Wakatobi Snorkeling Safari

Join us on this extraordinary Wakatobi snorkeling safari. The Wakatobi National Park, a UNESCO Marine Biosphere Reserve, was named by combining the first letters of names of four main islands in the chain.

Situated at the geographical centre of the Coral Triangle, the most marine bio-diverse environment in the world, the waters in this archipelago are among the most lively in the world.

Wakatobi is recognized as having the highest number of coral and fish species found anywhere on the planet and has one of the most impressive house reefs for any resort located in the world.

Join this 7-day group which offers spectacular days snorkeling in the heart of the Coral Triangle on some of the richest, healthiest and most bio-diverse reefs to be found on Earth.

This small group Safari is exclusively for snorkelers. Guided by a member of the Snorkel Venture team, we will explore world-renowned reefs abundant with marine life.

Our itinerary begins on the island of Bali, before continuing on to Wakatobi for our snorkel safari which is located in southern Sulawesi. We will handle everything from start to finish, meaning you can relax and enjoy every moment of your trip.

The resort is an ideal base for our snorkel tour – we have scheduled two 90-minute boat snorkel sessions per day with unlimited access to the house reef during our stay.

All trips are accompanied by professional guides, well versed in the marine life on the reefs. Our gear is loaded onto the day boats for us, and towels and snacks are provided onboard. Staff are available to help with water entry and exits, and all snorkel sessions have boat surface support to ensure our safety. Even while snorkeling the house reef, staff wait on the jetty, ready to collect snorkelers in the private “taxi” boat.

Wakatobi Resort is completely secluded, reached by charted flights from Bali which land on a private airstrip followed by a short speed boat ride.

Despite it’s location, the resort has beautiful luxurious accommodation built in tune with the environment using ethically and locally sourced materials and labour. The resort offers other creature comforts like a full-service spa, a jetty cocktail bar with amazing sunset views, a small library and audio-visual room and souvenir shop.

The food at the resort is refined, and the professional chefs combine fresh ingredients to create a variety of Indonesian, Asian and International dishes. All special dietary requirements will be catered for (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free etc).
