Wakatobi offers an unparalleled adventure experience, a fact well-known among discerning travelers. Though reaching this remote paradise requires a journey, our resort and Pelagian dive yacht provide a seamless and comfortable transition. Our dedicated team in Bali ensures a warm welcome, transforming the final leg into a moment of exceptional service.
“Our experience with the service at Bali Airport was overwhelmingly positive,” says guest Jane Corbett-Jones. “After some trepidation about Bali airport customs and visa requirements, we were met by a lovely Wakatobi representative who gathered our luggage and assisted us through all the customs checks. Other tourists were fumbling and looked stressed, but not us… we sailed through.”
Upon arrival in Bali, Wakatobi representatives provide a haven for every traveler. The team arranges arrival details, baggage handling, transfers, and overnight stays, offering guests a taste of the exceptional service that will define their stay. This same standard of care continues the next morning, ensuring a smooth, stress-free flight that lands directly on Wakatobi’s private airstrip.
Just The Beginning
This thoughtful care continues beyond the airport, ensuring that every detail is handled with precision and warmth. The Bali team is just the beginning. For seasoned guests, this standard of care is one of the many reasons they choose to visit Wakatobi time and again.
Guest Russel Johnson writes: “We recently returned from our second experience at Wakatobi and found the service and care offered by the Wakatobi staff to be exceptional in all areas.” His wife Joan agrees, highlighting how the Wakatobi team ensures an exquisite experience from start to finish. “This personal attention started well before bags were packed,” adds Joan. “It started with our Wakatobi sales representative, Linda. She was absolutely fantastic in organizing our bookings, payments, and so forth. She was competent and helpful in every step of the way.”
Private Flights


Guest flights to and from Wakatobi are generally scheduled on Mondays and Fridays – depending on the time of year. The flight to the resort departs Bali around 8am and arrives back in Bali around 3pm on the same day. You can view our flight schedule here (*there are some anomalies during the year).
Guests enjoy a seamless and comfortable journey with our exclusive flight services. The private, 2.5-hour flight offers a smooth and direct connection to the resort, complete with in-flight refreshments—snacks, soft drinks, tea, and coffee on the way in, and a full lunch on the return.

Wakatobi prioritizes a stress-free experience from start to finish. Guests enjoy a generous international luggage allowance on all resort flights, coupled with seamless transfers from our private airstrip to the resort, Pelagian dive yacht, and back to Bali. This ensures your belongings remain with you, at no additional cost. This is particularly advantageous for underwater photographers and divers with Closed-Circuit Rebreathers. To further align with your travel plans, combination resort/dive yacht stays are available in 7, 10, 11, or 14-night durations, coinciding perfectly with our weekly flight schedule.
For example
7 nights – *Monday/Monday or Friday/Friday
10 nights – Friday to the following Monday
11 nights – Monday to the following Friday
14 nights – Monday/Monday or Friday/Friday
For extended stays, our Bali team can arrange later departures, and private aircraft landings are available upon request.
