Great trip to Banda Sea
I had an incredible time on board! The dive guides were highly experienced and knew the area extremely well, making every dive both safe and exciting. The boat was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. My cabin had plenty of room, and the daily housekeeping made the stay even more enjoyable. The entire crew was incredibly helpful and friendly, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The food was great, fresh, varied, and absolutely delicious at every meal. Thanks to the large steel hull, the boat remained stable even in rougher seas, making the journey smooth and comfortable throughout. Between dives, there were plenty of places to relax, whether on the sun deck or in the cozy lounge. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I’d highly recommend to any diver looking for a well-organized and memorable trip!

The best liveaboard experience I have had
Cabin size and always kept clean. Friendly helpful crew. The boat setup is great loved the showers at the back, the nice warm ginger tea at the end of each dive. Dive briefing very helpful. The crew really engage with the guests checking we are ok getting our import all the time. Small number in each dive group ( only 4 per dive guide is great ) Food was great diving was great the whole experience was one to remember and Sarah and I are coming back.

Raja Ampat. Period.
Raja Ampat lived up to its reputation. So grateful to get off the waitlist for Blue Manta. Don’t wait too long to book. Dive sites were a blast with some many fish, Cedric our maestro ran a top ship, the crew were incredibly hospitable and food was delicious, Vickly represented the best of divemasters, and my peers were a great, friendly group. Many of whom had been on the ship (and route) several times prior. Hope to do a crossing and/or Komodo soon with them. 5 stars!

A great diving trip with great crew
I went to Raja Ampat by Blue Manta . The diving experience was amazing and the staff was very friendly and took care of your requests. The diving groups are relatively small (groups of 4 unless requested otherwise). The boat is also very comfortable and you don’t feel cramped. The boat is getting old and needs some TLC but it is extremely comfortable. The food is mostly local and I find it a bit high in carb.

Simply the best boat!!
This was my second trip on Blue Manta. I was on the boat in Komodo and just got back from Raja Ampat. This is the best liveaboard I’ve been on. It’s huge and very stable. The service was unbelievable and everyone from the cruise director to the dive masters and chefs went out of their way to give the best service. The rooms are huge, food was awesome and the diving was incredible. I can’t wait to get back on this boat.
