Established in 2002, Divers Lodge Lembeh has been fulfilling divers’ dreams. Located on the most beautiful part of Lembeh Island, between the Lembeh Strait and Sulawesi Sea, surrounded by protected forest, and only an hour and fifteen minutes away from the Manado Airport. Linda, Rob, their children Adrian and Indah, along with their two pet dogs Cantik and Ganteng, live permanently at the resort. They warmly welcome you as their personal guests. Each and every bungalow and the restaurant offer a great view at the sea, forest and mountains. Our experienced guides are happy to help you to spot the most amazing critters, and our private guides and unlimited dive time guarantees you can take all the time you want. Our custom-built boats are spacious and have everything you need – towels, water, tea, coffee, snacks, and safety equipment.
PRIVATE DIVE GUIDES
Our experienced, English speaking dive guides will give you all the time you want, to discover and enjoy the famous “Critter Capitol of the World” at your own pace. Every buddy team will have their own guide. They are happy to help you to find everything on your wish-list: mimic octopus, hairy frog fish, pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs, harlequin shrimps, ghost pipe-fish, boxer crabs, flamboyant cuttlefish or others? They will find them if they are around.
Furthermore, every guide in Divers Lodge Lembeh has made at least 500 dives and gained extensive experience working with underwater photographers. Additionally from October – April we also offer amazing coral and wall dives at the Southeast side of Lembeh Island and within Lembeh Strait. These dive sites are comparable to Bangka Island.
PRIVATE BOAT, ALWAYS
Our boats are designed by divers and built for diving. They ensure you have a comfortable, fast, and safe trip to all dive sites of Lembeh. We offer private boats for all guests, whether you come alone, with your spouse, buddy, or group of friends. You can create your own schedule, decide when and where to dive, and dive without time limits, as long as it is within the safety standards of no decompression diving. If you meet new friends and want to share the boat and costs, we will adjust the schedule accordingly. The cost for this unique service is IDR 1,200,000 (EUR 75) per day, per boat, in addition to the number of dives you make. Our rates are lower than any other dive resorts you will find.

BEAUTIFUL NATURE, PRIVACY & COMFORTABLE LIVING
Divers Lodge Lembeh is surrounded by 25 hectares of tropical nature reserve and only 4 percent of it, is used by the resort itself. The resort is a true butterfly paradise and over the years more and more birds made it their home. Tarsier Spectrum (very small primates), Civets and Monitor lizards are permanent residents here.
Our bungalows are well-spaced, ensuring plenty of privacy and each with a private balcony that offers spectacular sea views of Lembeh Strait and Walenekoko Bay. The neat and spacious rooms have western-style bathrooms, excellent beds, hot showers, and free laundry service, ensuring you have a comfortable stay. Air conditioning is installed in a few of our larger bungalows, although we believe it’s unnecessary. Prices start from IDR 875,000 per night, per person, on a full board basis. Detailed descriptions of the bungalows can be found here.
The kitchen of Divers Lodge Lembeh is keeping up her reputation of freshly prepared, tasty and healthy meals. The Indonesian dishes really taste Indonesian, without being too spicy. Instead of the traditional frying of the vegetables we also serve them steamed. There is extra home-made sambal for the guests who like it “very hot”. Pastas, potatoes and home-made bread are served to offer an alternative for rice and noodles. We do not use MSG and palm oil in our kitchen and all food is Halal. Of course we also cater for vegetarians, vegans and guests with other special dietary requirements. Have a look at our cuisine page to get a taste of our dishes.

Below is a short movie made by Marcelo Johan Ogata during his time at Divers Lodge Lembeh. We thank him for this footage! Enjoy.
We regret to inform you that we had no other option but to close our Weda Resort at Halmahera. The impact on nature from exponentially growing industrial activities has made Eco-tourism in the area unfeasible for the time being. However, our foundation will continue its educational initiatives and kindergarten programs. If you stay with us, you directly contribute to our education and conservation projects.
