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

“Wakatobi has been a wonderful place for us to enjoy our family holiday. The House Reef is really is amazing and fulfilled our needs for easy, relaxing snorkeling experiences. One thing that really sets this resort apart is the attention to detail – from the beautifully appointed villa, to the set up on the dive boats and the attentive service each meal time. There are carefully considered personal touches throughout. Food options were terrific – too good, I often ate too much! Thank you for making us feel so welcome.”

“Beautiful diving on some of the healthiest coral reefs I’ve ever seen after diving around the world. The staff are exceptionally helpful and kind. The bungalow is stunning with all the amenities you could need and the dive boats have similar levels of reserve and care.”

“Beyond exceptional. Traveling with an 11-month-old baby is not easy, but you guys made it seamless and stress free, not to mention fun and exciting. The staff are so genuine and go above and beyond instinctually! Thank you.”

“We have had an amazing week. Everyone was so helpful and caring. The cabin was comfortable, spacious and always clean. The food was delicious & imaginative – John’s diet was brilliantly accommodated. The diving was amazing, wonderful with guides who sensed the needs of individuals well. The dive briefings were informative, help on the boat was given cheerfully and nothing was too much trouble.”

“This is my third visit to Wakatobi, but my first time on the Pelagian. The boat and staff are awesome and exceeded my expectations in every way.”

“Wakatobi is our favorite dive resort, it is the gold standard of the industry. We originally stayed at Wakatobi with our 18 years old daughter in June 2018. It was an incredibly memorable experience. Amazing local staff and dive crew, beautiful house reef and surrounding reefs, delicious food, lovely accommodations and property. We have been fortunate to dive throughout the Caribbean, south pacific, and Indo-Pacific, and visit many well-run dive resorts. None compare to Wakatobi. It is exceptional, and we are thankful that we were able to return to Wakatobi and experience its special brand of magic once again. Thank you for another wonderful, memorable visit. It is a privilege to be a guest it such a beautiful, luxurious, unpretentious destination.”

“I have never experienced the level of service, quality of food, and diving experience that I have received on the Pelagian.”

“My second trip on the Pelagian. Exceptional hosts, fantastic diving and the reefs are as healthy or healthier than the first.”

“This was our first time staying at Wakatobi, based on strong recommendations from diving friends. We will now “spread the word” through our dive club associates. Everyone is friendly, helpful, professional, and had uplifting energy We particularly appreciated our dive master/reef guide. What a jewel. We love all the staff, housekeeping, boat crew, and tank handlers, ground keepers, etc. You have really created something special!”

“Thirty years a diver and this is without questions the best dive experience of my life.  Wakatobi is beyond compare. Healthy, lush reefs, abundant fish life & service that is unmatched anywhere! Our dive guide’s calm assuring presence underwater made our dives comfortable. His knowledge of the reef – both fish and species & fish/creature/coral behavior is expansive. There was no question he could not answer. The dive crew were wonderful. How carefully they handled our gear was much appreciated and noticed. Wakatobi is beyond compare. Healthy, lush reefs, abundant fish life & service that is unmatched anywhere!”

“Indonesia is my favorite place to dive, and Wakatobi is my favorite dive resort on the planet! I was here in 2016, and it’s even better now. I really appreciate the escort at the Bali airport – both upon arrival at the International terminal and especially at departure at Domestic terminal for charter flight to Wakatobi. Although I did not take advantage of the additional water activities because I did 3 dives each day, the addition of paddle boards, kayaks, and snorkeling boats give non-diver the opportunity to enjoy Wakatobi. I shall return again.”

“Thank you for a wonderful dive vacation. We love Wakatobi! It has set a standard that will be hard to beat in the diving world. We will miss the boat, the boat crew and especially our dive guide.  He did a great job. Meals were great, Bungalow was great. Thanks for a great dive trip!”

“Diving was amazing, best I’ve experienced, certainty in Indonesia and perhaps Australia and the Maldives. The villas retain an authentic character but include absolutely anything one requires. Sunset from our balcony was stunning and the opportunity to snorkel out from our villa to superb house reef unparalleled. Food was great and a terrific variety of international and a local option available.”

“We love the organization of the Pelagian. We had an amazing time. The dive sites are pristine. everything is top notch. We also enjoy how remote the diving is. It is very peaceful and good for the soul. All of the staff is wonderful. Thank you for the amazing dives.”

“We loved our time at Wakatobi, the resort staff was so lovely and made us feel at home. We love the diversity of gorgeous dive sites on the doorstep of a stunning relaxed luxurious resort. As photographers, we really appreciated having our own guide who was fantastic and looked after our needs so well. The dive team and boat crew were incredible, as were the restaurant staff and food. We loved the gorgeous “towel animals” in our room each day. The housekeeping staff were wonderful. We hope to be back and to experience Pelagian next time.”
