Best Family Dive Vacations – Biodiversity Eco Resort

Are you ready for your Best Family Dive Vacations in Raja Ampat!

Humankind evolved over millions of years, not in the urban chaos we live in today, but in raw, unbridled nature. The wild environment is our natural habitat and for millennia, before the advent of phones, televisions and computers, children played and learned outside in the natural environment.

As adults when we book holidays, we often seek peace and tranquility. We seek solitude knowing that it is good for our soul to get away from the structure of our daily urban lives. Sometimes we forget that it is not good only for us, but great for our children to get away from their daily grind too.

It is scientifically proven that playing outdoors is a benefit to our children’s well-being. Through outdoor play, children typically experience, an increase in their self-belief, confidence, learning capacity, enthusiasm, communication and problem-solving skills. Outdoor play is also great for encouraging children’s creativity and independence. Not to mention the benefits of being exposed to the elements – the vitamin D provided by sunlight, contributes to the bone development and stronger immune systems.

With all this in mind, Biodiversity Eco Resort offers all the ingredients for the family dive vacation of a lifetime! Bringing your children along with you holds real benefits for everyone. We do not want to be mistaken for some stuffy exclusive adults-only resort -we welcome families of all shapes and sizes with open arms. We’ll do all we can to ensure every member of your team has a fantastic stay!

So what is there for kids to do in Raja Ampat? Here are some of our favorite activities:

1) Beach Art

Get creative with your kids by hunting for seashells and then creating beach art with them. The white sandy beach is perfect for building castles, and the water is very shallow – perfect for kids to play and swim!
