Join Island Dreams' Ken Knezick on an ultimate scuba diving adventure…

Wakatobi Resort is on the Tukang Besi archipelago, in southeastern Sulawesi, Indonesia, at the fringe of "civilization." But this remoteness is what makes for pristine diving. None other than Jacques Cousteau declared the Tukang Besi Islands to be "probably the finest diving site in the world." Even less prone to hyperbole, the well-traveled editor of Undercurrent Magazine, John Q. Trigger, named Wakatobi "the epicenter of marine biodiversity."

Island Dreams' lucky group participants agree, "At last a place that lives up to its claim! A diving location to suit the most ardent diver. Wakatobi is unlimited diving at its best. If you look hard enough you can find just about everything you desire. Awe inspiring reef life so pristine that it is hard to envision. I felt honored to be one of the first to dive this wonderland." David Hosley, Tampa, FL.

"Please join me as I conduct my 13th tour to this remote diver's paradise. Come and experience the underwater beauty of Wakatobi for yourself...and be treated like visiting royalty!" Ken Knezick - Island Dreams Travel.

** Note about Airfare: The airfare component of these packages is based on our wholesale contract with Singapore Airlines. You get an attractive, reduced-rate, economy-class airfare. But there are restrictions. These tickets are specifically not valid for mileage accrual to any frequent flyer program; cannot be upgraded to Business Class or First Class using mileage or payment; and are valid only on the Singapore Airlines flights that stop in either Taipei or Tokyo. In exchange for these limitations, you save money on a great dive trip. Of course you also have the option of having Island Dreams arrange Business or First-Class tickets, or making your own air travel arrangements.

** Fuel Surcharges: During the past few years jet fuel prices have fluctuated wildly. The airlines have dealt with this uncertainty by imposing fuel surcharges as needed. Please understand that we at Island Dreams have no control over the price of oil. Airfares, including those in these Wakatobi packages, are subject to change until ticketed. The only way to protect yourself against future fare increases is to pay for your airline ticket.

** Passport Requirements: There are two critical issues regarding your passport for travel to Indonesia. First is that your passport must remain valid for at least six months following your planned departure from Indonesia. Second is that your passport must have a minimum of two (2) completely blank Visa pages remaining. If your passport is reaching full, please have additional pages added now. Failure to do so may result in your being denied access to the country!

Package without airfare: $3750 Garden Bungalow, $4125 Beach Bungalow, or $4525 Premium Bungalow

Prices per person, based on double occupancy.
Airfares and lodging styles are subject to availability.
Prices, schedules and itinerary inclusions are subject to change.
Package price includes one night of lodging in Bali on arrival.
The cost of any other pre or post-trip lodging is not included in the package and is at guest's additional expense.


Here is the complete basic itinerary:

Please note: Our basic package is priced to include one night of lodging, at Alam Kul Kul Resort & Spa Bali, prior to the air charter to Wakatobi. But Bali and Ubud are simply awesome places to visit, explore, and enjoy. Should you wish additional lodging, either pre or post Wakatobi, we encourage you to do so. There will be additional charge for such lodging, as it is not built into the package cost. Pricing will be dependent upon hotel selection, but a number of excellent values are offered, and Island Dreams has years of Indonesia knowledge and experience to assist you with the best quality and value lodging, touring, spa services, and more. Simply phone or email us for assistance.


The highlights of diving Wakatobi are the incredibly diverse and colorful reefs with their vast range of marine life, and the opportunity for one to experience truly pristine dive spots. Wakatobi Resort's house reef and unlimited shore diving are nothing short of superb. We expect it to stay that way, for the owners of Wakatobi Resort take a strong environmental preservation stance, and the entire Tukang Besi regions is now officially a National Marine Reserve. There are three boat dives per day, plus unlimited shore diving. If you wish, it is quite possible to log 40 or more dives during this ten-night stay.
