Why You'll Love Diving In Sulawesi!
Diving Holidays In Sulawesi
Formed by fire, Sulawesi's four large peninsulas are mountainous and volcanic, with lush vegetation and offshore islands fringed by coral reefs. Off the western tip of North Sulawesi are the Bunaken Marine Reserve and Bangka Island. Off the peninsular's northeast side is the Lembeh Strait. Bunaken and Lembeh can be combined to experience the best of both in one holiday. Extend your holiday and fly via Java to explore its temples and volcanoes, or via Singapore and add a city stay.
The diving in southern Sulawesi is more remote and offers great visibility. It is either accessed by liveaboard or land-based from Wakatobi Resort.
Diving Sulawesi
The resort we work with in Sulawesi is located in a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, home to one of the most bio-diverse marine ecosystems on earth. The area commonly known as Wakatobi lies within the Tukang Besi island group, in Indonesia’s Southeastern Sulawesi region. These islands encompass some of the planet’s most productive and pristine reefs and coastal shallows. The title Wakatobi is an acronym derived from the first two letters in the names of the group’s four major islands: Wangi Wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia and Binongko.
Getting There
Direct charter flights from Bali to Wakatobi’s private airstrip provide the most convenient and time-efficient way to reach the resort. Following a restful overnight stay in Bali, this 2.5-hour flight provides generous luggage allowances, VIP transit lounge privileges, and includes all taxes and surcharges. Guests are met at the airport and transferred directly to the resort by way of a short van and boat ride, with staff handling all logistics of luggage transfer and delivery to your accommodation.
Activities
Guests here can do more than just dive. A range of recreational activities and programs are available to enrich each guest’s stay and to ensure that their holiday is a fulfilling experience. Water sports include kayak tours, paddleboarding and kitesurfing lessons. Ashore, there are activities from Indonesian cooking classes and fish behavior seminars to nature walks and a kid’s club.

See What Our Clients Say

Planet Dive gave us lots of options on the resorts, how to plan the dual-base holiday, land options, etc. We enjoyed the diving - the guides were very good - providing details of what creatures we were looking at on underwater slates. At Siladen, I was somewhat concerned that they didn't expect you to analyse the nitrox mix yourself (one day we didn't even have an analyser available on our boat). Lembeh Resort has a good photo centre. The general arrangements were good - everything was taken care of for us.
