If you like the following, this trip might be for you:
Girls Only Trip! 💪🏽
This is the absolute first time organise a Girls Only trip! It just seemed like such a good idea to get rid of the alpha males in wetsuits and let the stronger gender to its thing in style. 10 enthusiastic women together on an island, what could go wrong?
Top Class Diving 🤿
The reefs around Bangka are what you'd expect them to be: pristine, colourful and quiet. It's an absolute macro hotspot with some big animals such as reef sharks cruising around as well! Trips to Lembeh and Bunaken are included in the price too!
Italian Design 🇮🇹
Coral Eye Bangka is a stunning paradise. Designed by Italian interior architects Studio ARC.S Milano, it combines simplicity, relaxation and blissful comfort in a dynamic space where social areas, work spaces and private zones merge seamlessly.
Dynamic Group ⚡
We love bringing interesting people from different backgrounds, regions and cultures together! This trip will gather 10 women from different places in the world, adding a human experience to the underwater magic and top accommodation.
Budget Friendly 💸
We have crafted a very competitive price for 20 dives, two day trips, an experienced trip leader and a spectacular accommodation. Because we love our ladies and because we want to offer trips to the widest range of people possible! Hard to find anything better!
Coral Triangle 🇮🇩
Located in the heart of the Coral Triangle Indonesia's stunning reefs are home to an incredible array of marine life that is found only in this region: invertebrates, turtles, sharks, rays and hard and soft corals for days. Above and below land, colour is the word here.
First Time!
This is our first Girls Only trip. By hopping on you get to shape it and experience it right from the beginning!
How can I miss this?
"Coral Eye is a spectacular resort with large open spaces, beautiful rooms made out of local materials and top food. The diving around the island is Indonesia at its finest: colourful reefs and tons of diversity. I cannot believe I have to stay home for this one, but Girls Only means Girls Only." - Marcel Wilpernig, BTM Travel Founder
Untouched Beauty
The reefs and waters we will be diving are pristine and untouched: it is truly diving as it used to be in a lot of other (now heavily affected) places. The abundance of ocean life is something that brings hope and extreme joy. We love transferring this feeling to our beloved guests and bring together a group of ocean loving enthusiasts that returns home inspired.

It’s also connected to Jakarta, Denpasar-Bali, Makassar and Surabaya by Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air, Batik Air or CitiLink, all offering daily flights, 7 days a week.
The trip from / to the international airport takes approximately 1 1/2 hour each way. Our driver will meet you at the airport with a sign with your name on it.

Please contact us directly for tailor made transfers in between resorts or hotels in North Sulawesi. A surcharge for this service may apply.
Day to Day
We have 20 dives to spread out over 7 days, that means we will be in the water A LOT. Waking up early to get the first dive in, take breakfast, do another dive, have lunch, and then go out for the last dive of the day is how your days will usually look.
In between there’s enough time to relax, explore the roadless island, and just disconnect from the outside world.
Two island trips to the nearby wonders of Bunaken and Lembeh are included as well to give you the maximum exposure of the region and its differences in divesites.

Coral Eye
Coral Eye is a unique Boutique Resort on Bangka Island, North Sulawesi in Indonesia. Originally founded as an outpost for marine studies, today Coral Eye Bangka is a melting pot of passionate travelers, dive enthusiasts, underwater photographers and marine biologists.
Coral Eye was designed to place the guest at the center of the space, creating a unique environment that favors socialisation and communication between people united by a common passion for the sea.
The original idea was to create a co-working outpost where universities and students could exchange ideas and develop their projects on tropical marine environments. In 2013, following the construction of the diving center and lots of hard work, Coral Eye opened its doors to tourism as an alternative to mix science with passion and love for the sea.
In 2022 Coral Eye joins forces with the Siladen Resort and Spa to form a new partnership and elevate the resort to a new level of comfort for guests. While keeping the original community spirit of Coral Eye and the characteristics that have distinguished it from other resorts since its founding, the new partnership adds a touch of luxury with 7 new villas and an upgrade of the existing rooms and general guest services.

Bangka
Bangka Island, situated off the northeastern coast of Sulawesi in Indonesia, is renowned for its stunning coral reefs and vibrant marine life. Divers and snorkelers flock to its waters to witness swirling schools of fish, including vibrant butterflyfish and curious clownfish darting among the corals, and seahorses.
The island’s underwater terrain is adorned with dramatic rock formations, providing shelter to elusive creatures like the flamboyant cuttlefish and the intricate ghost pipefish.
Additionally, Bangka Island is a hotspot for encounters with graceful sea turtles gracefully gliding through the azure waters, as well as reef sharks scouting for an opportunity.
Bankga is a prime example of the spectacular value Indonesia’s waters and islands have to offer.
