Best dive spots I have seen! Dive shop is excellent. You can go snorkeling from the beach (swim 120m straight ahead). Very good food. Room was comfy (we had one with sea view) and clean. Staff was very helpful and welcoming.From Manado airport it takes 1h30 to get there and the resort can organize the transfer.There ist just some noise because of the dive center in the afternoon.

We had a great stay with Sven at the Panorama Royal. There is a totally relaxed, family atmosphere in the resort where you feel super comfortable. The food was very good.The diving was a unique experience with incredibly beautiful dive spots.However, if you don't dive or snorkel, I wouldn't recommend Bunaken as a holiday destination.

We stayed with Sven at Panorama Dive Resort for 5 nights to dive on Bunaken. It was really a perfect stay for us. Starting with the very tasty and varied food, through the great and friendly team to the large and very clean bungalows.We were also impressed by the diving itself and the first-class condition of the diving equipment. This was by far the best diving equipment we had on our Sulawesi trip. The diving groups were always small, the guides were very professional and were able to show us a lot of the underwater world and we felt safe at all times.You can tell that this small resort is run by Sven and his team with a lot of dedication and passion. This made it very difficult for us to say goodbye after 5 nights and we are sure that we will stop by again on our next trip to Sulawesi. Many thanks to Sven and his team for these great experiences and the wonderful time.

Great stay. The dive center is super square and the dive sites incredible. The welcome was great. The only downside is that a little juice or fresh fruit for breakfast would be perfect.

We stayed at Panorama for 3 nights and 4 days. The resorts is a short swim from an awesome coral but what made our stay special was the courtesy and the friendliness and willingness to help from Sven, Selly, Ilhan and the rest of the team. A huge thank you.

Diving center with a family team. Most of the staff speak good English, at least one on the boat always speaks very well.Sven takes good care of ensuring that you can always see something new.If you want, you can sit down with the crew on the beach in the evening and enjoy the sunset with a beer and arrack.Top! I'd love to come back ;)

Have just returned home after a lovely holiday, with the family, on Sulawesi ☀️We stayed the last week at the Panorama Dive resort, Bunarken.Can only give the best recommendations for this place. Things are under control.Sven has a very friendly, helpful and welcoming personality.There is a nice relaxed atmosphere between the staff.The cabins are clean and neat, the food is really good.There is plenty of opportunity for diving trips both in the morning and in the afternoon. You are always welcome to go snorkeling.There is a good walk, on paths, down to a small town, which is also nice to experience.

Beautiful place with very friendly staff! You can snorkel here at the super beautiful house reef. I can also definitely recommend a night dive, absolutely fantastic! Our vegan diet was also very well taken into account.

The dive resort in Bunaken was an outstanding choice for both diving/snorkeling enthusiasts like us and those in need of some relaxation. The diving experience was exceptional, with numerous sites teeming with an impressive array of marine life. I was able to explore underwater walls stretching endlessly, capped with vibrant coral gardens in the shallows, allowing for prolonged dives of an hour or more. This setup was perfect for spotting smaller sea creatures like nudibranchs, crabs, and shrimps. The night dives were particularly remarkable, offering sightings of unique marine life that I had never seen before. Snorkeling was also a delight, especially around the well-appointed house reef.Our accommodation ensured a comfortable stay with a spacious, air-conditioned room and an extra bed for our child. Although the room could get slightly warm at midday and lacked hot water, these were minor inconveniences compared to the overall quality of my stay.The all-inclusive dining option provided a variety of well-prepared, delicious meals every day, ensuring that all dietary preferences and needs were met with ease. The resort featured a clean, private beach that became exceptionally beautiful at sunset, creating a perfect setting for relaxation.The diving team at the resort was highly professional and adept at ensuring I could find the most intriguing spots. The diving equipment provided was well-maintained and reliable. Special thanks to Sven and Yobel.Overall, this resort offered a perfect blend of thrilling underwater adventure and serene relaxation, making it a top choice for a memorable vacation in Bunaken.

Many thanks for everything. Maria and Ignacio

Personal AND professional, perfect place for diving, esp. if you are into big dropping walls or a turtle fan (but of course there is much else to see). Thank you so much Sven and team for the great, safe time and non-offensive suggestions on how to improve my diving skills (I am OWD and had less than a dozen dives before I came here). They know the area inside out, and point out the tiny makro like seahorses etc.Nice wooden rooms with balcony, many with great views, and tasty meals with special supplements for vegetarians.Also nice for snorkelling, you can reach the reef even in low tide from the beach, and the shallow sea grass area is quite interesting, like a kindergarden for fish.Just one thing: if you come for any other reason than diving (or you have friends/family joining you who don't dive), this resp. Bunaken in general might not be the place for you/them since despite the beach being mostly clean, it is not a 6-star-ressort with a spa and waiters serving you fancy cocktails where you would enjoy hanging out for days and days just on the beach. I did not do much on the island other than going for morning runs, but it seemed very tranquil with few distractions/attractions on the island itself.PS: I don't have a great underwater camera resp. did not bring a video-torch, thus I added more pictures from snorkelling than diving, but diving definitely is fantastic with many great dive sites just minutes away.
