Wakatobi Snorkel Week

Wakatobi far surpassed my imaginings. The entire experience was like no other, one of my best travel experiences.— Sue M.

Thank you for creating that amazing snorkeling trip to Wakatobi. It was, in many ways, the trip of a lifetime. The sheer beauty of the place will stay with me forever.
–Karen S.

Wakatobi is a luxury eco resort renown for it’s vibrant reefs, diverse and abundant sea life in a spectacular setting. You will enjoy a level of service, remoteness and tranquility rarely found anywhere else on the planet. Best of all, access to the the reefs begin right from the beach.

Wakatobi is located in S.E. Sulawesi within a National Marine Park that is widely recognized as having the highest number of coral and fish species in the world.
There are over 500 species of reef building coral in a wonderful array of colors, shapes and sizes that are home to schools of reef fish. This complex underwater ecosystem offers everything from eel grass and sea turtles to more exotic critters like octopus, frogfish and cuttlefish. Jacques Cousteau called it “Underwater Nirvana”.

This remote eco-resort has earned numerous awards and rave reviews. My past groups were very well taken care of and were reluctant to leave! The barefoot ambiance, the healthy,delicious meals plus the super friendly staff makes Wakatobi a real winner.

Besides surprising good beach snorkeling your stay includes four days of exploring the outer reefs by boat. There are over 40 nearby snorkel sites you will enjoy during each day trip. One feature I particularly enjoyed was being able to night snorkel right off the pier in front of the resort. I regularly saw octopi, scorpion fish, twin spotted lion fish and prowling lobsters.

This is a snorkeler’s dream vacation. You will have time to snorkel as much as you like as well as ample time to relax with a book under a palm tree or indulge in a massage at the luxurious spa.

 

Gourmet meals are included in a relaxed and elegant indoor/outdoor setting.
