We’re privileged to call the Bunaken National Park home – and with that comes a responsibility to protect it. All of our diving and snorkelling activities follow a strict no-touch, no-anchor policy. Our dive team is trained in marine awareness and actively participates in coral monitoring, debris cleanups, and reef rehabilitation projects. We also support local conservation groups and contribute to research initiatives focused on protecting Bunaken’s diverse marine species. When you dive with us, you’re not just exploring a reef – you’re helping protect it for the future.
Community is central to everything we do. Over 97% of our team is Indonesian, many from villages right here on the island. We invest in their training, education, and wellbeing – because a stronger team means a stronger impact. Our menus feature fresh ingredients from local farmers and fishers, supporting sustainable livelihoods and reducing our carbon footprint. We also partner with local artisans for furnishings and spa products, keeping our sourcing ethical, traceable, and close to home. When you stay with us, you directly support the people who make this place so special.
We’re proud to be recognised by some of the world’s leading travel and diving organisations. These awards reflect our commitment to exceptional service, sustainable practices, and unforgettable experiences.
This World Habitat Day, we are celebrating the underwater homes that make our oceans thrive. Join Jacob as he heads into the Bunaken lagoon to maintain our coral nursery. We love inviting our resort guests to participate in this hands-on conservation by collecting coral broken by waves, divers, or turtles, and planting them on our metal nursery structures. This gives the fragile fragments the time and space they need to grow before we transplant them back onto the natural reef.

Bunaken is home to over 390 coral species and approximately 2,000 distinct species of fish. To illuminate its grandeur, this sanctuary holds seven times the coral variety found in Hawaii. The dramatic vertical reef walls plunge into the azure depths, cultivating a thriving habitat for a magnificent array of marine life.

Gliding over an Acropora garden feels like drifting through an enchanted underwater forest.
These delicate, branching corals are the true architects of the shallow reef. Their graceful shapes weave together to create peaceful nurseries where tiny reef fish, colorful nudibranchs, and sea turtles find safety and nourishment.
We can all be gracious guests in their home by streamlining our dive profiles, choosing reef safe rituals on land, and giving these living treasures the space they need to flourish.
