Easy drop-in snorkelling off the Mbokita jetty and the reefs around Sombori.
The reefs around Sombori are shallow, calm and easy to reach, which makes this more of a casual snorkel than a technical dive trip. The rainbow stilt village of Mbokita is a popular base, with coral and fish right off the jetty, so you can step in from the boat and start drifting over the reef straight away.
Other reliable spots sit near Gua Berlian (Diamond Cave) and along Pantai Pasir Panjang on the Labengki side, where you will see colourful reef fish and patches of hard and soft coral in the shallows.
This is a snorkelling area first. There is no established dive shop on the islands, so if you want scuba you generally need to arrange tanks and a guide in advance through a Kendari or Morowali operator rather than turning up and renting gear.
Getting there
Reached only by boat, the reefs are visited on island-hopping days during a multi-day trip. Most trips run from Kendari, with a 45 minute to one hour drive to the harbour and then about one hour by speedboat (around three hours by wooden boat), while some start from the Morowali and Bungku side; in all cases it is several hours by boat to reach the area. Your boat moves between snorkel stops through the day.
Best time
Late morning to early afternoon gives the best light and clearest water for snorkelling. The dry season, roughly April to November, brings calmer seas and better visibility than the wetter, windier months.
Good to know
Bring or confirm your own mask and fins, as rental quality on the islands is hit or miss. Use reef-safe sunscreen or a rash vest, do not touch or stand on the coral, and arrange scuba in advance if diving matters to you, since there is no walk-in dive centre.
Most visitors snorkel, as the reefs are shallow and there is no established dive shop on the islands. Diving is possible but needs to be arranged ahead through a Kendari or Morowali operator.
Expect colourful reef fish and a mix of hard and soft corals in the shallows, with the easiest entry right off the Mbokita village jetty. Visibility is best on calm, sunny days.
Yes. The water is generally calm and shallow, and life vests are easy to arrange, so first-timers are comfortable here.
