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

“If you miss coming to Wakatobi, you will have missed the best that hospitality has to offer in a remote, pristine, special place. Nature, diving, unbelievable coral, and underwater formations were amazing. However, it was the unparalleled welcoming, hospitable, capable, friendly, and genuinely caring staff that made this trip one of a lifetime.
“Thank you for everything! Well done!”

“Ten magical days of beautiful snorkeling in wonderful conditions. The resort is perfect!”

“This was our 4th time and every visit has exceeded the last. Wakatobi is a paradise for diving which gives back to the environment, economy, and communities. 
“From the moment you step off the plane every staff member knows you by name. They are incredibly open, warm, attentive, and make you feel like family. The upgrades and continual maintenance have preserved a beautiful space – every aspect is quality – furniture, linen, stonework, boats, dive equipment, gardens.
“The food is excellent! Healthy, fresh fish, meats, veggies, fruit. I am amazed at the variety of menus and how you provide such fresh items! The villa was a good value. All the extra perks were really appreciated. The space, pool, our butler! Daily fruits, use of camera, we felt spoiled. Thank you to the gardeners, the boat taxi drivers, the carpenters, the cooks, and everyone behind the scene.”
 “What we love about Wakatobi is the consistency, and quality of the reefs, the dive experience, the accommodations, service and food. And of course, the view. It’s worth the travel time to get here.“

“The entire experience was fantastic. The spirit of the staff is uplifting, the grounds immaculate and the food/beverage selection is outstanding. Of course, the diving was out-of-this-world wonderful. The captain(s), dive crew, and the dive masters were great.
Don’t (please) allow the resort to grow too much. The feeling here is magical/unique. We feel it is important to retain the vibe! 
From a diving perspective, Wakatobi is truly “a wonder of the world. Beyond that, though, is the passion of the staff. Every member of staff is smiling, happy and cannot do enough for you. The spirit at Wakatobi is amazing!“

„We had a wonderful stay! The dive operation was true perfection. Our dive guides were top notch. The dive boat saves great and every detail is covered.
Diving at Wakatobi is the best dive vacation we’ve ever taken! It’s clear that the dive experience was designed by a diver – every aspect was perfection!“

“A truly wonderful stay. The reefs are amazing, so much to see it is so difficult to know where to start. Your staff are all great – not a single exception. Our dive guides deserve a special mention for looking after us so well. The dive set up is world class-unique ever. So, organized – it is possible to relax and know things are taken care of. Snorkeler get the same A treatment as the divers. Transfer and staff helping us along the way was great too. Impressive all around.                 

Don’t tell anyone about this place – it is wonderful! Save it for us!“

“We had a wonderful week on Pelagian. The diving was unique and varied. We appreciated the planning of the dive sites for maximum natural lighting. Our dive guides were so helpful – finding all the great “critters” both large and tiny. The driver handles the tender as if it were a high end sports car and always picked us up promptly and with a smile. Taking off my BCD in the water was greatly appreciated. The crew on the boat that we interacted with were terrific. Those two didn’t miss anything and were so positive with their super smiles.
Cabin #3 was very spacious and spotlessly clean. Great for sleeping but we retreated elsewhere the rest of the time.
The dive center manager is a wonderful asset for Wakatobi & Pelagian!!
Thanks for a wonderful holiday on Pelagian and Wakatobi Resort. We will return!“

“Much has changed since we were here last!  The pillow menu is an awesome idea! I took advantage of the down pillow like I use at home and slept very well.
“The staff is excellent!!! Very kind, courteous and accommodating. We were amazed how the wait staff learned our names…what a nice, personal touch.
“Lastly, the dive guides, boat captain, and crew were very, very, very good! We barely had to lift a finger getting into our gear. Thanks for the hospitality!! “      

“The resort, staff, and diving are still fabulous. As good as we remembered from our visit in 2016! We noticed a lot less trash floating by during our dives. It is a huge improvement. We expect it to be a result of education of the villagers and better trash management. If that is the case, Congratulations!                 

Wakatobi is the best dive resort we’ve ever been to. The submarine world of Wakatobi is outstanding and something every diver should experience!“

“This is the first time on Pelagian for us as we always do the resort. It was great for the muck diving! We enjoyed it.
Pelagian is beautiful – the crew was great. Thanks!“

„This was our third trip over 10 years. The Pelagian boat and crew are fabulous – working very hard to make sure your trip is perfect. Food was incredible, as usual. Can’t say enough how much we enjoyed ourselves.“

„Just beautiful! Great reefs, great dives and excellent service – great crew, thanks crew!
Wakatobi is where heaven was born!“

“Post covid, Wakatobi and Pelagian continue to exceed our expectations. Fabulous dive resort with top notch services and facilities. We will continue to return with glee!“

“The entire Wakatobi/ Pelagian experience was beyond compare. The Pelagian crew performed as a well-choreographed team; professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very fun! Hats off to the chef for providing an excellent choice of cuisine prepared to perfection and well presented. Our stewards were always available to serve the meals promptly and with big smiles. Our stateroom was clean and comfortable with an amazing number of electrical outlets for our convenience. Our guides did a great job pointing out all the fantastic creatures and making every dive experience easy. Our tender driver was always cheerful and made sure our dive gear fit just right before exiting the boat.”

“Our experience on the Pelagian was wonderful! All staff members were friendly, good-humored, knowledgeable and always helpful! Our cabin was clean, comfy and well-appointed. All meals and snacks were delicious, well presented (artfully) and served meticulously. Diving was sublime! Pre-dive briefings, boat operations, dive staff all great!! We loved the after-dinner videos and lectures. Explanations about sea life, creatures and behaviors were interesting and appreciated by all. Pelagian is by far the best liveaboard we’ve been on. We will recommend the Pelagian to our many dive friends. Thanks to all of you!!”
