“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.”
“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.”
“Amazing place; direct contact with nature; very well managed; the resort is focused on diving, but I did snorkeling while my husband did scuba diving; we found the professionals to be extremely polite and focused on their specific areas; the rooms are a good size and well decorated; you have an incredible view of the sunset no matter where you are in the resort; at the time we went (August) and while we were there, we had a diver to accompany me in snorkeling and a diver to accompany my husband in scuba diving; the food is great and very tasty.”
“Nice size rooms with air conditioning. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Good food provided and nice snorkeling off the jetty. They can help with transport or motorcycle hire if needed.”
“Wai Island is beautiful and the staff is super kind, also the bungalows are amazing! From the beach you can see many different things like dolphins and coral reefs. Also the massage is amazing!”
“Fantastic stay! Comfortable and clean rooms, bedding and en-suites. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great selection of food options and fully stocked pool bar was great. Really nice pool to laze around and they even help with motorcycle hire to explore the surrounding area with suggestions for sightseeing and nice local restaurants. Ride to Blue river is a must!”
