Wakatobi y Buton

This 7-night Indonesia itinerary showcases the vibrant coral reefs of Wakatobi National Park together with the lesser-visited reefs surrounding Buton Island, revealing the diversity of liveaboard diving in the Coral Triangle. Located in Southeast Sulawesi, the Wakatobi Islands are internationally recognised for exceptional coral diversity and remarkably healthy reef ecosystems. The reefs of the Wakatobi Islands are celebrated for coral-covered reef slopes and walls densely layered with hard corals, sponges and sea fans, supporting thriving reef communities and dense schools of tropical fish. Recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the region hosts extraordinary marine biodiversity, from clouds of anthias and fusiliers moving along the reef to turtles, reef sharks and an impressive variety of reef invertebrates. Along the coastline of Buton and its surrounding islands, divers discover quieter reefs with coral gardens, reef slopes and occasional exposed sites where schooling fish and passing pelagic species may appear. Together these areas reveal a rewarding combination of protected coral ecosystems and rarely visited dive sites in Southeast Sulawesi.
