The trip of a lifetime
Everything was PERFECT. The staff waited on us in every way, cleaning constantly, maintaining our rooms, complete with evening turn down service and helping everyone with scuba gear. No need to lift a finger for anything. The food was exquisite, a mixture of local delicacies, combined with comfortable and familiar selections, always fresh and healthy, plated four course dinners. The diving was outstanding! The guides were next level! Able to spot the invisible and find us the most impressive large creatures. We had a really fun group of other divers along for the trip and made friendships that will last a lifetime.

Most comfortable liveaboard you will ever experience with great diving in a unqiue transition exploratory trip!
White Manta is such a spacious liveaboard. The rooms are full size hotel rooms full air conditioned with full size bathrooms unheard of on a boat. Ample room to accommodate up to 28 divers on the dive deck while prepping gear to start a dive. The boat even has its own dedicated camera room for people who focus on photography. Proper trip and diving coordination, from spacing out dive teams, limiting 4 people per guide, great guides that can care for any level of diver, crew carrying your gear to the launch boats, island visits and constant coordination on what is planned to go on. This boat won over a future repeat customer here! I haven't even started on the diving. Transition trip from Lembeh to Sangalaki. Diving highlights were turtles a plenty, many frog fish, up close mantas, mucho macro, hammerhead, channel diving, and whale sharks.

Your most epic dive adventure awaits...
Seeing all of the charismatic megafauna- Thresher sharks, Whale sharks, Turtles, schooling barracuda, Manta rays- the list goes on. A highlight for me was going to Sangalakki and being a part of the baby turtle release. This was very special! The crew were amazing. The service and food was top notch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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!!

Best service, spacious cabins, epic dives
Yes, the diving is great but this boat really sets itself apart with its excellent service, delicious and plentiful food, and clean and comfy accommodations. The rooms are big, including the shower and bathroom. The beds are comfy. There’s plenty of space to lounge and socialize or just be solo. The crew is just impeccable. They help you with everything!!! All you have to do is jump in the water. We will surely miss them all. I recommend this boat 110%, without hesitation! You will love 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!
