Crazy about coral?
Divers from around the globe are lured here to explore the private marine preserve outside the Wakatobi resort. And many of the same underwater sites that wow divers are equally as rewarding for snorkelers.
The crown jewel of these coral gardens is the Wakatobi House Reef. This vast expanse of shallow-water coral heads and seagrass meadows begins right at the resort beach and stretches for more than a mile to either side of the entry point. It has been named the world’s best shallow water dive and snorkel site.
