Lodges in Pulau Mansuar

We stayed at that incredible place for 9 nights Tabari is quite a precious discovery in Raja-Ampat area. It is on Pulau Merpati, a tiny island. It takes about an hour to get there from Waisai by a speedboat only. The trip like that will take for about an hour. Brigitte and Jeff, and their incredible team make the stay of their guests unforgettable and comfortable. Tabari means: - family-like environment away from the civilization - daily shark feeding - mind-blowing sunsets - picturesque house reef with turtles and other sea creatures - exquisite French / Indonesian cuisine - diving guided by careful and experienced staff at various sites - marine trips to neighboring islands - sounds of exotics birds and tides - Milky Way in the night sky, which one cannot tear their eyes away. The electricity is available in the morning and evenings; when it is on, the internet by Starlink works like a swing. The bungalows are cozy with the WC and shower. The real gigantic shell is adapted as a wash basin. There are canopies over beds. There were on almost no mosquitos during our stay in late July. At times you can spot some little cute geckos in the bungalow, they hunt insects. There is a hammock on the verandah of a bungalow, so it is nice to chill there enjoying the view. Room cleaning is on the daily basis. Bath and beach towels are provided, which is very comfortable. Meals are served 3 times day at the large table with all the guests seated round, then it is nice to discuss with other guests what has been seen and experienced during the day. We felt at ease like in a real family. Tea / coffee, cookies and some fruit are available at the kitchen during the day. The house reef is magnificent, very vibrant, diverse, soft and stony corals, many sea creatures! Bridget carefully organizes transfers from Waisai and back, she can agree upon a taxi from the ferry to Sorong airport, she is a helping hand with all the issues.

Incredible location

Nice Bungalow.

It was a very pleasant stay. The family was very friendly. The hut over the water was big and comfortable and from the terasse we could watch sunset and the fish in the water. The Wi-Fi was one of the best we had in Raja Ampat. The food was delicious and with variation, despite the isolation of the island. Herman was very helpful with planning of the snorkelling and diving trips.

The location is really exceptional, it's basically like being in paradise, you just have to walk a little bit to get into the water. Other thing to note is the porch of the bungalows with two hammocks where we spent many hours. We also really liked the dining area, which was very close to the bungalows and right in front of the beach. I will definitely come back if I have the chance.

This is a very special place - run by a very special family. It really truly is an eco-lodge. They have an amazing setup - which is a total labour of love. The rooms are beautiful. Lovely details and extremely tasteful. Fabulous location. The food is excellent and nourishing. The staff are lovely. Jack and Adecya are doing an amazing job. A fabulous way for us to end our month stay in indonesia.
