Wakatobi
The name Wakatobi is an abbreviation of the names of the four biggest islands in this cluster: Wangi wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia, and Binongko. The island group is located in the heart of the Coral Triangle, right on the Wallace line, in the waters bordering Flores and the Banda sea. All these geographic factors combine to create the perfect environment to for an abundance of marine fauna and flora.
The islands of Wakatobi are blessed with white sand beaches and pristine waters, whose clear gradations of color mark their changing depths. And these waters are busy with life. According to several studies, the reefs in the area host over 390 hard coral species from 15 families, underpinning an ecosystem that provides protection and food for 590 fish species from 52 families. The park is also home to a large manfrove forest and seagrass meadows.
Wangi wangi is the biggest of all the islands, and is the location is Wanci, a city with a nearby airport which has daily flights to and from Bau Bau and Makassar. Good accommodation is also available here. There are several dive sites around Wanci where divers may encounter turtles in amongst the clouds of fish swimming around in the crystal-clear water.
Kaledupa is less developed than Wangi Wangi with fewer people, and fewer buildings. Kaledupa has a village feel-every house has its own front and back yard. The houses are all built according to traditional architectural principles, and blen nicely with the natural surroundings. There is also an area of lush mangrove forest in Kaledupa, as well as a Bajo tribe settlement where the people live in floating houses.
The fish-filled waters around Wakatobi offer relaxing dives over a coral-covered seafloor. Here, the sun light penetrates as deep as 40 meters, so the colors of the reef are vibrant even at depth. There are also challenging dives with strong current, on which advanced divers are rewarded with sights such as the schooling barracuda at the approach to the wall at Hoga Channel.
For underwater photographers, the Wakatobi seascape is a great place for wide-angle shots. The pinnacles Ali Reef and Table Coral near Tomia island are home to a large number of foliose corals. The sea floor is covered in hard and soft corals, schooling anthias and staghorn corals full of damsels. Bumphead parrotfish, cuttlefish and turtles all visit these thriving reefs and are regularly encountered by divers.
Above the water, day-to-day life in Wakatobi exudes a sense of peace and the days pass slowly. The local people’s livelihoods are fully interconnected with the patterns of the ocean. In the morning, the harbor is bustling with people unloading goods and fisherman returning from their nighttime excursions. In the evenings, playful children fill the white sand beaches, chasing crabs and shrimps for dinner.
