TABARI DIVE LODGE

We loved the remoteness, loved the stars at night, loved the staff, loved the diving, loved the snorkeling, loved the food. There’s so much marine life that hangs around all day to watch (including tons of reed sharks) the house reef is absolutely stunning to snorkel. They have cards, dominos, and dice to play games in down time. It was a fantastic time!

If you like drinking on your vacation, all they have is Bintang (beer) it would really be appreciated to have a selection of liquor as well. Maybe some other activities to do in down time, kayaks, or paddle boards, would be a good add to the stay!

Posto e struttura davvero belli, le stanze vengono rifatte tutti i giorni ed il cibo è molto buono. Lo snorkeling fronte spiaggia bellissimo tra coralli, tantissimi squali e pesci di ogni specie! Abbiamo fatto molte belle immersioni con Olen e il resto dello staff…tutti preparati e sempre sorridenti e disponibili. Brigitte è sempre presente per ogni richiesta od evenienza, solare ed accogliente…questo crea un ambiente davvero familiare. Sono stati 6 giorni splendidi. Grazie a tutto il personale.

Nulla

My wife and I recently stayed at Tabari Dive Lodge, and it was nothing short of magical. The lodge is tucked away in a quiet, peaceful location with its own private beach, offering the perfect escape from the hustle of everyday life. Every meal was exceptional—fresh, flavourful, and beautifully prepared. Our fist meal the evening we arrived was grilled stuffed King Prawns!! One unforgettable detail: while dining, we watched black-tip reef sharks and moray eels gliding beneath us in the water, It was like dining in an aquarium. The staff went above and beyond. When my wife wasn’t feeling well, they brought her meals to her in bed and even made her a soothing homemade ginger tea. Their kindness and attention made all the difference. Special thanks to Bridget, the owner, who was always around and ready to help with anything we needed. Her warmth and hospitality made us feel truly at home. As for the diving—absolutely world class. We experienced so many unforgettable moments, including a giant manta ray that hovered above us—a true bucket list moment! Even snorkeling just off the beach was incredible. We genuinely loved everything about our stay. If you're looking for unspoiled beauty, amazing marine life, top-notch service, and unforgettable diving, Tabari Dive Lodge is the place to go. We’re already planning our return! We stayed at the Swiss Belhotel before and after Tabari, it's a perfect transit hotel, clean and convenient. Here is the WhatsApp number for the taxi we used in Sorong. He meet us at the airport, took us to dinner and waited for us. Also picked us up at he ferry and took us to the airport at 6am, super nice guy. +62 812-8935-5038

The rooms are very open so bring a eye mask unless you are ok with waking up at 6am every morning.

Everything: From the food, the staff, the room, the vibes and knowledge about the reefs

NOTHING ! Everything was just perfect

The staff was very nice and helpful. The dives, dive guides and equipment was all good. The food was amazing, lots of different foods and just very tasteful. The view from the whole place was great and we loved the reef sharks under the restaurant. The hut was nice and comfortable!

Nothing to dislike, just remember you are on a small island with nothing around. If you want to do something you have to arrange it with the owners and they will be happy to help.

Every single thing at Tabari was perfect. Staying there was a real pleasure and definitely beyond any expectation. Brigitte, Jeff and their team welcomed and treated us in a very loving way that we felt like home all the time. All excursions were very well organized, the team very supportive and helpful during the under water sessions. They goal was to accommodate us make sure that every excursion is a blast. The home stay is lovely. Very intimate. The island itself is beautiful and the premises are very comfortable. You can definitely see that they put lots of effort to build this home stay. We were seeing baby sharks around the lodge many times per day. About the food, we had different meals and lunchs everyday and the food was absolutely delicious. Thumbs up to the chef. Even one day, we asked for a special meal and they cooked it for us. It was also nice to have French crepes for breakfast. We spent quite some time discussing with Brigitte, Jeff and the team and they are all very nice. It was a pleasure. I can’t believe that this is over, but definitely it’s a place I want to come back. Thanks for everything.

Absolutely nothing.

Amazing place - really good Service (rooms made every day, helpful with every little request). Bungalows locations are great, bed and mosquito nets perfect, owners super friendly and helpful. Also the divemasters are really good, passionate and great at finding critters. Oh ab the food is really beating all expectations you have when going to Such a remote place. We really loved our stay there. We miss seeing Baby sharks daily!

A bit more furniture in the big Bungalows to put Staff would be nice.
