After a month traveling through Indonesia, we found our home here. They welcomed us like two more of the family, we were very comfortable. We were able to not only certify me as open SSI, but also do eight dives with exceptional quality and safety.Right in front of the bungalow there is a spectacular bay to snorkel, if you don't dive, this is also your place, you only need a mask, tube and fins!100% recommended both to be calm as a couple, and to become certified to dive, simply dive or snorkel.The food was delicious and more than abundant.The human team is 10!We can't wait to return ♥️

Will and his team made our week the best. Besides the fact that Raja Ampat is dreamy, they made it even better. Very friendly and always willing to help. They are a great team!I could not recommend this stay more.We got certified as Open Waters there and had a great time. If you want to get certified, it's a great place to do it. Also, the diving was awesome, we had a lot of fun.The food is amazing too.Thank you so much for the best week ever!

Magnificent experience! We stayed at the Turtle for 7 nights and enjoyed it from the first to the last day.The water is incredible, the pier is magnificent, from there diving and snorkeling is a must! We took various boat excursions, mainly around the island of Kri to discover other beautiful snorkelling spots, but we also went to Piaynemo and it was all well organised, with snacks and packed lunches and staff who were always very helpful .Other guests told us great things about the diving on site. We limited ourselves to renting fins (a pair: 50,000 rp/day).The food is as good as they say. Always varied proposals, everything well cooked and spiced, plentiful and tasty.We found beer, to be purchased separately, only on the first evening, then the fridge was no longer filled. We didn't even ask for it and we convinced ourselves that an alcohol-free week wouldn't hurt us.The bungalow was very beautiful, large, comfortable and with a priceless view.We recommend it without any hesitation to those who want to experience the joy of snorkeling in Raja Ampat on a magnificent island, in a Homestay that is a small pearl of hospitality and beauty.Book on Stayrajaampat.com!

We spent 8 nights at Turtle Homestay and loved the experience!Diving with Will, Rupus, and Yonas was amazing. They gave us the opportunity to dive as much as possible and made the experiences really easy and fun.Will was especially helpful before our stay confirming that there was space for us to dive lots, and after our stay with any SSI diving needs.Special shoutout to Umbar, the boat captain, for navigating the wavy seas and for always helping us get the diving gear on. It was very much appreciated.The cooking staff always made great meals. On my birthday, they made a cake which was so thoughtful and kind.There were 10 or so other guests and it was so awesome to have family dinners and make friends from around the world.

What a beautiful piece of earth. We had a great time here at Turtle Dive. Everything was clean, the food was plentiful and very tasty. The staff was super nice. We enjoyed every minute. We even saw 3 spotted cuskus and the reef right in front of the door is so colorful and varied. Sharks and turtles could be seen every day. At night you could observe the bioluminescence in the ocean.
