In advance of travelling

About three weeks prior to your visit, we will be in touch with a request to complete a form on our website (https://www.wakatobi.com/crm/essential-information/). This form provides us with the information we need to know to prepare fully for your arrival.

If you already have all your travel details, then you are welcome to complete this form now.

Climate and water conditions at Wakatobi

Air temperature is in general around 30 °C (86F) during the day and nicely cooler in the evening. Water temperature is a fairly cool 26-28 °C (79-82°F).

For divers who tend to get chilled easily we suggest a full body 5mm dive suit, especially for those making several dives in a day. This may seem excessive, but keep in mind that most of our guests do a full four dives a day all around 70 minutes long. You’ll get cooled off quite a bit!

For snorkelers we suggest a 3mm wetsuit for cold and sun protection or just a lycra skin for sun protection.

What to pack

When travelling to Wakatobi it is not necessary to travel with shower gel, shampoo & conditioner as we provide these in every room at the resort and all cabins on Pelagian. We also provide towels, hair dryers, extension cables, power plug adaptors and power converters should you be a photographer or videographer and need these.

At Wakatobi we speak in terms of barefoot luxury; relaxed and casual clothes are the order of the day. Dress is usually informal in Indonesia due to the warm, humid climate and lightweight fabrics are recommended. Hats and light long sleeve shirts (for sun protection), light windbreakers, wraps, or even a sweatshirt should also be considered as it does cool down at night. Many of our guests do enjoy to dress up a little for dinner.

Casual shoes, sneakers or sandals are all you will require at the resort. Our walking paths are packed sand and guests are asked to remove their shoes in common area buildings such as the restaurant and longhouse. On Pelagian we ask guests not to wear shoes inside the yacht. Therefore, it is not necessary to bring more than one or two pairs with you to Wakatobi.

If you have any luggage that you will not need during you stay at Wakatobi, for example winter clothes, souvenirs bought in Bali, shoes etc - then we will happily store these in Bali and return these to you when you return to Bali. We do have laundry services available.

Guests who are able to trim on luggage and travel with less than 44lbs (20Kg) per passenger onboard our charter flight will earn a USD 100 eco traveler resort credit that can be used towards equipment rental, bar expenses, boutique, Spa treatments etc. More info on https://www.wakatobi.com/faq/#luggage.

Tipping

Tipping is entirely up to our guests’ discretion, and is by no means obligatory.

For some nationalities, it is a cultural norm to tip (and not to do so feels uncomfortable). For other nationalities, the whole idea of tipping is uncomfortable. As we aim to make every guest comfortable, you can choose to tip, or not to tip, depending on what makes you feel good.

Of course, when given, tips are gratefully received by staff. The only regulation we have is that there is no personal tipping. All tips received are pooled and divided equitably.

WHAT TIME IS THE CHECK IN TO THE HOTEL?

For the Wakatobi Resorti, the check in is officially at 3pm. Your room may be ready before that time, but there is no guarantee. If your room is not ready, you may leave your things with the front desk and they will securely hold them for you while you enjoy the resorts’ amenities.

DO I HAVE TO WEAR MY MASK THE WHOLE TIME?

At this time, No.

When you are on your own, please follow all local laws.

IS BREAKFAST INCLUDED?

Yes, breakfast is included in both your Wakatobi accommodations

Do I need a passport or visa to visit Indonesia?

You will also need to ensure that you have AT LEAST TWO full Visa pages in your passport for the visa sticker that you will need to purchase upon arrival (see visa requirements below).
