Experience Beautiful Nature, Privacy & Comfortable Living
Divers Lodge Lembeh is surrounded by 16 hectares of tropical nature reserve and only 1 hectare 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.

Reforestation
We started building Divers Lodge Lembeh in 2002. Very soon we were able to start planting trees at this peninsula. Earlier people tried to make gardens here by the traditional slash and burn method. However the soil was not good for growing much more than some coconut palms.
At the left, the situation when we came here. The right image shows how it looks now. Unfortunately the location of the resort was not visible yet in the data of 2002. That part was completely barren when we started. But it shows on the recent image.
Private Dive Boat, Always
At Divers Lodge Lembeh, we offer each guest or group their own dedicated dive boat, operated by our experienced staff. Our boats are designed by divers and built for diving, with a capacity of 8 divers plus crew. Whether you come alone, with your spouse, buddy, or group of friends, you’ll have exclusive use of one of our boats. If you meet new friends and want to share the boat and costs, we will adjust the schedule accordingly.
This allows you to create your own schedule, decide when and where to dive, and dive without time limits (within safety standards). The cost for this unique service is IDR 1,550,000 (EUR 93, USD 102) per day, per boat, in addition to the number of dives you make. Boat sharing is available upon request and subject to availability. The cost is divided among the number of divers on the boat. Our rates are lower than any other dive resorts you will find.
Our custom-built boats are spacious and have everything you need – towels, water, tea, coffee, snacks, and safety equipment. For dives scheduled after 13:00, we highly recommend enjoying our convenient and delicious boat lunches, allowing you to maximize your diving time and experience the best of Lembeh’s underwater wonders without interruption.

Sampai jumpa (see you soon)!
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.
