Diving Highlights
Nowhere else do you have such ease of access to miles of pristine reefs with diverse topography and life! Wakatobi Dive Resort's house reef is world-famous. Some guests never go on a boat dive because the reef and wall right in front of the resort provides enough territory and diversity to keep them exploring for several days. There is no need to swim long distances. Wakatobi even offers 'taxi-boat' services to transport you up current to extended parts of the House Reef to explore or enjoy a beautiful drift back to the jetty.
Night diving at Wakatobi is fantastic!. One or two night dives (depending on length of the trip and weather) will be offered from the boats. You can dive any night on the House Reef in front of the resort (unguided buddy teams). Simply gear up in the diver preparation area and walk-in off the beach. Combine a night dive with Fluo diving - Experience a new dimension in diving so exclusive that more people have seen Earth from space than have seen corals in this totally new light! Experience a light show underwater with the use of fluorescent lighting during your night dive.
Wakatobi has more than 40 sites that are regularly dived, all accessible by their day boats. Boat rides range from 10 minutes up to a maximum of an hour for a few of the furthest sites.
Non-diving Adventures

Kayaking and Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) The shallows and mangrove forests surrounding Wakatobi are the nurseries of the reef, and rich habitat for a host of resident bird populations, invertebrates and colorful fish life. You can glide over these calm waters in a self-guided kayak or SUP tour, or go with an experienced guide who knows the best sights and sounds of this saltwater forest.
Onemobaa Nature TrailThe Onemobaa Nature Trail leads guests from the resort into a world of pristine greenery, and on to a local village on the island. Paths crisscross the interior, providing opportunities for nature lovers and bird watchers alike. Keep your eyes open for monitor lizards, which can often be seen in an area that has been set aside as habitat for these intriguing animals.
