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

“We have been here twice so far and find that the entire experience at Wakatobi is so welcoming for us. It felt like returning home. The staff, both house and dive are so warm and friendly. The grounds are meticulous. The quality of the food is outstanding and of course the diving is first class. We can’t say enough about the dive boat crew and our dive guide was the finest who we ever dived with. He is so warm and personable, and we can feel his passion for diving and the marine life that he points out.”

“Thank you so much for the best live-aboard dive experience ever. We were so well cared for — the facilities, food and service on the boat were fantastic; the dive sites, dive guides and schedule were amazing!”

“There’s diving, then there is Wakatobi and the Pelagian. The best liveaboard I’ve been on, and some of the best diving in the world. The staff is knowledgeable, accommodating and excellent in every way.”

“Loved that you delighted and surprised me by the service and the amenities. You bring balance and class to diving operations and act as a role model for all.”

“The dive boat staff & dive masters were AWESOME. It’s 6 months after getting a new hip, so I had limits on how high I could step, no crossing leg or bending over too far. They were the BEST at helping me and keeping me safe from falling. I can’t thank them enough for all the “above and beyond” with smiles and courtesy to make my diving and boat transitions safely. I’m a 73 years old “repeat offender” who will be back in 2 years to celebrate my 75th birthday and 57th year of diving.”

“The reefs and especially the house reef was all wonderful, and what really made everything special was our dive guide. She was a wealth of knowledge about the reefs and their inhabitants. She always catered to our every need, had a great sense of humor, always smiling, considerate and helpful.”

“As always, Wakatobi and Pelagian met and exceeded our expectations for a wonderful dive vacation! The reefs were alive, the coral amazing and the marine life beautiful and fun to see. I certainly appreciate all the extra care and concern as I continue to experience diving as a partially handicapped person. Everyone went out of their way to keep me safe and show me the best way to continue diving. Thanks again for all your patience and help with my diving.”

“This was our second time at Wakatobi Resort. An exceptional experience from meeting our incoming flight to all aspects of our stay and our beautiful bungalow. It’s been a worry-free vacation chock-a-block full of endless undersea wonders, with exceptional diving among pristine coral reefs while enjoying luxury accommodations and food.”

“Our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. They truly have thought of everything to make for a delightful stay, and the reefs were perfect for snorkeling! Our snorkeling guide was excellent – very friendly, knowledgeable, and caring for our safety. The boat facilities and care of our equipment made for easy and comfortable outings. We enjoyed a chance to look through a telescope at the clear night sky – a nice bonus! “

“All of the staff have been absolutely amazing and have gone above and beyond our expectations.
Our dive master was the absolute best we have ever had. We had a wonderful experience and are looking forward to returning.”

“The best dive resort we have ever stayed at, and truly one of the best experiences my husband and I have had in all our travels. Your customer service is second to none. From the moment we were greeted in Bali by the Wakatobi staff and then throughout our stay at the resort itself it has been spectacular!”

“Everything on board the Pelagian was exceptional. Our every need was taken care of. The food was varied and delicious. The diving was beautiful, and the muck diving and the critter hunting were so much fun.”

“A class-act boat and crew. We have never been on such a lovely well-appointed live-aboard. The crew was exceptional, and the food was amazing. The best ever! We will never forget our experience with the Pelagian.”

“The service was friendly, professional, and timely. The diving was outstanding, the boats were comfortable; it was easy to gear up and easy exiting the water. Love the towel animals and sand art – a fun whimsical touch. We will be back for sure!“

“Words cannot express the attention to detail of the resort, dining and diving at Wakatobi – everything is perfect. Had my 600th dive here and have traveled the world since retiring. Love the upgrade in bathroom and space of the Turtle Beach Bungalows. The staff continues to amaze me with the level of genuine service and care – to learn all names in one day is incredible! Being recognized and hugged as a repeat customer is unbelievable! It’s beyond words. Thank you for the experience.”
