They Made Our Stay So Easy

Welcoming and Friendly

“The Pelagian experience was welcoming and friendly. We were extremely well looked after. Nothing was any trouble for the crew. I personally consider that there’s not a more welcoming and friendly place to visit than Wakatobi, and that’s added to by the pristine reefs found on the numerous dive sites both on the Pelagian and at the Resort.”

The Dive Guides Are Exceptional

“The boat staff was attentive, and the dive guides are exceptional. They are able to locate and identify all types of macro creatures, and are very helpful with our cameras. The food is fabulous, and the dining staff is very personable and efficient. They know everyone by name and are willing to help you with anything.”

The Best Diving Experience of My Life

“Pelagian was by far the best diving experience of my life. All the staff is knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and flat out fun to be around! If diving is your thing, then the Pelagian is your boat, and Wakatobi is the place to be! Truly a trip of a lifetime!”

Unforgettable Trip Of A Lifetime

“After reading guest comments, we came with very high expectations. Wakatobi nonetheless exceeded them 100+ fold. Some of the things we loved were:

-The element of whimsy with the phenomenal towel animals that greeted us each day and the sand raking of dolphins and animals.

-The stunning beauty of the room and privacy, the marigolds in the dining area, the displays of the food.

– Service. Where do we begin? The dive staff was superlative in every way. Our dive master helped bring my level of competence in diving up to a new level in just 2 days.

– Attention to detail. The wait staff knew our name in one day. Our dive gear was set up perfectly.”

“It was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime. Thank you for memories that I will pull out when I need to remember how lucky I am.”

The People Make It Special

“The resort is so stylish and well-maintained, but what makes it really special are the people. 5-star hospitality, always smiling and making sure you have a good time. Good food and drinks, great variety and enough choice. The diving was excellent.”

The Reef Being Preserved is Most Important

“We absolutely hated to leave. The entire staff at Wakatobi from behind the scenes to the dining room, dive staff, front desk have been kind, accommodating, helpful, and very gracious. The concept of the reef being preserved is most important to us. Sustaining a resort of this caliber and at the same time reviving and preserving the actual reef is how we all must learn to as exist. I commend you. We do hope to return and known that we will find the reefs as we leave them today – growing, prospering, and supporting a community of people. We will certainly encourage our diving and snorkeling friends to come.”

All Sites were “The Best Dive Ever!”

“Words cannot express the beauty and joy of our experience aboard the Pelagian. This experience helped us become more mindful divers. The sites were all “The Best Dive Ever!”. Your crew is the most amazing we have journeyed with. Hard working, dedicated, and always asking if there is anything they can do to enhance our experience.”

“We came here for a once in a lifetime trip. Now, we can’t wait to come back!”

Pelagian Dive Masters Were Excellent!

“Our experience on the Pelagian was fabulous! Every crew member was happy, helpful and informative. They stopped whatever they were doing to accommodate your needs. They sat down with us and identified the multitude of sea creatures, coral, and fish that we viewed on these pristine reefs. Pelagian dive masters were excellent! They spotted so many unusual species, sea slugs, nudibranch, and shrimp. They dove nice and slow so we could see the minute organisms and focus with our cameras to take lots of pictures.

Every meal was absolutely delicious! The chef and his crew are top notch! I like how we had a choice of meals, great variety. Komang and Agung were such gracious servers! They were efficient and knew all of our preferences. Amazing job! A super feature by the crew was taking all of our wetsuits upstairs to dry and then laying them out on the deck seats when it was time for the dive briefing. They did the same for our camera equipment, getting it on the boat. I loved having the deodorizer available as we rinsed after each dive. Loved the informational sessions at night and the entertaining sea life videos!”

The Healthiest and Most Beautiful Reefs

“Wakatobi hits the mark in all respects; a beautiful location, relatively easy to get to, great accommodations, service, food, and most importantly, the diving. The dive staff are all excellent and professional–and warm at the same time. No corners are cut on safety! The reefs here are the healthiest and most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Please keep doing what you’re doing, and I’ll keep coming back.”
