Hoga Island Dive Resort

Top choice in Sulawesi


Searching for that perfect barefoot vibe? Look no further: this relaxed place enjoys an idyllic location, with big, rustic wooden bungalows, a white-sand beach and hammocks galore. The ambience is warm thanks to the genial staff, food is fresh, plentiful and very tasty, and the dive shop is well managed, with excellent guides. All-inclusive dive packages are from 1,450,000Rp per person.

The resort supports the community in various ways, such as paying local children to clean up the beach to earn money for school uniforms as well as providing a boat for them to get to school on Pulau Kaledupa.

Don't confuse this place with other nearby outfits with suspiciously similar names.
