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

“We have seen a lot in this planet, but this is a very special place. We had wonderful dives and the best dive guide we ever had. His knowledge about marine life was amazing and he is the nicest and kindest person ever. We explored a new dive site at Kaledupa reef, which was amazing! We gave it the name of our daughter Leni, who did her first ever dive here in Wakatobi on October 15th, 2024.

The dive site itself is a beautiful reef, colorful coral and beautiful pinnacles connected with the sloping reef. When we were back on the surface, we all agreed that it was like a wonderful, giant playground. So, the name was easy to find: Leni’s Playground. Wonderful site that we would highly recommend to other divers. We would like to share this experience to everyone. Thank everyone at this special place to make this an unforgettable holiday and giving special memories! This is surely not the last time for us to be here.”

“The Pelagian experience surpassed all our expectations. We have always avoided liveaboards, but this has changed our minds. We suspect, however, that Pelagian may have spoiled us, and no other boat and crew will be as wonderful. The warm dry towels after every dive was delightful. Food was delicious. Service fabulous.”

“Truly spectacular! Crystal clear water with an amazing variety of fish and corals. Loved all the staff on land and on the boats. It is a beautiful location, and I truly hope I get an opportunity to return.”

“This is my third visit to Wakatobi and as usual it did not disappoint. It is without equal! Great diving, great food, exceptional staff and service; personalized attention! Everyone is friendly and welcoming and gets to know each guest by their name – this is very impressive. It is so nice that boats are not crowded, and hot face towel and clean, dry towel after each dive makes it all very special! The entire boat crew is exceptional and very knowledgeable.  I say without hesitation that Wakatobi is a terrific destination, and I recommend it to all of my diving friends.”

“Dive sites were beautiful. The staff was amazing. The accommodations were fantastic. This second trip to Wakatobi was as wonderful as our first.”

“We are thrilled to return to the Pelagian and Wakatobi. The coral is abundant, healthy and brings to mind what the seas were like thousands of years ago. The fish are in abundance as well. We love the variety of hundreds of small species. The boat so well engineered. The chef, the dive director, the divemasters and small boat captains are experts, very kind, very hard working, and we have loved this trip. Once again, worth the travel, the price and we hope to return again.”

“This has been on our bucket list for too long. Now we just need to plan our next visit.”

“We’ve had a wonderful stay – everyone is kind and welcoming and also very helpful. Dive staff is exceptional. Everyone on the boat was terrific, kind and exceptionally competent. Dive sites were also exceptional we cannot express our gratitude enough. The food and dining room staff were also wonderful – every person we’ve met we’re not sure how you find such kind and considerate people – but what a great group of people.”

“This was our first experience in Indonesia. Wakatobi Resort certainly has put a pretty high standard for the rest of our trip. The DM, boat crew, housekeeping, kitchen, and dining room staff were top notch. We have never been anywhere on dive trips with this type of service. The diving was spectacular. The food amazing. The whole experience well surpassed our expectation. Thank you for a fantastic trip.”

“The staff is amazing. We’ve never experienced such service at a dive resort, especially on the boats.”

“This is our 5^th group we have brought to Wakatobi. It gets better each time we are here. Great diving, great service, great food & accommodation. Love the hammock and patio. The list of great qualities is extensive from the amazing staff, excellent food, wonderful accommodations, spacious dive boats to the world class diving. The dive service for gear handling is the best anywhere. It makes those of us leading diving groups look like heroes! Can’t wait until our next visit.”

“We had a wonderful time! We enjoyed the diving, food, and most of all the people! You all took such great care of all of us, and we really appreciate everything. The dive boats were some of the most fun we’ve been on. We were a rowdy, snarky group who appreciated our dive guides’ humor. We also appreciate the village folks allowing us to visit their homes. We definitely will recommend to our friends and come back.”

“Best diving experience in over 30 years. Excellent dive sites, friendly & knowledgeable staff both on board/ land and underwater.”

“Pelagian and Wakatobi are macro diving at its finest. The service was outstanding, a great staff  and the kitchen staff addressed our food requests”

“We have heard great things about Wakatobi and Pelagian. I was not disappointed. The staff are all so friendly and accommodating. The divemasters have great knowledge of the reefs and made each dive special. We felt well taken care of, both during the dives and before and after each dive. The staff did a great job handling all the dive equipment, making it almost effortless to go diving.”
