A journey I will cherish forever
The crew is friendly and polite. The dive masters are professional, they will usually do a checkout dive to assess the current conditions and scout for marine life. The room service is excellent and they make the bed neatly every day

One of the best liveaboards out there
The best liveaboard I’ve been on. The cabin was really spacious with a comfortable bed. The crew did everything possible to make our trip enjoyable. The dive sites were great and our dive guides were keen to show us all the critters while keeping us safe. I’ve already booked my next trip for the next year.

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.

Just great and suuuper organized!! I'll be back!
It was my first live delegation and I'll definitely do it again.The whole crew took great care of it. It was VERY clean and also the food was good.In terms of value for money, I only give 3 stars because I paid a lot because I wanted to use one cabin individually. That could possibly be Even better, especially when the boat is not full.And Raja Ampath is really the king's territory! I recommend everyone to go on safari there, you see the most.
