Tentang kami

Storytellers of the islands.

Wonderful Selayar runs small-group trips around the Selayar Islands and Taka Bonerate. We started in 2022 and are based in Benteng, on the main island.

How it started

A small community trip that kept going.

It started with a love for the island and a wish to show more people what Selayar has. The first trips were small community outings. Since then we have guided more than 9,400 travellers on 200+ trips, through the reefs, the remote beaches and the villages.

Today we run open and private trips, make the photos and videos our guests take home, and sell eco-friendly merchandise under WS Origins.

Our vision
To put Selayar among Indonesia's leading destinations, while keeping it sustainable, community-led and true to its culture.
01Show Selayar as a place of natural beauty and cultural depth.
02Offer travel that is authentic and sustainable.
03Support local communities through the work tourism creates.
04Send travellers home as advocates for conservation and culture.
How we travel

Leave the islands as we found them.

Moor, don't anchor

Our dive trips tie up to mooring buoys instead of dropping anchor on the reef.

Local people, local money

We involve people from the islands in every part of a trip, from the boat crews to the village land tours.

Light on the reef

We teach guests the basics: don't touch coral, keep plastic out of the sea, and bring a bottle you can refill.
