The remote location is what makes Wakatobi so special. It is
“Wakatobi was created with the vision to deliver the ultimate dive experience and was established following an extensive search to identify the perfect location for a dive resort in terms of geography, climate, oceanic topography and marine biodiversity. To ensure its future we then created one of the world’s largest privately protected marine reserves. That gives you some idea of the extent to which we will go and the attention to detail that goes into every aspect of the Wakatobi experience.”
“I got off the boat, took my shoes off and 11 days later, I put them back on. The food is the best food i’ve had at any dive resort anywhere in the world. The accommodations were awesome as well. and they WANT you to dive 70 minutes. They WANT you to take your time on your dives.” - Tommy Evans
