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.

Wonderful Experience on White Manta
I had a great experience on the White Manta liveaboard. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, and the whole trip ran smoothly. The crew was friendly, professional, and always helpful, making everyone feel welcome throughout the trip. The dive guides were knowledgeable and did a great job finding amazing marine life. The boat was clean and comfortable, the cabins were well maintained, and there was plenty of space to relax between dives. The food was excellent with lots of variety, and there were always snacks and drinks available. Overall, everything was good, and I really enjoyed my time on board. I’d definitely recommend White Manta.

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!

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.
