Ten unforgettable days of world-class diving in Raja Ampat aboard the White Manta
Fantastic 10-day diving trip aboard White Manta in Raja Ampat. The boat is spacious and comfortable, cabins were clean, and everything was well organized. The dive guides and crew were excellent — professional, safety-focused, and very knowledgeable. Diving was outstanding with incredible coral, huge schools of fish, mantas, sharks, and great variety throughout the trip. Food was plentiful and delicious, and the overall service was top-notch. An unforgettable Raja Ampat experience. Highly recommended.

Misool to Trition Bay Trip- Just say yes!!
Loved this trip from Misoolto Trition Bay! Oceanic Mantas, Whale Sharks, Bumphead Parrotfish, Huge schools of surgeon fish, fusseiliers and anthias. Mind blowing healthy diversity of coral. Highly recommend this itinerary. Downside was the Russian couple on the trip that was trashing the coral and trying to touch everything including the manta and whale sharks.

Loved every minute of it! I'll be back!
I can't say enough good things about this liveaboard! I had the absolute best experience from beginning to end. The boat is beautiful, comfortable, and well taken care of. The crew was so lovely, they always had a genuine smile on their faces and were always happy to help with anything. The food was seriously amazing, and the dive sites were so beautiful and allowed us to have the most amazing wildlife encounters and enjoy breathtaking views!! The whole thing worked like a very well oiled machine, and I really enjoyed every minute of it!!

Amazing diving with amazing people
We thoroughly enjoyed our liveaboard experience on White Manta with Nacho and crew. It was hands down the best liveaboard we’ve been on. The food was delicious and full of variety, and the crew was so attentive. Of course Raja Ampat has some of the best diving in the world, so overall we would definitely come back!

Incredible Banda Sea Crossing & Raja Ampat Liveaboard Experience
Just finished an amazing liveaboard trip across the Banda Sea and Raja Ampat—easily one of the best dive trips I’ve ever had! The dive sites were spectacular, offering everything from stunning pelagics like hammerheads or tuna to fascinating macro life. Our dive master Komang, was fantastic, guiding us to the best spots and pointing out hidden gems that truly made each dive unforgettable. The crew was outstanding—always friendly, attentive, and ready to help, which made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. We had a spacious cabin on the main deck that was as clean and well-kept as a 4-star hotel, with plenty of room to relax after each day’s dives. Between dives, we enjoyed fresh, delicious food and a few unexpected surprises, including a surprise birthday celebration and a special gathering to celebrate one diver’s 1000th dive—moments that brought the entire group together. If you’re considering a liveaboard in this region, I can’t recommend this experience enough! Top-notch service, amazing dive spots, and a comfortable, spacious and clean boat—this trip had it all.

Friendly diving for singles
We had an all- Indonesian crew which felt appropriate. They looked after all my gear after every dive. Generally great food and certainly lots of it. The boat was comfortable and really spacious. As always, we are all responsible for our own safety and some of the dive sites have quirky strong currents.
