I loved everything : the beautiful environnement between océan and jungle, the spacious and confortable bungalow over water, the delicious and complete food (and it's the only time in Raja Ampat that the food was delivered in the room, like room service!), the kindness of Erwin... I will surely come back there, it was so relaxing !

The island is beautiful and peaceful.Now it is low seson, but it was really good for us!The heart of the place is Ramdhan, nice,kinde,takes care of everything! He made us several activities and fantastic picnic on the beach what we never forget! Thanks to all the staff for their kidness and the delicious food,it was amasing! We felt at home:)

Tabari Dive Lodge is exceptional. Not only is the location breath taking, the snorkeling, straight in front of the lodge, outstanding, the food plentiful and very tasty, the sunsets mesmerizing and the bungalows authentic, quaint and private with hammocks and deck chairs to laze about on while soaking up the turquoise water and white, white sand, it is the owners Brigette and Jeff who really make this place special. They are so very passionate about the biodiversity of the area and go out of their way to make sure you can engage with it in a way that allows you to get the most from your experience. They truly care about the wellbeing of all their guests and Brigette make a mean cocktail while Jeff exudes excitement for every dive! Daily dive trips are arranged to a vast range of locations, many of which are excellent for snorkelers so don't worry of you are not a diver, I am not and had some unique experiences seeing a vast array of marine life I have never seen before. The lodge itself has resident black reef sharks- they talk about them as though they are pets and although I am desperately afraid of them, by the end of the holiday I was enthusiastic to see them while snorkeling and I did to my delight. There is also a number of turtles, vast living coral, fans, squirts and clearly tropical fish but most importantly they have a resident Dugong. These beautiful mammals are highly endangered and it is a very special experience to swim along side these graceful and gentle animals- we were so blessed to have this experience twice. Late afternoon is the best time to have an encounter with the Dugong. I actually think there are two as the first we saw seemed bigger and they do mate for life but are quite a solitary animal.. At low tide there is a beautiful deep swimming hole directly across the island accessible by a short walk through the coconut trees. It is 2-3 meters in depth and very refreshing.
