Experience a unique mix of luxury, personalized service and remoteness. Built and managed by an international group of dive professionals, and founded on the principles of sound, sustainable eco-tourism, Wakatobi is a multiple award-winning resort that offers guests all the creature comforts of the modern world in a secluded, unspoiled setting. This intimate, comfortable and finely tuned retreat accommodates only a few dozen guests in a mix of seaside bungalows and villas, all of which are cooled by ocean breezes, fans and air-conditioning. Serving as a base for your natural explorations our well-equipped and meticulously managed dive center offers the whole range from snorkeling to Nitrox and advanced technical diving.
The adventure begins only a few steps from the resort's white powder beach where a lush drop-off stretches along several distinct dive sites. Lionfish, clownfish, rays, batfish, crocodile fish, jawfish, ghost pipefish, waspfish, schooling jacks, turtles, mandarin fish, leaf fish and several species of pygmy seahorse inhabit a reef resplendently abloom with life. Just around the corner you can even see mating mandarin fish from time to time. Brilliant soft corals, oversized gorgonians, vibrant sponges and delicate tunicates in every hue create an intricately woven tapestry of color and texture. At night, the resort's famous House Reef, one of the world's best shore dives, explodes in a flurry of activity.
This two week adventure begins with our flight from St. Louis to Bali. Here we will stay 3 nights, exploring the local culture and scenic attractions. A charter flight will then take us from Bali to the private airstrip adjacent to Wakatobi Resort where we will spend 8 days exploring some of the finest diving available anywhere in the world before returning home.
