Explore some of the richest coral habitats on the planet with this resort-based trip to one of Indonesia’s finest snorkeling destinations.

Dedicated to marine conservation and centered in its own UNESCO-designated national park, the Wakatobi Resort showcases the famed marine biodiversity of the region. During this trip exclusively for snorkelers and led by Snorkeling Report’s team, much of our time will be spent exploring the shallow reefs that surround the nearby islands. Expect healthy coral in abundance, a rainbow of reef fish, and easy sea turtles encounters.

Discover some of the greatest marine biodiversity on the planet! Wakatobi coral reefs are the habitat for more than 340 fish and 100 invertebrate species, as well as hundreds of types of corals, sponges, and sea fans. The majority of the reef’s most iconic species are easy to spot at snorkeling depth.

The trip includes 12 boat snorkeling sessions in remote coral reefs on our dedicated boat, as well as a night time snorkeling adventure. Most of visited locations will be pristine coral plateaux and drop-offs where reef life thrives.

Enjoy luxury full-board accommodations at Wakatobi Resort in Palm or Ocean bungalows, combining the relaxed charm of a toes-in-the-sand destination with the comforts of a first-class resort.

"Planet Snorkeling was invaluable, from the earliest emailed questions (Guillaume was always quick to respond), to meeting us upon arrival, helping with luggage, check in, accompanying us with comprehensive information and support throughout the trip logistics as well as our snorkeling excursions. Miguel was delightful and a highly skilled photographer; it was fun snorkeling together to see the things he found camera-worthy. Planet Snorkeling surpassed all expectations and - will be back!"
~Christine & John, San Diego (California)
"We had the absolute best trip of our lives with Planet Snorkeling to Wakatobi Resort. We were a group of 4 couples from Colorado that love travel and adventure - we renamed the trip Snorkel Camp, as we were having so much FUN! When researching Wakatobi, I came up with the trip with Planet Snorkeling - I was amazed at how quickly Guillaume responded to my inquiry and answered all my questions over the months leading up to the tour. He and Miguel were fantastic tour leaders, making all the travel and transitions to Indonesia seamless. The underwater photos taken by Miguel are a beautiful gift and reminded of a wonderful snorkeling trip. We look forward to traveling with Planet Snorkeling again."
