonderful time on our second visit to Wakatobi. The staff is every bit as friendly and helpful as we remember from 2023. Food and service in the dining room was terrific. Our villa butlers were very attentive and quickly addressed any issues. We can’t say enough about how wonderful our dive guide was. She was knowledgeable and helped us find the fish & creatures we were hoping to see. Her breadth of knowledge was very impressive. She was patient with all our questions and very competent in resolving dive issues underwater and always kept her sense of humor.”
