In the heart of Indonesia, where the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Tomini meet the lush shores of Buka Buka Island, lies a haven for diving enthusiasts: Reconnect Island eco resort. This secluded retreat offers an unparalleled experience, granting access to some of the most pristine and unexplored dive sites in the world. As the gateway to the renowned Togean Islands, Reconnect provides a unique opportunity to explore a vibrant underwater ecosystem teeming with life.

Buka Buka Island remains a hidden gem, its surrounding reefs largely uncharted. This offers divers the rare privilege of discovering and even naming new dive spots, adding an element of adventure to every descent. With over 30 identified sites, each presenting distinct underwater landscapes, divers can witness the remarkable biodiversity of the region. From vibrant coral gardens teeming with fish to encounters with schooling barracudas, blacktip reef sharks, turtles, and a plethora of macro life, the island’s waters offer a spectacle of nature, all set against a backdrop of exceptional visibility and welcoming warmth.

Reconnect Private Island Resort is committed to both its guests and the environment. Led by SSI-certified instructors and dive masters, the resort ensures a safe and enriching experience for divers of all levels. Whether a beginner taking their first breaths underwater with a Try Scuba experience, or a seasoned diver seeking guided fun dives, the resort caters to every need. Comprehensive packages include equipment, boat transportation, and personalized guidance, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the underwater world. Furthermore, Reconnect’s dedication to sustainable tourism is evident in its practices. The resort operates on solar-powered electricity and utilizes eco-friendly desalinated water systems. Local marine products are sourced through traditional fishing techniques, minimizing environmental impact and allowing guests to enjoy modern comforts while preserving the island’s natural beauty.

Beyond diving, Reconnect offers a range of activities, including snorkelling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and trekking, allowing guests to fully appreciate the island’s terrestrial beauty. Accommodations range from beachfront villas to glamping options, each designed to provide breathtaking views of the Gulf of Tomini’s spectacular sunsets. Despite its secluded location, Reconnect is easily accessible, a mere 30-minute boat ride from the nearest airport, with same-day access available from major hubs like Jakarta or Bali. This ease of access makes it an ideal destination for those seeking both adventure and tranquillity, a place where the untouched beauty of Indonesia’s underwater world can be experienced in its purest form.
