Highlights
The Queenesia II is a beautiful 32meter/105ft long phinisi liveaboard in Indonesia. This boat was built in 2016 and is made of ironwood, making it sturdy and durable.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, refreshments, and mineral water, as well as tea and coffee, are included in the trip. Dives from Queenesia II follow a 1-to-4 dive guide-to-guest ratio.
The areas visited by Queenesia II include Manta Point, Komodo National Park, Crystal Rock, Castle Rock, and Batu Bolong reef. These areas are known for their stunning corals, abundant fish life, and clear waters. Manta Point is a must-see as this dive spot is known for its large population of Manta Rays, Eagle Rays, Clown Triggerfish, and Unicorn fish. The average visibility in Komodo is 20 to 30 meters, and guests can see Manta Rays & White tip sharks. Crystal Rock is popular due to its colorful corals and diverse fish life, including moray eels, scorpion fish, as well as Tuna and Mackerel. Castle Rock is an excellent spot for seeing larger pelagic fish such as barracuda, trevallies, and mackerel. Sharks are often spotted here as well. Batu Bolong reef is covered in corals, anthias and other reef fish, sharks, napoleon wrasse, and Manta Rays. For macro lovers, there are nudibranchs in the shallow reef area.

Great Raja Ampat Liveaboard!
This was my first trip to Indonesia and my first liveaboard and it did not disappoint at all! From day one, the crew was fantastic - friendly and constantly going out of their way to ensure the passengers were satisfied. The food quality (and quantity) was consistenly great even on the 11-day trip. Even the variety of food exceeded my expectations. Regarding diving, the sites were great - mantas, pygmy sea horses, rays and a whole variety of creatures throughout the dives that our guides were happy to help us find. The guides continually went out of their way to help - both underwater and above water. We had one dive guide for a group of 3 divers, so never felt like we weren't getting enough support at all. Even when some of the passengers wanted to adjust the itinerary to get more dives in, the cruise director talked with each of the passengers and crew and were able to adjust to suit everyone's needs. Very professional and managed well.

In overall great quality and the nicest staff
I had great time with the Queenesia II crew and guests! Boat is really nice in overall and everything was working just great. Service was really good and every single meal was great. Loved the dive guides! They gave their best to feel us happy. Unfortunately sizes of the diving groups were too big which forced more experienced divers to end dives with half a tank left. Guides tried their best to make everybody as happy as possible.

Amazing liveaboard
Seeing mantas up close was definitely the major highlight of the trip. We saw mantas at 4 divesites around Misool (south Raja Ampat). Surprisingly there were none at Manta Sandy though when we were diving there. The crew was extremely helpful. We never had to carry any tanks or set up our dive gear. All of that was handled by them, while we could fully relax between dives. The sunbeds on the deck were a great way to do such relaxing. During the dives the dive guides would spot many small animals that were expertly hidden such as pygmy seahorses. They were also great at slightly changing the route under water to avoid any strong currents. The food was also great. Lot's of amazingly prepared local quisine, such as fried rice, noodles, chicken, fish and various different soups. And nothing was spicy by default, but they always had spicy sauce ready for the people that wanted that. So it was great for everyone (those who love spicy food and those who don't).

Great diving , good rental gear , nice comfortable diving
The diving in Raja Ampat lived up to the reviews of many i have heard as to why it is one of the top dive locations in the world. The islands also make for a stunning scenery of untouched natural beauty. The crew service was great from meals , making the beds, getting our dive gear loaded and unloaded onto the dinghy. If i could suggest an improvement would be better communication on the hike up to Wayag viewing point . Some of the guests with no hiking experience found it difficult and did not feel they were adequately informed of the appropriate shoes to bring. They were able to use the diving boots which worked well enough . The boat was comfortable with air conditioning in the cabins, the bunk was laid out well for ease of getting up and down. Towels provided to dry off after every dive was more than i expected.

Awesome first trip to Raja Ampat
Having dived in various area around south east Asia, I will say Banda sea was one of the best I've been to. The hammerheads migration was one of the stunning experience I've had. A pity that the whale sighting was when we were on the boat instead of during a dive. The dive guide is very experience and answered all my questions and even gave me advice on how to improve on my buoyancy control. Quite flexible with the site as long as all of us agreed to the change. The room are quite spacious and clean, plenty of areas to relax on the deck drinking beer while enjoying the scenery in the day and the starry sky at night. Downside is similar to many wooden liveaboard out there, there are some engine noise, but I will say this is one of the better ones in term of condition and comfort. Overall great experience.
