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

“We have been very happy at Wakatobi. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The bungalows are very nice. The food is excellent and very well diversified and the team in the restaurant is service oriented. We also visited the jetty bar, a very nice place.
“The support of the diving team was great, and our guide for snorkeling was first class. We appreciated also the opportunity to learn some words in Indonesian.
“The effort for our romantic dinner was amazing and unforgettable, thousands of thanks! Thanks a lot also to our guest experience consultant, Stefanie, for the excellent support!
“Wakatobi is a paradise, Terima Kasih!!!”

“Fabulous vacation. Diving is superb although more current than we are used to. Our dive guide and the boat crew were awesome. Our guide was great in pointing out lots of creatures and he took good care of our group.
“Dining staff were so personable. The food is very high quality, and the varied options were appreciated.
“Overall, a truly excellent experience and we will be back.”

We are blown away by the standards of Wakatobi. Every detail was thought out in advance. Food, housekeeping, longhouse staff, tour staff, media presentation materials, basically everyone and everything exceeded expectations.”

“Lovely facility Great Service! Everywhere/Everyone! Attention to detail: Welcome at the airport. High quality equipment. Sand art. Diverse menu of yummy food.Hammock and lounge chairs and patio. Loved the outdoor shower. Grounds were meticulously maintained. Our guide was very thoughtful, caring, and professional! And a 40^th anniversary message on arrival and cake!
“Ifound my Heaven! (on several of the dives!).”

“Beautiful as always. Pelagian is impeccably well organized. Lovely staff, unbelievable attention to detail and personalized care. It is better than most 5-star hotels. The diving in the resort is easier than the diving from the tender, but as is the “Wakatobi Way” everything is done to help with the set up. All staff are fabulous – friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Serious chance of causing diving addiction!!”

“Everything about Wakatobi was above and beyond my expectations. The staff and service were amazing all the way down to the finest detail. Obviously, Wakatobi is perfectly catered to divers, but as a snorkeler only, I was so impressed that we were not left out of the details or full experience. This was the best snorkeling I’ve ever done!
“Our guide did an amazing job guiding us and also giving us the freedom to explore. She was there to answer our questions and show us beautiful things that we might have missed, without micro-managing our experience.
I absolutely loved the art in the sand and the different towel art on the bed every day. I took pictures of them every day for my social media because I just loved that extra attention to detail. Can’t wait for my next trip!!”

“Our stay was phenomenal. It was paradise in every sense of the word. As a non-diver I was thrilled to be here – the house reef is beyond description for snorkeling! Thank you so much for the incredible level of service you provided us. Every single detail was attended to, and we feel incredibly spoiled. Wakatobi is an unforgettable experience.”

“The resort is beautiful. We are vegan and we appreciated the vegan foods that were made just for us. Otherwise, everything was top notch; the serving staff and actually everyone from the gardeners to security were very friendly.
“I like that Nitrox was free. Very smart keeping every diver safe. The dive guides did a wonderful job as did the boating staff. All were kind and helpful.”

“We were absolutely thrilled to return to Wakatobi after our first trip in 2019. We’ve been thinking about our experience here ever since. Our time here surpassed our expectations. We could not ask for a more spectacular location surrounded by incredibly gracious and kind staff and team members.
“Thank you so much for all the delicious gluten-free options, even on the dive boat! We are especially grateful to our divemaster, for his patience, skill, and endless knowledge of creatures on the reef. The entire dive crew couldn’t have been more attentive. Their help and consideration with every dive were much appreciated. We felt welcomed into the community and are full of gratitude for Wakatobi. Thank you! We will be back!”

“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.”

“Always enjoy your emails. They take me back to ‘Wakatobi in my mind.’ This is our 3^rd visit and we are so happy. The management is doing everything right to keep this little paradise going.
“We wish you all well and hope to return soon. Thank you!!!”

“This vacation was beyond our dreams! The MOST beautiful snorkeling ever and Wakatobi has the best service and staff of any of our vacations. Our guide made our snorkeling such a wonderful experience. She shared our joy in discovering new things and helped us appreciate the sea life in so many ways. Getting to learn from her and know her was a highlight of our trip.”

“Pelagian: an excellent boat and crew. Superb cuisine. Food choices excellent.”

“A once in a lifetime experience. It’s a close to heaven as you can get in this world! As a seasoned traveler, it’s rare to be this delighted with a new destination. The location, the accommodation, and the staff have made this such a memorable experience. Having staff remember your name, the name at the doorway, and the excitement to see tomorrow’s towel animal, all combine into a once-in-a-lifetime holiday.
“The diving is five stars! The process is so well organized and painless. The boat crews were fun and always there to help. Our guide was so lovely, knowledgeable and took great care of us
“You now have a Wakatobi travel agent in Canberra who will tell everyone to visit. Thank you for making my dreams come true!”

“Wakatobi has accomplished something truly remarkable. Not only have they proven that a sustainable model is possible, but they have also proven it can be done at the highest standards anywhere. Wakatobi is beyond comparison. Not to be missed. Every community and dive operation should study their example.”
