4 Days 3 Nights Max. 10 travelers Meeting point: Matahora Wangi-Wangi Airport

About this trip

Wakatobi is an acronym for Wangi-wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia, and Binongko, the four main islands of a marine national park rich in coral reefs. UNESCO recognises the area as a biosphere reserve. You will snorkel along the reef wall at Hoga Island, visit a research station known to scientists worldwide, and cross the clear sea to Tomia Island. In Mola, the Bajo village over the sea shows the life of the sea nomads. The afternoon is for watching the sunset from a wooden jetty, and the evening ends with grilled fish and stories about Bajo and Buton culture.
